5. Not likely
This is about as vague as anyone can unreasonably be expected to be.

9. McClellan(?) the press secretary is busy covering his boss's
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 01:54 PM by absyntheNsugar
arse on the Clarke accusations. He's accusing him of being a Kerry operative, but the CNN ticker keeps putting out the message that McClellan worked in anti-terrorism under Reagan, Bush I and Clinton (as well as Bush*).

They're in full scale denial, but the reporters aren't buying it. McClellan keeps trying to tie 9/11 to Iraq btw...will these idiots never learn?

Sorry...the excitement has me giddy...

11. I know you're excited but, when you write this,
CNN ticker keeps putting out the message that McClellan worked in anti-terrorism under Reagan, Bush I and Clinton (as well as Bush*).

by McClellan don't you mean Richard Clarke?

27. Pardon the intrusion, but yes the correct answer would be Clarke
..as he made a point of saying on 60 minutes that he worked for Reagan, Poppy and Clinton, even before Junior stole the White House.

4. It should be
The Rethuglicans like to say we're Bush-haters, but why did we get that way? Of course we are, just like we'd hate anyone who tries to turn the US into a fascist empire state. Duh!

Well shit you could have surprised us.

Edit: They just sit there and wrap themselves in more and more lies. Move-On needs to put an infomercial together with just them contradicting themselves.

17. Bullshit. Ashcroft and Bush gutted intelligence funds to FBI
Savings in the WOT were what was ready to go on September 4th.
They were more interested in prosecuting (persecuting) abortion clinics and the like.

12. And the GOP is camping in NYC for their pre-9/11 convention! HA HA HA!
Now they'll need four times as much 'non-lethal' weaponry when the entire country comes at them with pitchforks and torches.

What a stunning set-up for an outraged public. Rather like parking US GIs in a Muslim country.

13. I've known that since afternoon of 9/11
Something was clearly F-ed up in the White House response in the morning of 9/11. The White House has spent an enormous amount of political capital creating cover stories, and covering up what the White House did, and when it did it on 9/11.

The WSJ is reporting the military did not go on alert until a significant amount of time after the Perntagon attack. That is clearly grounds for impeachment. The Pentagon attack could have been stopped if DEFCON was raised immediately following the second WTC strike.

19. Radar on top of the Pentagon
I am watching this 911 press conference thing by citizenswatch
or whoever on cspan) currently.
Earlier a guy by the name of "John Judge" (I think that is the correct name, he is an independant researcher and the head of the citizenswatch group) ANYWAY Judge claims...that in the late 90's radar units of some sort were installed on the top of the Pentagon... specifically because they were warned we could be attacked by air and that the Pentagon could be a target!
There was an exercise at the Pentagon regarding this very thing
(a plane being used as a bomb) Democrats.com found the exercise mentioned ON the Pentagon's own site (last year sometime I think?)
I am sure if you search there the article is archived...
After Democrats.com ran the photo from the Pentagon site about the exercise, the Pentagon of course changed it's own site.
In any event if there was radar capability on top of the Pentagon that proves something was up.
I have thought since the morning of 911 that there was no way we could be hit like that without the Government either having foreknowledge or being complicit...the odds of all this going wrong for the US and right for the attackers on one given day were (and are) astronomical in my opinion.

23. Contingency planning Pentagon MASCAL exercise simulates scenarios..
in preparing for emergencies

Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 2000 — The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas.

Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one.

20. The smoking gun................
Pentagon being attacked 52 minutes AFTER the 2nd plane (175) hits the WTC.

Gross incompetence...or let it happen or purpose. Myers hung out for 2 hours on 9/11 during the attack in Max Cleland's office. He was in command that day...why was he rewarded with JCS a few days later? And did he ever "get back" to the confirmation panel on all those questions they had? I somehow doubt it.

15. Yep, and watching Condi earlier sqirm like a ......
worm in hot ash was a particular thing of beauty to watch. She was talking a mile a minute, stuttering, stammering and had a look in her eyes that made her appear like a wild animal caught in a trap.
