I'm certain we are NOT being told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...
But the way I am looking at things... it seems to me that someone is sending an unmistakable message to the President. I wonder what it was. Let's take a look at the reason I say this.
The acting director of the White House Travel Office, Mr. Pitts, accompanied President George W. Bush on a brief visit to Hawaii. The stop came after an eight-day trip to Asia.
Mr Pitts was robbed and beaten in Waikiki early on Tuesday morning outside a nightclub. "He was knocked down, punched, kicked -- his wallet and id were stolen," His passport and international phone were also taken.
While President Bush stayed at Hickam Air Force Base, White House staff, crew from the airplane and reporters stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.
The article about the motorcycle officers said the officers were involved in a crash while escorting President George W. Bush to Hickam Air Force Base
The article about the acting director of White House travel being robbed said that the President stayed at Hickam Air Force Base. The accident happened at 7AM... OUTSIDE the gates of Hickam.
The motorcycles reportedly slipped individually on a rain-slicked roadway at about 7:10 a.m near the base entry area.
If President Bush stayed on Hickam Monday night, why was he traveling BACK to Hickam at 7AM in the morning. Don't tell me he had a 6AM breakfast meeting!
What could have caused three experienced motorcycle cops to lose control of their bikes? I'm just not buying that three motorcycle officers dumped their bikes because of an early morning rain. What else was on the road? Oil? Bombs? Assassins?
The injured officers and the beaten White House travel director are all at the Queen's Medical Center. Mr. Pitts did not return to Washington with the President. Was he that badly injured, or did the President's security team get the President out of Hawaii before something worse happened to him or his party.
While all of this was happening in Hawaii, the President's two daughters were in Argentina. According to an Argentine newspaper, they had been working in Paraguay with Unicef and had made a secret visit to Argentina. Remember, the Bush family just bought enough land in Paraguay to retire quite comfortably... Paraguay is a place that has a long history of giving aid and comfort to dictators in exile.
According to an Argentine paper, the girls made an "incognito" visit. A source that asked not to be identified said "the incident" happened last night.
Exactly WHAT happened last night? The first reports said that both girls were assaulted and Barbara was badly beaten. Within a half hour that story had been replaced by the story... supposedly from this Source who asks NOT to be identified... who said that only Barbara's purse and cell phone were stolen.
The Argentine paper also reports that "the daughter of the American President was involved in an argument with strangers". What was the nature of the argument? Was it a verbal argument or did it get physical? Who were these strangers? Do you really think the Secret Service doesn't know?
The ABC article on this incident doesn't mention anything about Barbara or Jenna being in an argument, much less being beaten. The article states that First Daughter, Barbara Bush had her purse and cell phone stolen as she had dinner in a restaurant in Buenos Aires.
Please remember that the acting Director of the White House travel office also had his phone, his ID, his passport and his wallet stolen.
Please think for a moment about all the private White House telephone numbers that are in those two phones. The Director of the White House travel office probably has the cell phone numbers of every member of the Bush Administration plus every reporter who ever traveled on Air Force One.
Barbara Bush would have family and friend's phone numbers. Her parents, her grandparents, her uncles, her cousins, her friends... who are probably the children of some of the richest and most powerful people in the world.
What do you think the White House is doing right now? I would think they are all throwing away their old telephones and getting new ones. How long do you think it will be before everyone in the White House has a new cellphone... and everyone has access to all the new cell phone numbers.
The same will be true of the President's family and friends.
Now we have the rest of the Argentine story... another beating.
According to the ABC article:
"A Secret Service agent on the advance detail got into an "altercation" with someone after a night out and was badly beaten, according to the law enforcement reports. The Secret Service said today the incident was an attempted mugging that occurred while the agent was on his own time."
The Director of White House travel was on his own time when he was mugged and beaten.
Two beatings... Two cell phones stolen. A wallet and a purse stolen. This means someone has a lot of personal information about the director of White House travel and about Barbara Bush.
One last thing. The ABC article says the girls were in Panama working with Unicef. The Argentine article says they were in Paraguay working with Unicef. I wonder where they were, and if their secret trip to Argentina was on the Unicef schedule... or their parents.
I won't go so far as to speculate that an assassination attempt was averted in Hawaii. I think something else happened here. I think a very OPEN message was sent to the President. I also think that the Bush family and the Bush Administration's telephone lines were compromised. Because of this there was probably a telephone silence for a number of hours this morning and afternoon.
By now, telephone security has probably been restored to all involved. But what could have happened this morning and this afternoon while most of the Bush White House and the Bush family were out of touch with each other?
I wonder if anyone will admit this ever happened?
