This Guy Is Getting Hilarious

SGT Chavez's hole gets deeper:

Q - How soon after 9/11 did you go to Afghanistan?

It was about 2 ½ weeks after 9/11 that it happened, the 26th, a couple of weeks, few weeks.

That is interesting, because in his original letter he said the 25th. Must be a time zone thing...

Q - Now that you know what you know and you were sent to Afghanistan... Did you still think in your mind that you were trying to get the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Bin Laden?

That’s the thing. I flew into Kabul Airport, like, I mean literally when our C5 came in, we were escorted by jet. We were escorted by F15s and we were getting shot at, like, they were literally, like, pop-shotting up at the planes as we were trying to land because the Special Forces and the Air force para-rescue guys had just, had just cleared it, like, literally like, we were there like, I was there, like, five hours after like, the fire fight where they actually got everybody, like all the Taliban moved back out of the airport so that we could land planes, ya know. So, like, I’m on a, we’re on a big C5 and we’ve got all our vehicles underneath us, and I’m mean, I’m just like, “Oh God, ya know, this thing could fall out of the sky, because it doesn’t ...”

This part is just hilarious. For starters C5s were hardly used at all during the beginning of the war, the airports were not long enough or in good enough shape to handle that large of a plane, the C-130 and C-17 were used instead. Secondly, how did we manage to take over the entire airfield, without anyone other than Mr. Chavez, not even the Taliban apparently, noticing for almost 2 months?

He continues:

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a C-5 fly, but it looks like it’s not even moving, it’s so big. So it’s really easy to like shoot at, like a machine gun, ya know, and ya know, like, there were bullet holes on the sides of the plane. And of course they didn’t come all the way through, but and we’re all looking at them later and I’m like, “Holy cow, we’re getting shot at!”

Wow, now we have bulletproof C-5s! What will they think of next?

But, yeah, I thought we were going to Afghanistan to hunt down Bin Laden. I’m helping in the search to hunt down Bin Laden. No. Not the case. Actually, I actually was providing communications for special ops guys and then I was pulling roving guard, guarding the pipeline.

Q - Guarding the pipeline for oil for United States... corporate, right?

That’s right. A lot of people don’t know about the pipeline. A lot of people, when I talk about that are like, “What are you talking about?” And I’m like, “Dude, there’s a huge... like, the Alaskan pipeline, that comes all the way through Afghanistan, like down in the Gulf, it comes through Pakistan...” I don’t know where all it goes, honestly I haven’t really found a whole lot on it, but... I was, I had to pull shifts, like every two or three days they’d..... I’ve have to pull a six hour rotation, on top of a humvica(?) driving around pieces, these sections of this pipeline to make sure that, ya know, like, guys weren’t going to come blow it up. And ya know, then, that’s when I started thinking, I’m like, I’m like, well, “What am I here for man? I’m not protecting people, I’m protecting oil!” Ya know, who wants to get shot for that? They give you guys awards, ya know, and I’m just like, “For what? Ya know, what did we do? We protected someone’s money. Ya know, somebody’s investment.”

Yeah, a lot of people don't know about the pipeline, like, for example, the government of Afghanistan!

“The agreement was signed in the expectation that the security situation would change in the next two years,” said political analyst Qasim Akhgar. “It certainly will, but it is not clear whether it will get better or worse.”

The pipeline proposal has been on the table for decades. The first tentative agreement was brokered in 1984, but fell apart because of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Another plan in the early 1990s was scrapped because of the factional wars that followed the Soviet withdrawal.

I am starting to think this guy is just having fun making this stuff up. There are other lies and factual errors in his interview, but I will let others point them out, else this post get too long.

Update: Now Chavez has posted answers to questions people have been asking. Curiously enough, he doesn't address any of the questions we have been asking.

A simple look with Google Earth over the area where he claims the pipeline is, would show us would it not?

But the pipeline is hidden from the sky by the hologram projectors...

The president of afghanistan is a former (or still is) board member of UNOCAL.

No actually he isn't. A French newspaper once claimed, without listing a source, that he once worked as an consultant (not a member of the board) for UNOCAL, but it has never been shown that he was, and nobody else has ever claimed that.

You can file that with your "Marvin Bush was the head of security at the WTC" stories.

Regardless it still does not make a pipeline magically appear running through Kabul.

I don't know if 911Coverup's comments count as a Strawman or not. This post was about SGT Chavez and his lies. Not about the business connections of politicians.

A lobbyist? You said that he was on the board of directors. Big difference. Regardless it still does not create a pipeline!

I wonder who the drug traffickers are!! Could one of them be...the former lobbyist of unocal and current president of afghanistan???

Uh no.

The farmers growing opium.

They're red herrings.

Is there any conspiracy theory this guy WON'T beleive?

Hey 911, you think we ever landed on the moon?

Yeah, it's true! THE US GOVERNMENT INFORMED OTHER NATIONS
OF ITS PLAN TO INVADE AFGHANISTAN
MONTHS BEFORE THE 9/11 ATTACKS

Hey, if you can't trust former Pakistani diplomats, who can you trust?

Assuming your accurate sources haven't been retracted the story for lack of evidence since then, what exactly does that prove, nesnyc? Are you trying to imply that they only became a legit target after 9/11? I mean, the Taliban were harboring someone on the FBI's ten most wanted list, and were steeped in the heroin trade. I find it comforting to hear that they did have plans on the board to go after them.

And how convenient 911 happened for them to spring into action no? You guys give the phrase "give benefit of the doubt" new meaning!

The US always has plans ready to invade any number of a dozen countries. The war plans are kept on file in case of any crisis wich may require a military intervention.

The Americans had plans back in the 1920s to invade Europe, the paciific rim and even canada. Two of these war plans were put into effect after the US entry into WW2.

That's how the military in the real world works. High ranking officers and civilian experts make guesses at where the next war will be and they make plans to fight those wars in case the need arises.

In Nesnyc world, there are no far-sighted military commanders. No one makes contingency plans of any kind because they'd rather wait until war is declared before they think about how to fight it and send troops and supplies to the battlefront. Because the last thing they want is to upset a hitler hieling neo-fascist piece of shit who sees jews hiding behind every lamppost if they do need to go to war.

Also, the military never runs drills, except on the days they are launching massive covert ops.

My God, is this "Lauro Chavez" an out and out liar. He is a bad liar at that.

How long before he is exposed as a fraud is anyone's guess. But it will happen. Because someone so out of the know, who makes shit up as he goes along, and it is shit that is wholesale lies, cannot stand for long.

But the Left loves him. How apropos.

He hasn't said anything other than SOCOM, which is quite odd considering he was assigned to CENTCOM at the time. Who repaired Tommy Frank's home computer while he was gone?

And I am quite sure that the Special Forces have their own people who know how to operate and maintain radios.

Well you obviously have never played SOCOM before. My fireteam sucks, they can't even clear a room without occasionally throwing the flashbang on the outside of the building. Everyone knows SOCOM needs regular army tech guys to do the "brains" of the work!SHILL!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I mean it's convenient that Osama bin Laden was already on the FBI top ten wanted fugitives list for bombing US Embassies and also organised the bombing of the USS Cole and attempted the same on the USS The Sullivan. Bin Laden's terrorist attacks on American targets would have served the perfect excuse to arrest him...too perfect.

I'd like to be a conspiracy theorist.

Hmmm. I went to Kabul a good half dozen times in 2004 and 2005. North, south east and west sides too. Somehow I missed that pipline.
If that guy thinks he landed in a C-5 at Kabul International 17 days after 9/11, he musyt have been chaptered out for drugs...
