I'm just a poster here.
So, flaglady, do you think Ann's comments suggesting the deceased husbands may have wanted to leave their wives and children helped? Obviously, you must. I'd like to hear why.
Quotes
* "Kristen Breitweiser told Phil Donahue: 'It was clear that we were under attack. Why didn't the Secret Service whisk [Bush] out of that school? ... [H]e is the commander-in-chief of the United States of America, our country was clearly under attack, it was after the second building was hit. I want to know why he sat there for 25 minutes.'" [5] (http://homepage.tinet.ie/~gulufuture/future/breitweiser.htm)
* "It is understandable that so little time is actually devoted to the president's true actions on the morning of 9/11. Because to show the entire 23 minutes from 9:03 to 9:25 a.m., when President Bush, in reality, remained seated and listening to 'second grade story-hour' while people like my husband were burning alive inside the World Trade Center towers, would run counter to Karl Rove's art direction and grand vision." --Kristen Breitweiser's Salon review of Showtime's film "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis" (9/8/2003). [6] (http://www.salon.com/ent/tv/feature/2003/09/08/dc911/index_np.html)
* On May 16, 2002, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile." [7] (http://www.axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/article_4050.shtml)
* To which Kristen Breitweiser responds:
"How is it possible we have a national security advisor coming out and saying we had no idea they could use planes as weapons when we had FBI records from 1991 stating that this is a possibility?" [8]
By making controversial statements Ann has brought this whole subject to the forefront all over the country. Hence this thread and others. Everyone is talking about it, and believe me, a whole bunch of those people are saying go for it Ann, tell it like it is. Those "widows" have been at their political game for 5 years now. How long do you get to claim weeping widow status for what you do as your life's work? And it appears these 4 have parlayed their husbands' deaths into careers for themselves.
Fine to choose careers, but not to attack the Prez and Pubs at every term and be raving liberals while hiding behind their widow victim status. The vast majority of widows from 9/11 have not acted in the manner that these 4 have. Now they too are subject to attack for their behavior, thanks to Ann opening up this topic for all to view. All's fair in love, war, and politics. If these 4's husbands knew what their spouses have done by using their deaths to their own financial and political advantage, they might very well have divorced their wives. Doubt if they would be happy with their harpies now.
