Since you cannot be bothered with the courtesy of a handle we will never know.<br /><br />This being said my reply to Kepler was that his occasional silly PCness kills any sense of irony. On the other hand I have often read from him condemnation of ruthless dictators from left or right. So I never doubted his core intention though I objected his form. What is your excuse? Because for all what I know know a chavista supporter would have written this comment pretty much the same, silly DISIP comment included. As if the security apparatus of Chavez was not equally brutal and inhumane.<br />Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-64361235793693339582013-10-01T18:10:11.319+02:002013-10-01T18:10:11.319+02:00because the airbus has major structural damage the...because the airbus has major structural damage they are not clear about. The regime wants Airbus to fix this for free? It seems that they hard-landed and this is not covered by any warranty. The regime probably wants Airbus to repair for a discount but the repair may not be feasible or too costly meaning worth more than the aircraft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-39399763301184481802013-10-01T18:03:24.284+02:002013-10-01T18:03:24.284+02:00Now you are pegging Maduro as an alcoholic or drug...Now you are pegging Maduro as an alcoholic or drug user. You don't even know what he's on, but he's on something because you know better. This is not a winning argument. Personally, I doubt his vices if any, are interfering with his work. Winston Churchill or JFK (too many to list) and both performed just fine.<br /><br />steroids and amphetamine injections that were administered to the first lady and the president by a man nicknamed Dr. Feelgood:<br /><br />“Max Jacobson, known as Dr. Feelgood, administered high-dosage amphetamine shots laced with steroids to the president on a regular basis. In fact, he would do multiple duty injecting the president, first lady, and members of their inner circle at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.”<br /><br />The book states that others started to worry that the injections might interfere with medications JFK was taking for medical problems.<br /><br />“Even Gore Vidal, who had been a patient of Jacobson’s, was ‘horrified’ to learn he was treating Jack. ‘Watch out,’ he warned Jackie. ‘Stay away from him. I know him well. Max drove several people mad.’"<br /><br />The excerpt continues, "Chuck Spalding, the man who introduced Max to the Kennedys, was also having second thoughts. At one point, Jacobson’s bizarre behavior and his own dependence on the injections made Spalding ‘very frightened. ... The whole thing had gotten so completely out of hand.’"<br /><br />"It didn’t matter to the president. ‘I don’t care if there’s panther p--- in there,’ JFK said, ‘as long as it makes me feel good.’”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-40616353105116206382013-10-01T17:43:36.639+02:002013-10-01T17:43:36.639+02:00Daniel, Posada Carriles has a lot of innocent civi...Daniel, Posada Carriles has a lot of innocent civilian blood on his hands.

Would you fly in a jet maintained by a socialist government that destroys everything it touches? Think of the Amuay refinery explosion or numerous bridges collapsing.<br />2. Chavez kids or Maduro's wife needed the Airbus to go shopping.<br />3. Cuba can mind control Maduro better with him in a Cuban airplane.<br />4.

The other theories could be also true, but you know it would have been risky to let maduro try to explain how 1.3 tons of coke flew commercial out of his cuban operated international airport...among other hot topics.<br /><br />concernedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-3993574828140943732013-09-26T12:51:55.372+02:002013-09-26T12:51:55.372+02:00What are the chances that Posada Carriles will sne...What are the chances that Posada Carriles will sneak out of Miami, unnoticed by the US security agencies, check into a hotel in New York (again surreptitiously), go to the UN general assembly and take a pot shot at Maduro?
