Trump says Beirut explosion was caused by a 'bomb of some kind'Same thing the Oklahoma City bomber used. I guess a bomb by any other name is still a bomb.

He was a racist but lived for a time in a socialist commune. You sure he was right wing and what does your version of right wing look like? Conservatives obey the law. Sounds like he disqualified himself as right wing anymore than someone who protects an unborn baby can call themselves a crazy, left wing loon.
I understand your incredulity at the official story. Your assessment is reasonable.
Supposedly 2750 Tons of Ammonia Nitrate was stored at the port. Here's the weird thing: Since 2013. That's like having a horse shit in your house and never cleaning it up. A ship entered port with the stuff, it was bound for somewhere else, the Lebanese offloaded the product, "imprisoned" the crew and let the ship go on its way. The ship later sank.
Some people, including the Lebanese, are blaming "the Jews."
The stuff sat there for seven years? Why? I know Muslim law is kinda fuzzy on ownership but this was a total liability. My understanding of Muslim law is the port authority is liable for damages, including death. In other words, some port authority officials may be chopped chopped. Originally Posted by gnadfly

It is highly inappropriate of the port authority to store the amonnium nitrate as they did - it is an explosion waiting to happen - .
thje lessons go back - even beyond teh 1947 explosion of teh Grandkamp in Texas City - which leveled a great deal of the port city.
Likely Hezbollah wanted the ammonium nitrate for future terrorist blasts - and confiscated it from the ship and stored it for a future use. They dominate Lebanon - it is not a democratic country - it is radical hezbollah Shiite run. Originally Posted by oeb11

they found this port worker 30 miles at sea still alive.
how he survived being thrown 30 miles from the blast is beyond me. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm
