It pisses me off that they continually invoke the "war"

[ncteechur]

We are not, in my opinion, at war. We are in a conflict that the bushies like to call a war because it gives them, they think, carte blanche to do whatever they want to do. In a time of war, Congress declares war. In a time of war, the American people are asked to sacrifice. In a time of war, the country's belt tightens--we don't spen money we don't have to give rich folks tax breaks. In a time of war, we go after the enemy that attacked us, not some diversion called Iraq. No my friends, I don't think we are at war. That is not to say that the young men and women of our armed forces nor the civilian Iraqis are no less important. But this is bush's folly, it is not a war. It is cheney's and his chickenhawk brethren's feeble attempt to exercise some antiquated and neaderthal policy they cooked up in smokey back rooms.

Were we attacked on 9-11? Yes we were. It was a tragedy. 3000 innocent Americans lost their lives. Were the folks who did it wrong? Absolutely. And we should have stayed in Afghanistan and finished the job instead of going into Iraq on this folly. But the reason they want to call it a war is to divert attention from the fact that they, this ignorant, corrupt, and arrogant, administration, screwed the pooch. I believe now and I will always believe that we would have foiled 9-11 if those at the top had listened to those underneath them who told them where the security issues rested. I believe that this adminsitration fell asleep at the wheel. They should have prevented 9-11. They could have prevented 9-11. They simply did not.

1. 9-11 was bought and paid for

by Bushco financiers, that's why they didn't stop it.

2. Bravo!!! And I love calling it "BUSH'S FOLLY' because that is just

what it is! From now on we should ALL refer to the Iraq war as Bush's Folly. Does anyone second that motion?

3. Funny how they just happened to fall asleep at the wheel

before an event that would launch the well documented NeoCon Agenda of "full spectrum dominance"
Amazing how greatly they and their corporate friends benefited from their own so called incompetence.

Funny how there is a Pakistani ISI connection to 911 that no body talks about.

Until we challenge them on 911 and demand a new truly independent investigation, not one headed up
by Condi Rice's buddy, we are doomed to failure. 911 is their excuse for everything.

Wake Up America.
The official story of 911 is a lie.

4. I call it the "Lucky Accident" theory:

All the neocon's dreams came true, as if by magic, through sheer incompetence.
