What happened in Lebanon?
- Thread starter BelemNole
- Start date
How irresponsible can one get claiming that it was an attack, without any proof? (Was he doubting his intelligence agencies again? wth?) It is extremely dangerous for that kind of statement for such a tragic event in that part of the world.
Trump says it was an attack? I thought for sure he would say it was fake news and that a bomb didn't really go off; just a Democratic hoax started by Obama.
I still have years old empties I stuffed into a rarely used closet that I keep forgetting to put into recycling. I'm not proud of it. I imagine there's probably a couple of tons of ammonium nitrate lying around that I've forgotten about, too. To err is human, to forgive divine.
He made it up. I doubt he spoke with any generals.
It is very possible a bomb was used on the Lebanon port but Trump was not supposed to blabber publically on internal discussion
he’s a blabber mouth
He heard about a big explosion in the ME and the only conclusion his mind could reach was bomb. In his mind, there is no other possible explanation.
In 2013 Lebanese authorities arrested a ship (pdf) that had been abandoned by its owner:
On 23/9/2013, m/v Rhosus, flying the Moldovian flag, sailed from Batumi Port, Georgia heading to Biera in Mozambique carrying 2,750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate in bulk.
En route, the vessel faced technical problems forcing the Master to enter Beirut Port. Upon inspection of the vessel by Port State Control, the vessel was forbidden from sailing. Most crew except the Master and four crew members were repatriated and shortly afterwards the vessel was abandoned by her owners after charterers and cargo concern lost interest in the cargo. The vessel quickly ran out of stores, bunker and provisions.
...
Owing to the risks associated with retaining the Ammonium Nitrate on board the vessel, the port authorities discharged the cargo onto the port’s warehouses. The vessel and cargo remain to date in port awaiting auctioning and/or proper disposal.
The ammonium nitrate was stored in a quayside warehouse. The picture shows the 1,000 kilogram big bags labeled "Nitroprill HD" in bad storage conditions at the 'Hanger 12' warehouse in Beirut.

I prefer the blurry one where you can sort of see bigfoot run in carrying a torch.
His name is Darrell. He has a name, you know!
The guy who posted that video has some other interesting videos on his channel. He might oit or related to oit.
I'm certain not a professional, but if you stop it each time the projectile is coming down in the two clips, it looks like it's the same size in both, despite them being shot from different distances away.
That stuff was there for 6 years. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to start a fire nearby in the hopes of setting it off.
Or it's a guy trying to save his own skin as people riot in the streets....
Best thing to do when you run your mouth is to double down and keep running your mouth and then start to blame others for you position.
I had no idea that the list of votes is available. Thanks for the heads up. Oh, yeah. No surprise. That Nole is a lost soul, it seems.
Generally speaking you try to look into every possibility. That doesn't mean that those things are true.
Certainly doesn't mean that the president of the united states should talk about stuff he doesn't have all the information on.
Our biggest non nuke bomb, MOAB, has an 11 Tons of TNT yield and has to be dropped from a C-130. They estimate this had 200-400 tons of TNT yield.
Isn’t it possible that people knew that this was there and targeted it with a smaller bomb knowing it would ignite into a bigger explosion?
Making both things true? The area was bombed and there was a bunch of Ammonium Nitrate stored there?

No. It was malfeasance but the Government and the citizens are seeking regime change. The guy you are going to vote for spit out a falsehood. Just say that the guy you are going to vote for lies in a public forum about critical issues and you are ok with that.
There were fires burning near the blast in the video for the world to see. Fires burning near the blast. A blast. Ammonium nitrate. Fires burning. A blast.
Seems like forensic 101 to me. But, missiles are sexy.

Respect Israel and don’t permit terrorist attacks against them to originate within your borders.
