Where do governments run when the worst case scenario arrives?

BY JOSHUA E. KEATING | AUGUST 23, 2011

Libya's rebel fighters breached Muammar al-Qaddafi's compound at Bab al-Azizya on Tuesday. Though the fortified area was described by rebel leaders as the colonel's last holdout, there is, as yet, no sign of him (or much of his family). So where did he go? There are reports of a network of underground tunnels built beneath Tripoli during the 1980s after the U.S. attacks, which could make it difficult for the rebels to track Qaddafi down, or perhaps even allow him to escape. But Qaddafi is hardly the first leader with an elaborate plan to go to ground when the going gets tough.

"and the Supreme Court justices get their own private sleeping quarters."

I wonder how large of a "donation" I'd have make to justice Thomas to get a spot?

Impressive

Besides what this post is talking about, they seem to know everything that is going to happen weeks before, so they have nothing to worry about, spy systems are very powerful I think, while people is wondering how to be millionaire they have their insiders watching us all the time, I wonder why nothing happens... Ever... Everyting has to be based in traitors that have getting together with someone for months until you become the traitor.

Bunkers?

An interesting topic and article for us to discuss and debate. Splendid points made above about Where do governments run when the worst case scenario arrives? I agree with many of these. I appreciate you taking time to write this article. It's really good reading and learning new things on sudjects I wouldn't normally read about and seeing other peoples views on these critical matters. I recommend everyone in the mp3 download and dj hire association read them too. Best, Garrys.

And Palestinian land will shrink, suicide bombers will respond, rockets will be launched and Israelis killed. Now Hezbollah and Sunnis have started up again in Lebanon. And Iran is powering up its nuclear capacity. Israel may feel impelled to react at some point if it calculates either Lebanon or Iran needs to be nipped in the bud. Add Syria to the toxic mix in Lebanon; and if things boil over there then Palestine will be left to sit and stew on the perennial international back burner. Hope, at this point, is not even a diamond in the rough. porno porno porno porno sikiş web tasarım
