What We Don't Know About 9/11 Hurts Us
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-scheer15feb15,0,4613168.column

Would George W. Bush have been reelected president if the public understood how much responsibility his administration bears for allowing the 9/11 attacks to succeed?

The answer is unknowable and, at this date, moot. Yet it was appalling to learn last week that the White House suppressed until after the election a damning report that exposes the administration as woefully incompetent if not criminally negligent. Belatedly declassified excerpts from still-secret sections of the 9/11 commission report, which focus on the failure of the Federal Aviation Administration to heed multiple warnings that Al Qaeda terrorists were planning to hijack planes as suicide weapons, make clear that this tragedy could have been avoided.

1. I think if the American public had been
told the TRUTH-what a concept, eh?- support for the blivet would not have been what it was. And while the FAA has been proven to be negligent, I find it hard to believe this admin had no knowledge of those reports. So we were all lied to, plain and simple, and that ticks me off the most. #2 would be that this doesn't appear to be a problem for the talking heads of the MSM. I wonder, as always, where is the outrage?

Three tons of manure in a two ton truck!

4. Excuse me, but what time does the mall open today?????
There is no outrage. I love that bumper sticker: If you aren't outraged, you haven't been paying attention. Unfortunately, I think many people who read it don't get it. "Outrage? Why should I be outraged?"

The only concern the sheeple have is what affects their daily lives. The Dim-son & the MSM have successfully deluded them; they see no harm in his policies. After all, the mall they shop at hasn't been attacked by terrorists, so things are fine.

Of course, we all know, that it's nothing but a house of cards & that the bigger you are the harder you fall.

6. Ditto!!
But isn't it amazing & depressing at how much this administration is getting away with? How bad does it have to get, how far will they be allowed to go before that fall?

7. Bush and the villains have used 9/11 as a montra that the world changed
in the USA forever and keep repeating that 9/11 changed everything so this montra allows them to do exactly what they please like everlasting war ,tax cutsfor the rich and cut social services for the lower classes
9/11 legitimized a stolen election which was itself a coup d'etat

9/11 changed only if the repukes get away with changing the US Constitution...

8. Frankly, It's Hard Enough Dealing With What We DO Know!
It's a scandal a minute, none of which are ever resolved in any meaningful definition of the word. To thoroughly prosecute this Administration would take a century--much easier to have a summary trial and a firing squad! Cheaper, too. Probably more just, too, and definitely a deterrent effect will be noted.

9. P R O P A G A N D A
When the only thing you do is use peoples sensibilities to get them to agree with you it's called propaganda.

Don't look at the details look how it's structured and think about how the order and structure affects perspective directly.

Would you want to join a group of people who is nutty, weird, and dangerous for America? No one would... That is what you have to allow your self to be labeled to believe any of the 911 research done outside the friendly to Bush people.

Take a look... Only read the first four paragraphs and you know whose side you are on; without any evidence sighted. Even concluded their results before making their case.

Wake up America!

11. Regarding; "still-secret sections of the 9/11 commission report"
The issue with these held 911 reports that concerns me the most is that the commission was half Democrats and they did not speak out about the full report. I can understand the Repukes wanting this to be kept quiet but why did the Democrats allow this to be covered up for so long? They had a responsibility to bring this information out. I am very disappointed in the Democrats who were complicit in this.
