Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney seemed unmoved by President Bush's insistence Friday that he did not ignore warning signs about the Sept. 11 attacks.
McKinney, who spoke as she tried to escape reporters in DeKalb County, said Congress should launch not one, but at least two investigations.
McKinney, who was widely criticized after insisting in March that Bush ignored warnings of an impending attack, said Friday that all she ever wanted was an investigation.
11Alive's Jon Shirek asked McKinney about critics who called her reprehensible for suggesting that President Bush might have allowed the attacks so his friends in the defense industries could profit from a war.
"Well, you know, I never said that, and it's very important that we understand, I called for an investigation," she responded.
On March 25, McKinney told listeners of KPFA-FM in Berkeley, Calif., that former President Bush might be making money from the defense industry during this war.
McKinney said, "Former President Bush sits on the board of the Carlyle Group. The Los Angeles Times reports that on a single day last month, Carlyle earned $237 billion selling shares...the army's fifth largest contractor."
McKinney asked Friday why Congress should not investigate the former president, his son, and the defense industries.
"And that's an investigation also that could take place along the lines of the Enron investigation," she said.
Denise Majette, a retired state judge seeking to unseat McKinney in Georgia's 4th District, said McKinney succeeds only at making inflammatory statements she can't back up to get attention and votes.
"Trying to divert attention from the real issues. The fact that she's been a totally ineffective legislator in the ten years that she's been in Congress," said Majette.
McKinney says only that she is gratified that so many others, including Majette, have joined her in calling for an investigation of what the president knew before the attacks.
Kinda reminds me of Major Owen's rants that 20 million blacks were thrown overboard during the slave trade.

I believe many of the Democrats have fed off the website that has some rather tinfoil stuff.
Here is the closing of an article on 9/11 and what did Bush know and when did he know it!

HERE IS THE BURNING QUESTION:
Given the Secret Service's obligation to protect the President;
Given the Secret Service's open line to the FAA and therefore its knowledge that a plane had been hijacked and subsequently ploughed into the World Trade Center;
Given the potentially deadly threat to President Bush if he proceeded to a public place, on schedule, as announced the day before and known to everyone in the region;
There is only one explanation for the Secret Service allowing President Bush to take the deadly risk of going to the Booker School on the morning of September 11th.
George Walker Bush knew the plans for 9-11. And because he knew those plans, he knew that nobody was going to attack the Booker School.
***Full article here:
The GOP needs to air sound bites of this nin-com-poop right before elections All over the country We will win throughout the country! He!He!
The same reason they won't bother to "shut up":
Sheila Jackson-Lee
Maxine The Mouth Waters
Barney Frank
etc....
They view them as useful idiot tools to advance the agenda.
11Alive's Jon Shirek asked McKinney about critics who called her reprehensible for suggesting that President Bush might have allowed the attacks so his friends in the defense industries could profit from a war.Bring it on, Babe!"Well, you know, I never said that, and it's very important that we understand, I called for an investigation," she responded.................

I had seen some comments about it on the net but hadn't heard it for myself.
I thought nothing would shock me but that chilled me to my heart.
That was your post #8. See my post #71.........
As an Enron Scandal Paint cartoon, I assume?......
Another FReeper saw my post of the Enron Scandal Paint and changed it to a 911 Scandal Paint for me!
