>>8646The CIA is in love with Afghanistan. All those precious poppy plants growing everywhere, as well as the weed! Oh the weed! We practically own the drug market right now.
>>8648I'd say that most of these conflicts involving the US are purely because of lucrative assets in the middle east.
>>8649I shat brix! You've found the reason we're in the middle east!
>>8649Oh u.

Oh u.
CIA finally found target to nuke in Afghanistan. President McCain was shot full of steroids, wheeled into the War Room, then managed to push the button without external help. FOX talking heads cream their pants!!
>>8650Didn't think you'd agree with me, CCCP.
>>8645 Yeah let's nuke a stone age society. That'll show 'em. To be honest, they have no infrastructure to lose, and their cities are small. I doubt they'll even blink.

Is anybody else here annoyed by the fact that because he posted it on 4chan, the media has made it out to be an 'attack by Anonymous'?Good. If the FauxNews cover story, the Scientology DDoS attacks, and the other such crap that people from the less responsible chans do, this will just make one more case for the US government to make the *chans into domestic terrorist websites.Soon shall the witch hunt against the *chans commence.

If McCainiac comes in, you will soon only be able to post on party-approved websites. Remember this effort: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/13/mccain-war-on-blogs/
Man, if I hacked into Sarah Palin's e-mail account, I wouldn't post about it on 4chan; that's dumb. It would be more fun to do more insidious things like send offensive e-mails out to important officials. Not so offensive that it's immediately obvious that it's a hoax, of course. Then, chaos!

And by "somewhere else" I do not mean "somewhere else besides the internet".

Think about it. 4chan, 7chan, ED, 711chan, and 420chan all go down at once. Where do you think they're gonna go?We already know where 4chan goes when it dies.

Also, doesn't anyone find it convenient that the email accounts containing emails potentially vital to a government investigation of Sarah Palin were deleted by mysterious anonymous hackers who strenuously asserted that nothing incriminating was to be found? And then the attack blamed on the son of a Democratic Representative?
