Washington – White House: No Nexus To Terrorism In Germanwings Crash

    Rescue workers work on debris of the Germanwings jet at the crash site near Seyne-les-Alpes, France, Thursday, March 26, 2015. The co-pilot of the Germanwings jet barricaded himself in the cockpit and “intentionally” rammed the plane full speed into the French Alps, ignoring the captain’s frantic pounding on the cockpit door and the screams of terror from passengers, a prosecutor said Thursday. In a split second, he killed all 150 people aboard the plane.

    Separately, the FBI said it had offered help to French investigators who are studying the crash.

    “We stand ready to fulfill any requests for information or assistance by crash investigators, as we work with partner nations whose citizens were impacted by this tragedy,” the FBI said in a statement.‎

    It is amazing that the White House knows this before any investigation!

    Note that they didn’t say that the pilot was not an Arab!

    Because he WAS an Arab.

    As to why an Arab would do that?

    He does not need much of a reason to do that….these people Kill themsleves and others all the time.

    No Nexus to Terror of course.

    It’s quite ordinary and expected of an Arab Pilot to behave this way on any ordinary day for not special reason at all.

    Only an Arab in the white house can say such foolishness.

    Mr. Obama, who often says that the Muslim terrorists are not really Muslims, since real Muslims would never do those evil acts, would probably say that this co-pilot was not really a co-pilot because co-pilots would not do that evil act.
    Therefore, the co-pilot was not a co-pilot.
    Get it?
    Me neither.

    Why does President Obama always downplay the possibility of terrorism? Is he trying to protect the reputation of Islam? Why not wait until the investigation is finished? I believe it smells like terrorism, it feels like terrorism and it probably is terrorism. There must be some connection between this rogue pilot and the international cabal of terrorists..
