no matter how you look at it big questions present themselves
Nine-eleven should have resulted in an investigation by bush. The Kean Commission wasn’t apolitical and didn’t investigate in-depth. They focused on alleged intelligence failures we were told had occurred. George refused to testify under oath to the 9/11 commission while insisting on having Darth Cheney beside him. The person in charge of witnesses and final editing was a bush insider.
If you believe the official fairy tale, incompetence alone should have warranted a complete removal of an administration that didn’t heed warnings, or follow existing procedures. Condoleezza told us the possibility of planes being used as weapons wasn’t ever considered but that was the idea of war games being held, by Cheney, on nine-eleven.
If you believe the warnings by nations regarding the attacks then Bush should have been fired. It’s possible that these warnings were insiders blowing the whistle on rogues operating from inside as well. If terrorists were expert enough to pull this off, they wouldn’t have been discovered and there would have been no red flags raised by more than a dozen foreign nations.
The most laughable argument ever is the one where they are glad W was in office on nine-eleven. They would have felt the same with any “strong man” to lean on. There wouldn’t have been attacks had someone else been in office. Bush’s supporters wrote about needing a new Pearl Harbor. Bush transferred the responsibility of protecting us from wayward aircraft from military men to political civilians like Rumsfeld; one of the New Pearl Harbor supporters.
If you believe the official story then you have to admit the incompetence and negligence of the Bush administration and you must support impeachment. If you examine the evidence, you must support criminal proceedings.
No matter what you believe about who was responsible for 9/11, and how it went down, amazing how much political capital those events have produced for this administration: A consensus on torture; an era of permanent war; detentions without trial; “no fly” lists for activists; the Bill of Rights gone, and a “professional media” willing to self-censor and suppress important information. The “America Attacked” story has distracted us from the natural outrage we should feel over illegal wiretaps, stolen elections, hundreds of billions of dollars missing at the Pentagon, war profiteering, Cheney's secret energy policy. A Zogby poll shows that over 40 percent of Americans now think there has been a “cover-up” around 9/11.
