If Bush and his boys got away with this:



Retaliating against any media outlet that didn't go along would have been a cinch.

Fox News would have labeled it a "Muslim attack," Mrs. and Mrs. John Q. Public would have nodded along, end of story.

the ones on the ground are all gone. And for the most part,so are their real story accounts,and the Mouth Pieces of the Bush/Cheney era would never reveal the truth fearing Treason and War Crime trials.

Why weren't Bush and Cheney questioned separately and under oath?

Did you notice Condi's body language when she was questioned? She was completely different than when questioned earlier. She appeared to be very afraid and on the defensive.

It is a travesty that these criminals have gotten away with this.

This is the reason they stole the 2000 election. They had this entire 9/11 operation already in long term planning, including the Iraq War response, long before Bush took office. In that way it is similar to earlier criminal right wing actions like Iran—Contra.

You also might have noticed that since 9/11 the media has appeared to have mostly abandoned investigative journalism. The independence of the US media has been deeply compromised.

Surely millions of us recognize that 9/11 has never been thoroughly and objectively investigated.

when she and other members of the Bush Administration were complicit--by neglect at least--in the 9/11 attacks, and seeing how Hillary Clinton was treated in that Benghazi hearing this week, is there any doubt that the Repubs are just a bunch of savage wild animals who don't give a rip about running this country right as much as they're just sociopaths going after more power for its own sake?

There is a famous picture of congolissa rice walking past an anti aircraft battery in milan italy in august 2001 to shoot down any plane trying to crash into the building she was holding a meeting in. Who could imagine?

The story of how building 7 came down started me thinking differently about 9/11. This video spells out the inconsistencies pretty clearly. Explanation of building 7 starts at 12:00.

If you would post this on its own thread someday it would be trashed and locked very quickly by some people on this site who do not even want to have a democratic discussion about it.

and were willing to let it occur so they could get into the wars they wanted. I imagine they were probably expecting something less catastrophic than what Osama dreamed up. It just seems like they let them walk in for the touchdown not realizing the trade centers would come down and I think Bush was a little taken back that the attack turned out as big as it did. But it would not surprise me at all if they wanted to allow some kind of attack so they could ramp up the Military Industrial Complex and start taking over countries in the Middle East. The Clinton Administration had stopped a crap load of attacks before 9/11 because they were really making an attempt to do something. Yes, I think Cheney convinced Bush he would be popular as a war time president and all they needed to do was let Osama get one strike at us.

Here were some Clinton stopped:

Just for the record, under Richard Clarke's leadership as Czar of Counterterrorism:.

· CLINTON developed the nation's first anti-terrorism policy,
and appointed first national coordinator of anti-terrorist efforts.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold the Al Qaeda millennium hijacking and bombing plots.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to kill the Pope.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners simultaneously.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up UN Headquarters.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up FBI Headquarters.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up the Israeli Embassy in Washington.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up Boston airport.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up Lincoln and Holland Tunnels in NY.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up the George Washington Bridge.

· Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up the US Embassy in Albania.
