Morning of 9/11

Me

[mikegi]

I'm a professional lip reader and, if you watch the tape very closely, you'll see Bush say to Card:

"Good! Operation Crusader is finally underway. Tell my energy buddies that their claim to the oil and gas pipeline routes in Central Asia will be closed in two months. I expect payment promptly. Also, do absolutely nothing until that fourth plane hits the White House. Laura has been getting on my nerves lately and it cost me big bucks to get the Mossad to add another hijacking team. One last thing, double up on the AA and UA shorts ... use my Cayman account."

Nexus, I think you're onto something here. Until I read your post, I really thought nothing of Bush's strange behavior and words. Keep digging and report back!

Bump to the top, dear Freeper.

I'm not Bush's biggest fan, but he's a good man and I do believe that everyone was surprised by the attacks, even the Clintons. Who would have thought only two years ago that this would have happened?

If anyone had thought this specific kind of attack possible, there would have been "tin foil" threads about it on the internet.

It was a well-kept secret by Al-Qaeda. We can expect all kinds of post-occurrance conspiracy theories about this event for years to come, but it's pretty obvious in this case that it was indeed a surprise attack.

Funny, Mr. #76867, but I don't trust anyone under 30(thousand that is).

While I was looking for that timeline, I looked at some of the pages again and that awful feeling came over me again; it's so sad, but mainly I was upset with myself because I had FORGOTTEN how horrible it was -- and I cannot ever forget that feeling!

All this nitpicking over why Bush said in a chair longer that some dolt thought he should takes away from all those people who lost their lives that day, IMO. It demeans the whole story.

I am embarrassed to have participated in the lamest thread of the week.

Not really...
It was fun to let somebody press us for explanations that even the densest person
(even with an I.Q. low enough that they could murder and not get justice) would
still be able to wrap their pointy little heads around.

Plus, we've had some lurkers and posters from outside our borders who have gotten
to hear something different than what they pick up on CNN or their own local outlets.

Besides, this is just a warm-up.
DU-types are now calling talk shows (I think it was Michael Medved yesterday) and
claiming that Dubya is still under investigation by some Federal agency for
financial impropriety.

It's just gonna' get worse leading up to the second week in November.
We've got to be ready with the snappy answers to planted questions in order to carry the day.

And just ask them try to regurgitate the FULL text of The Pledge of Allegiance
without having a gag reflex or a brainlock.

but they are his SUBORDINATES, and there was an ongoing CRISIS. If they would have screwed something up while he was sitting out there, it would have been his ass...

Speaking as someone that has subordinates, the last thing one does is to immediately step into a crisis that started before you got to the dance. A rule I learned many years ago is if you have good people working for you, let them do their job.

I think the time line shows a man that had confidence in his people.

I see you've rounded up all the usual suspects. They sound like Clinton defenders, but don't worry they're all "conservative republicans".
I'll never understand how people who are supposedly "clear-headed thinkers" can not apply their own scrutiny to all "birth to death tax-paid blood sucking ruling elite" regardless of their "party".
Reform the CIA, FBI, NSA. What a pile of crap.
As soon as somebody questions anything they are automatically denounced, discredited, demoralized and branded a "disruppppptorrrrr".
They're all fiddle players.
Question everything
It's the mark of a of a true free-thinking human being.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks

I noticed they "outed" me and encouraged DUhs to email me. Can't wait.

The idiots on DU are more interested in protecting religious fanatics' rights to opress
women and minorities in Islamic countries than to combat our self-proclaimed enemies.
I find that to be an interesting flip-flop. Don't you?

Democratic outlook:

Guys running around in bedsheet hoods in the USA: BAD!!! (and I agree)

Gays running around in the West Bank with table-top covers for hoods preparing to
blow up women and babies: GOOD!!!


As I told one of my better-tempered liberal colleagues:
The National Organization of Women should give their "Person of The Year"
award collectively to Dubya and the US Military. They liberated more women in four
months in Afghanistan than the NOW did in forty years."

I was painting my house (outside) on 9/11 when I heard the report of the first plane striking the WTC.

Well, I was in the shower when I found out (no, I'm not kidding). My roommate came up and and pounded on the door, screaming of the situation. I remember yelling back something about terrorists and how the WTC would not fall to such an attack. I was out of shower quicker than if someone had flushed the toilet .
