9/11's Dark
Window to the Future
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
As the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks
unfolds, it has come to look less like a sad remembrance
of the past and more like a troubling glimpse
into the future, a window to a new-age totalitarianism
that looms before the United States, where a
powerful right-wing government tells lies aided and
abetted by friendly media corporations.
So, even as the CIA and the Senate Intelligence
Committee finally acknowledge some of the many
Iraq War falsehoods told by George W. Bush and
his senior advisers, Bush's misfeasance and
malfeasance are obscured by Disney's ABC-TV "docu-drama"
pinning most of the blame for
the 9/11 catastrophe not on Bush, but on Democrats.
With Disney's selection of a right-wing director
and with the secrecy that surrounded the project -
that gave Democrats little time to react - "The
Path to 9/11" also had the sickening feel of a
collaboration between a giant corporation and
the Republican government in power.
So, less than two months before a pivotal national
election, with Americans increasingly wondering
how the nation got into the mess it faces today,
this joint project of Disney and pro-Bush operatives
provides a narrative that focuses not on Bush
blowing off CIA warnings of an impending attacks in
2001 but on events dating back to 1993.
Reminder:
When the aide pressed Bush to get involved in
the PDB that said,
"Osama determined to strike in US,"
he stood there waiting for an answer until Bush finally told him,
"You've covered your ass, you can go now."
That's as involved as Bush or Cheney got until the towers fell,
but Disney's bogus movie claims they were all over it.

Bush hijacks
9/11 to argue for quagmire
Hell, that ain't news - he's been telling that lie for years
Excerpt:
Der Monkey trotted out the same old lies by invoking
the memory of the Sept. 11 victims
to argue for his never-ending bloody quagmire
in unwinnable Iraq before a skeptical public,
drawing protests from sane people who say he
has politicized a national day of mourning.
"The safety of America depends on you supporting my oil theft in Iraq," he lied.
"Saddam caused 9-11!"
In a prime-time handjob broadcast on Monday's
anniversary of the day he went to sleep,
the liar described a brutal enemy, ten feet tall
and invincible except when we're led by him,
still determined to kill Americans, perhaps with
WMDs instead of Willie Horton.
"If we do not defeat them now, we will leave our
children to face my screw-up," Bush said.
"We are in a war that is poutting $400M a day
in my pocket, so let's roll."

The Strategy of Chaos
Excerpt:
The bloody results of [Bush's] policy are evident
in the fast-crumbling Afghan state, where the resurgent
Taliban has essentially recaptured whole provinces
and warlords reap the profits of record-breaking
opium crops. The fighters freed up by Musharraf's
truces are now killing Americans, Canadian, Brits and
scores of Afghans. Afghanistan's President Karzai
is incensed at the agreements, while the new head of
the British army, Sir Richard Dannat, says UK
forces are "barely" coping with the unexpected level of
combat. But they can do nothing, because Bush
has decided it is in its interests to back Musharraf's
domestic political moves - even if this costs
American and allied lives. And so the chaos in Afghanistan
keeps growing. Pakistani officials now say
that if Osama he is found he will not be arrested,
as long as "he is being like a peaceful citizen,"
Major General Khan told ABC News.
Meanwhile, in Iraq, the assassination of a top
aide to Ayatollah al-Sistani, led to Sistani's alarming
admission: "I no longer have the power to save
Iraq from civil war." Sistani, a relative moderate,
said he was disappointed in the Bush-backed
government for its weakness and corruption.
Amnesty for bin Laden - from Bush's allies in Pakistan.
Was that the plan all along, George?
To let Osama go under circumstances where you could say, "I had no choice?"

Iraq and 9/11: The Truth Is Out
Excerpt:
Two weeks before 9/11, national security wasn't
even a top priority for the Bush administration.
Job security and health security were the top
two major issues Bush planned to deal with in the fall
of 2001, according to a transcript of a speech
Bush gave on August 31, 2001, to celebrate the
launch of the White House's new web site.
But 9/11 gave Bush the excuse he needed to execute
a long-planned military strike against Iraq.
Bush duped Congress and the American people into
believing the country had ties to al-Qaeda.
The senate released a report debunking those
lies. For a majority of Americans, that's now old news.
Yet forty percent of Americans are still under
the impression that the Iraq war is directly linked to 9/11.
A January 11, 2001, article in the New York Times,
"Iraq Is Focal Point as Bush Meets With Joint Chiefs,"
should finally put an end to that debate and
prove that the Iraq war was planned out as Bush was sworn in.

