Go to Finally!! The 9/11 Lies Exposed!

If Bush Did Know...
It would be the only thing he did. Far more likely, advance warning was stopped from reaching him. The idea of Plausible Denial is not new and there is no reason to think it isn't used anymore. In fact, Bush seems to be the most uninformed President ever.
Imagine Bush was properly warned, in detail, about 9/11. He would then be obliged to have the planes shot down as soon as the expected hijack occurred. Orders would be in place. One of those 'tough executive decisions' he seems to like so much.
And then he'd have to explain to an outraged American public that those planes were all going to be used as missiles, honest. A mass suicide attack - the first of its kind. Can you imagine? Four airliners shot down by the President? Now here's the thing: Bush does have a powerful (though warped) sense of right and wrong. I think he would have actually given that order and risked his career to do the Right Thing.
Or maybe at some point along the line, somebody reasoned that if hundreds, even thousands of Americans were going to die, it would be better if it wasn't by the President's hand. In fact, such an attack might be a good thing in the long run. Nice little military fundraiser. A chance to turn a corporate crook into a war leader. An opportunity to get that dusty Patriot Act out again...
No, they didn't tell him.

Read this blog because my husband is a Fed...
and he has been telling me for the past 20 years that the system is a self-perpetuating inertia and has naught to do with justice. There is so much competition amongst the different federal law enforcement agencies that they will intentionally withhold information and leads so that their agency can break the case. The FBI are the worst. They want jurisdiction over everything. The only time they stand back is when the job gets dangerous--then they give it to the Marshal's Service or DEA. FBI doesn't like to bleed; they are primarily voyeurs, techno-geeks with their little spying apparatus. Yet, whenever there is a high profile case that some grunt actually sweat for, it's the FBI we hear about.

Well, Yes and...
...no, Gomey.
I can see the idea that the system had it's faults, and this event revealed them. but somehow, I don't quite buy it. Because there were SO MANY systems that failed simultaneously that day, and for me it takes a huge stretch to believe that that is likely without a guiding hand somewhere.
And some of the systemic failures do seem oddly manufactured. For example, there wasa standing order at Andrews Airforce Base that if any plane goes off course for no reason (and especially if it starts heading for NY or DC) the jets are scrambled within minutes. This order stood for over twenty years.
And you've got to ask yourself - why did Donald Rumsfeld revoke this order? And why did he choose July 2001 to do it. THAT's the sort of systemic failure that makes me suspicious. Even standing alone, thios would make me suspicious. Coming, as it does, amongst a welter of similar failures, I just can't buy the "Oops, we gscrewed up - sorry" school of thought.

This is it Damonleigh ?--- this is really the conclusion you draw from
the positions being put forth in your first postings on the subject ? It's funny how this is what I have been saying all along. If you throw out Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed's suggestion that the incompetence or built in weaknesses of the system somehow translate into the facilitaion of the act in his use of the term " enable " I can wholeheartedly agree with everything else. The system let the American people down and the human faults of the people working within that system. The tragedy lies in the fact it took a horrific act like this to expose those weaknesses That is what the system and it's administrators must be held accountable for. Not bogeymen and manufactured conspiracy theories.

That's part of the idea, Damon..
I'm planning on using only main stream media - even Fox News has a couple of questioning articles - for my sources so the right wingers can't easily refute it.

Cheers, Max. Actually...
...that No Child bill came up in my 'Making Free Marketeers Angry' blog a few weeks back. Touched a few raw nerves, if I remember rightly.
And you're right - no one really deserves Bush. But all residual sympathy evaporates if that lunatic clown gets in again. Once I can forgive. Twice would just be ridiculous.

The whole world needs to know the truth, but Americans need to know it the most since they're the ones with the vote. I heard someone say that 'people get the government they deserve.' This meant that if you don't research who you're voting for, you'll end up with what you don't want. But, saying this, it's still not fair. NO ONE deserves The Bush Admin's policies. It's like saying I deserve to be in a car crash for driving in a snowstorm.
These nice bills like "No Child Left Behind" (which is just a nice name for a bad bill) are just a front. The Admin knows (or hopes) that no one actually reads into it and just votes for the flowery sounding bill.
I think I could go on forever, but I'll stop.

Thanks...
...katray! This definitely will stay up. And I was thinking of extending it further by disecting some of the Comments I've been left so far.
Might be fun.
Thanks for stopping by. Will we get the benefit of your research at some point?

Glad to see you're back Damon
and still writing this. It seems to have ruffled a few feathers here, to the point of insulting rudeness, but I say too bad. As an American, I feel we have a right to the complete truth. The whole world does, but as you say, they're our monsters...Bush and co. Perhaps it wasn't a conspiracy, yet a failure of this magnitude for whatever reason justify's head rolling at the highest levels. Too much evidence exists to prove people in power knew something very similar to what happened was heading down the pike. I've been researching that aspect intensely lately. Unbelievable. I hope you will be leaving this blog up. I want to go back over it again. Again, welcome back!
