Who thinks a manufactured disaster on 9/11 is a possibility?

[valerief]

Something * can respond to effectively. Money, damage, and casualties are no object.

[eallen]

1. Al Qaeda still there. It wouldn't surprise if they have something planned.

If you mean that our government would do that, then I suggest adjusting your tinfoil hat.

[valerief]

2. You don't think they're capable of a MIHOP as a diversion?

[eallen]

7. Maybe the Mossad did it. And maybe Kerry was in on the conspiracy.

[AntiCoup2K4]

23. I'm not sure where Kerry would fit in. But Mossad is very likely.

They have the technology to pull off such an operation. They have ties to the Likud operatives in PNAC, as well as former Israeli commando (and possible Mossad agent himself) Frank Lowy who just happenned to purchase the World Trade Center mere weeks before the attacks.

The key to any conspiracy is "who benefits?"

And who has benefitted more from the PNAC agenda than the Likud right wing extemists, who now have US taxpayers footing the bill, and US soldiers filling the deserts of every country they have a problem with.

All just coincidences, of course.

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. and I suggest you adjust your blindfold.

The case isn't proven yet, by any means, but it's looking far more likely than some fucking fable about 19 camel jockeys with box cutters led (via carrier pigeon communication) by a cave dwelling kidney dialysis patient.

[leanin_green]

3. Maybe not on 9/11 exactly, but . . .

the cabal is desparately sinking fast and needs some new emergency that they can control to help with sagging numbers. So, yeah, I wouldn't be suprised by such an event. . .that just how cynical I've become.

[flakey_foont]

4. I would not put anything past those folks

[magnolia]

5. I don't know why you continue...

...to believe that a terrorist attack is going to work in Bush's favor! Hasn't Katrina at least debunked that idea!

The reaction to 9/11 wasn't about Bush's great leadership. It was a country in a state of shock. 9/11 DID change us. Since then we've seen too much death and too much killing and nothing shocks us anymore. We will never recapture the moment of 9/11.

The only reason this disaster hasn't totally sunk Bush is because we can't actually blame him for the hurricane itself. If it were a terrorist attack we WOULD blame him. A terrorist attack would be instant death for the Bush administration.

[valerief]

6. If he manufactures the disaster, he can control the response

And he'll be a superhero again!

I don't think it will be as massive a disaster as Katrina, of course, just something to "show his mettle."

[magnolia]

9. So Bush has said repeatedly...

...that we are fighting the terrorists in Iraq so we don't have to fight them here. His base believes that. So you think if there was an attack here, all he has to do is be quick and efficient about scrapping dead bodies off the street and everybody will hail him a hero! Even freepers aren't that stupid!

[doublethink]

8. Picture this ....

Whata ya think of this .... the 'spin' could be that these 'terr-a-rists' hit us 'why we were down' and therefore mis-direct all this anger everyone currently has for the administration back on the 'terr-a-rists' ... Nothing worse than hitting someone why they are down, weak, vulnerable, these 'terr-a-rests' ... have no heart, shame, compassion, do not value human life as we do (split screen Bush speaking/hurricane images ... and images of the new terror incident)........ signed, Karl Rove.

on edit: and this terror incident doesn't even have to hit us here 'on our soil' therefore he can keep up the 'fight um over there so we don't have to fight um here' thingy ..... ? :shrug: your guess is as good as mine. Peace.

[magnolia]

13. You give him way too much credit!

His "spin" is spinning out! They've spun the war every which way and are still losing points. Cindy Sheehan has had more effect on public opinion recently then they have. We are now in a full blown disaster that he doesn't need to take any responsibility for and his spin hasn't even gotten him 50% approval. Take heart in the fact that his spin is just a pathetic twirl.

[doublethink]

16. I hope your right and my scenario is wrong.

:) Just hope there are enough sane people in our Country through all of this that have decided to check into 'kool-aide anonymous' and purge themselves of the B.S. .... Peace.

[katinmn]

12. work in his favor??!!?? He's hatching another one!

Why do you think OBL is still out there?

I think OBL is about to be called into service again.

[zann725]

10. Nah. We've already had the "manufactured" disaster with Katrina response

This will keep all the other investigations in Shrubco crimes in the side-lines for some time.

Plus no doubt "some" the "cash" flowing in to "aid" the victims will somehow find its way into Shrubco "coffers." Pickles and Shrub went to "visit" Red Cross just yesterday, to express their gratitude.

[katinmn]

11. Both hands raised

I'm glad 9/11 falls on a weekend so I will be home with my kid.

It's gonna be a long 24 hours. I hope I'm wrong....

[magnolia]

14. If Bush were to....

....instigate another terror attack, it wouldn't be to raise his popularity. It would be to destroy the economy and the country. If there's another attack, there's one thing we could be sure of and that's that Bush doesn't care what we think of him. He would be waging war and we would be the enemy.

On edit...time to think "happy thoughts".

[leesa]

15. I think they had planned something for the fall, but I think Katrina put a

wrench in their plans. They manufactured the first 9-11, why not the 2nd? They need something to happen or we cannot invade Iran and we will have no oil supplies and no economy.

[applegrove]

17. Not me. And I don't think we are supposed to keep spreading denial.

Bush WH just used 9/11 as an opportunity to put alot of "fear" in the bank. That way you get compliant people.

18. Have you visited DU's Sept 11th Forum?

19. Hey Corruption Knows NO BOUNDS!!!

[windbreeze]

20. It's like this....

I recently stored water by the gallon,
food by the can, bag, whatever
have batteries, flashlights
plastic sheeting, duct tape
a rudimentary toilet system figured out..
going to be making candles with tuna-cat food cans filled with cardboard/wax
baby wipes/anti-bacterial wipes
tin foil for cooking in and paper/plastic utensils
can opener/and scissors
a first aid kit I could do surgery with
ponchos/sleeping bags/tent...and have instructed my husband to keep his rig full of gas at all times...along with mine...

now what do you think I think? That we don't understand this bunch yet, and we still aren't giving them enough credit..even after Katrina...and anyone who thinks * cares is delusional...it would be the perfect time...and don't we know those "terrorists" just love celebrating anniversaries?

21. A possibility? Sure.

I'd even say a probability.

24. I think the Democrats have figured this out

They're being quiet, BUT THEIR NOT STUPID.


I know everyone should think ahead and think like a criminal so you can stay one step ahead of them. Thanks for giving this topic buzz.

[NiteOwll]

25. No doubt...

It was probably already in the works before the hurricane.

26. An Act of God may have spared America an event on this 9/11

Bush may bave been planning one but his incompetence in the NO situation should make him beware disasters he can't handle. I was expecting Bush to be planning one. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he has put his plans on hold.

29. The Hand That Feeds

The Hand That Feeds -NIN





You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine



Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on



Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees? <8X>
