Russian FSB sources are reporting today that an attempt by Special Forces Troops of the United States Military to arrest the American Vice President Cheney shortly after boarding his official plane in Australia has resulted in at least 3 dead and an unknown number of wounded.

These reports state that the United States Air Force, which is in control of the American Vice Presidents plane, sent an

Wow!
How many different ways can they say the same thing?

I don’t believe the U.S. Military has the power to arrest the VP. The military cannot be used for domestic police work. And since orders to the military come from the President - it would seem pretty damn odd that the president would order the arrest of his VP. This sounds like a Weekly World News story.

After finally reading the article - why would you even post from such a source? It is a funny story, however.

So, American special forces raided Air Force Two in the middle of one of Australia’s main airports without anybody noticing, despite lots of witnesses watching the airplane and giving details about what it did?  That seems a tad unlikely.

. . .in an unprecedented move many of these Top United States Generals have threatened a mass resignation. . .

Three deads aboard Cheney’s plane? Hasn’t he learned to stay away from his hunting riffles?

Interesting story, there was no report of it in Australia. Sure the plane had minor problems. Just because Prime Minister Howard is in bed with Bush and Cheney, it does not mean the press will jump in as well. The

You should read Rogue Warrior books.  Written by the founder of Seal Team Six.  He will tell you all about the corruption in the Govt.  He will tell you how there are Rogue elements within the military and they don’t follow the same rules as everyone else. He pretty much doesn’t like any of the presidents and found leads to all kinds of dirt on them.

They are kinda like the computer programmers of a corporation.  They actually have more power then the president of the company.  The president is more likely to get fired then the programer.

Although many of the military are corrupt.  Not all of them are.  I am hoping there are still more heros within the ranks.  The military is our only hope.  If we don’t have them then we don’t have anything but God himself to help us. Lets pray there are some good guys working on our behalf.

With the exception of the first one, which is Marcinko’s autobiography, the remainging Rogue Warrior books are fictional and co-authored. He’s also written 2 or 3 self-help books.
