We're two days away from September 11, right?

[zanne]

So where's the hoopla? Every year since 2001, the buildup to the "special programming" for the 9/11 anniversary is enormous. This year, it's as though everybody wants to just forget it. Could it be that people will compare the response to 9/11 with the response to Katrina? Will 9/11 come and go very quietly this year? I think it's curious. What do you think?

1. No one wants comparisons!

2. I think Bush is headed to the disaster area on 9/11 to make sure it's news

3. There was supposed to be a Pentagon-sponsored ghoul-a-palooza. Not

sure if that is still on or what.

4. It's coming, you can count on!

It is just the diversion BushCo needs. They'll put together some hastily arranged memorial in an attempt to switch attention from the man-made disaster that is BushCo.

8. Van Auken, Breitweiser said

"The right fix is to fire the person who led to 3,000 people dying by making
bad calls," Van Auken said. "That is the right fix. We have the wrong fixes
in place."

"We fought for the commission so we could have a full accounting of how
the attacks could have happened and why they weren't prevented,"
Breitweiser said. "This goes to show that all of our efforts and energies
trying to make the nation safer by having the independent commission give
a full accounting to the American people were futile."

"There are no words to describe our disappointment in our personal
sacrifice getting that commission up and running and in the promises that
were made to us that we would have the real 9/11 story told," Van Auken
said. "None of that has come to pass and that is very sad."

9. There'll be Hoopla

There will be hoopla. Bush will make a speech saying how hard they are all working. He will say that the response to Katrina was not all it could have been, but that's because the "most important" thing was taken care of, no terrorist strikes on the US soil since 9-11.

Of course it is all bunkum because the former agencies including FEMA have been gutted and stuffed with cronies.

We all know that they were just as unprepared for terrorists breeching the levees but they would have moved faster because of the propaganda potential. Alternatively, if it had been an election year, they would have been just as unprepared, but would have moved faster for the same propaganda reasons.