Keith
Olbermann, mad as hell at Ground Zero
"How dare you spin 9/11?!"
Subject: Bush losing the war on terror
Bush admits that Saddam was not behind the 9/11
attack, yet he uses 9/11 to try to justify
his failed war in Iraq. Iraq had no terrorists
until Bush created a place where terrorism can flourish.
Why should they attack us over here when they
can beat us there?
We are on the wrong path, headed in the wrong
direction, and America is weaker than we were
5 years ago. We are so bogged down in Iraq that
we can't fight the war on real terrorism and all
our enemies have to do is sit back and watch
as we destroy ourselves.
After all, with leaders like Bush, who needs enemies?

Random Thought...
If Bush was innocent on 9-11,
why couldn't that 9-11 movie just tell the truth?
Since they changed the story, it can only mean the facts
didn't serve Bush well so they had to change them.
To me, that's proof enough.

Iraq: 'Beyond repair'
Excerpt:
Iraq's biggest province has suffered a total
breakdown in law and order in which al-Qaida
has emerged as the dominant political force,
according to a military intelligence review.
The WaHoPo quoted military officers who had seen
the report as saying the area was "beyond repair".
"We haven't been defeated militarily, but we
have been defeated politically - and that's where wars
are won and lost," was one army officer's summary
of the review quoted by the newspaper..
I saw CNN's Ramadi reporter say,
"Privately, off camera, the generals say they need
three times more troops before they could
even make this a war. Right now they are
overwhelmed and have no chance at victory."
Meanwhile, some cute-as-hell reporterette showed
video of the Taliban training
less than ten miles from
a US military base in Afghanistan.
Nothing is getting better - everything is getting
worse, and all we get from these lunkhead
politicians is that Rummy is keeping his job
because Bush wants him to stay there.
It just keeps getting worse and nobody will say anything out loud.

So i checked it out and found some interesting
articles including this.
Excerpt:
From Iraq's Mission to the UN, there's finally
been an answer to the months-old oil metering mystery.
Shell has been given the contract, and it will
take from one to two years to implement. How the
accountability of oil flows and sales until then
will be tracked has not yet been addressed, nor has why
it will take two years. For an oil port in Basrah,
the process will be faster, but it remains unclear which
company has been awarded the work. [Editor's

Remember 9-11? How can we forget it?
That was some wretched crap on the cable whore news channels yesterday.
How bad should we feel?
Why do we need to wallow in this over and over?
On the 10th anniversary, will they still be arguing
about how high to build the next Al Qaeda target?
I don't think a $500 million momument shows enough love.
We should build a $500 billion dollar target for next
time.
What good does it do to read the 2900 names? For whose benefit
is that?
Do the families really want to wade thru 2899 names to hear their loved
one's? Why?
Do the families feel better knowing everyone heard their loved one's
name?
How could anybody benefit from that?
Then Bush gets on TV and says, "We were attacked five years ago."
Duh, we were? I can't remember!
Seems to me there are two questions:
Are we safer now?
The answer is no.
Did Bush fulfill his vow to
steal Iraq's oil?
"I'm going to steal Iraq's oil!"
He sure did, and a nation is grateful.

Bush campaigns on fear
Excerpt:
Five years after 9/11, the kingpin of Abraham
Lincoln's party is still dead set on fooling most of the people
most of the time. Bush and his chorus of Republican
pols, Cabinet members and neo-con sycophants would
have us believe we're safer or, depending on
political expediencies, not that safe. According to the president's
pre-9/11 anniversary speeches on the progress
of the war on terror, we're safer than we were before the attacks
but not yet safe enough to steer clear of his
failed stay-the-course strategy. Bush says al-Qaida is decimated
but remains dangerous enough to destroy the entire
civilized world. There he goes again.
It's odd yet satisfying to see the world come around to what we knew
years ago.
What the hell took them so long?
The evidence was clearer than Lake Concha.
