I am realizing, I think, that we have been under terrorist attack for some 8 years now. And they have made some big scores:

WTC (1st time), OKC, TWA-800, possibly Egyptair....

and now, under a real administration with real leadership, it has happened again. Methinks dubya is going to pronounce the truth to the American people....and then get on with the business of WW111.

If that's the case and we have been under attack for 8 years, then the press kept it silent at Slick's request. Otherwise, whoever has been attacking us would have claimed responsibility sooner or later. I need to go buy some more tin foil.

There is some thought that Egyptair 900 out of New York was a 'training run' per say and the pilot by himself did not have the skill nor training to do the deed of crashing the vessel into the Capitol, White House etc. and just flew it into the ocean.

This begat the teams of terrorists with only the one true believer/ trained pilot like Mohammad Atta who knew they were going to die, and the other 4 hijackers on the team were none the wiser before it was too late to do anything.

Young men going to die don't smile into airport security cameras in Portland-only Atta had the grim face telling he knew what he was about to do.

Actually, from where I sit, this goes back to the Gulf War

It was about controlling the world's suplly of oil then,
and it's about controlling the world's supply of oil now.

Operation Desert Storm never ended, what we've seem since have been acts of war, nothing less.

Why have we been lied to? Why has this been kept from us?

Might it have been the unfortunate surprise upset victory by Bill Clinton in 1992 and his re-election in 1996. Could it be that the Bush family has wanted to control the world's oil, was about to do just that (in '92) but has had to wait until now??????

I'm weirding myself out?????
