Two years, still no answers (Bush exploiting 9/11)
Edited on Tue Sep-09-03 09:24 AM by onehandle
Exploiting 2001's tragedy rather than accounting for it

Sunday night, President Bush went before the nation to announce that even though the U.S. occupation of Iraq is going wonderfully, with its conversion to a modern western democracy right on schedule, it'll cost a lot more than we expected, and it'll take a long time. Some $87 billion more, in fact, and as for the time, well, it'll be a long road. Don't ask so many questions.

It'll be a much shorter road, of course, if Bush and the thick-headed ideologues surrounding him are out of jobs come next November. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

One of the reasons Bush and his cabal have mostly continued to enjoy a bizarre exemption from accountability is their unparalleled ability to bury bad news. Bill Clinton was a master at this, and early in Dubya's career on the national stage, in his "compassionate conservative" days, George tried the Slick Willie approach: if we really think our Fearless Leader cares, we're less likely to notice that we're getting screwed.

1. Also,
They're covering up the most important information, for example how Osama pledged to attack the US if the Chimp 'n' Thief was elected, how they had warnings of possible use of airplanes as weapons, how they were given the names of terrorists and did nothing about it, how they ignored FBI agent warnings, how Ashcroft was so busy reading his bible he didn't do his job, how they wisked certain Arabs out of the country right after the attack to appease the Saudi family friends of Bush, etc. etc. etc.
