WHY?
From the weblog of the man who created "Watson", Dan Wood. Might be helpful to those who have not yet made up their minds.

Why, indeed, do people still believe him!

http://weblog.karelia.com/General/Why.html

This is something I wrote after hearing Donna Marcus, the mother of a woman who died in the 9/11 attacks, on the radio. If you disagree with what I write, perhaps you at least will understand why a person like me, with so many unanswered questions, cannot support 4 more years of our country's current President.

Why?

Why did our president ignore Osama Bin Laden, whom his predecessor had been pursuing?
Why did he ignore the briefing called "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US"?
Why did he go into a classroom to read "My Pet Goat" after he had been told the first tower had been hit?
Why didn't they bring down the other planes after the first one hit?
Why did he just sit there for seven more minutes after he was told of the second plane?
Why didn't any staffers prod him to get up and act?
Why do they say that we are safer when they clearly let this tragedy happen?
Why do people believe him?


Why were they planning on invading Iraq long before 9/11?
Why did they switch their focus from Afghanistan to Iraq?
Why did they outsource the job of finding Bin Laden to Afghani Warlords instead of doing it ourselves?
Why did they use evidence they knew to be false to justify invading Iraq?
Why did they allow torture to occur in prisons?
Why did they allow 377 tons of munitions to be carted away by the terrorists under our noses?
Why do they say the world is safer, when there are more terrorists now than ever before?
Why do people believe him?


Why has the economy gone downhill for four years in a row?
Why have no new jobs been created?
Why is his job record the worst since Herbert Hoover?
Why do they insist things are looking up when so many of us are out of work?
Why do people believe him?

1. >>Why do people believe him?
Because they are afraid.... they are not acting like true, brave, Americans. Someone has used 911 to shape their response to just about everything, including their ability to see past their own shores and look at what is really going down. People on other continents are not having this problem, fortunately.

Cheney’s at it again. The president’s bully has been out in America’s heartland trying to scare the bejesus out of us. A lot of the Republican faithful are shivering and grinding their teeth, because if Cheney says it, it must be true.
