How long will Bush be allowed to cover up 9/11?
Families of 9/11 have these questions and not one answered.

1. The regime has decreed that the 9-11 events not be looked into too closely

It is unlikely that the answers to their questions would bring them comfort.

2. Honestly what do we expect to find?
I mean if we find evidence that President Bush wasn't at his best that day, as I suppose we must, won't the American people pretty much forgive him for that?

If we want to prove that it was his failures as Commander in Chief that lead to September 11th; well, that strategy has problems too. The easy comeback is some variation on "President Bush hold Al-Queda responsible for September 11th. The Democrats hold President Bush responsible." To be fair, they are already saying that.

So what else is there? I'm not saying we shouldn't focus on his efforts to block the investigation; that's a clear misuse of his power. But what's the endgame strategy?

3. What we could find is that Bush and company
knew all about the planned Al-Qaeda attacks perhaps several months in advance and decided that it would be good for the pursuit of their agenda to not stop them, going so far as to clear the way to help them succeed.

5. I hate to say this but
That doesn't strike me as a very likely scenario. More a tin-foil hat type of scenario, truth to tell.

6. There's plenty of evidence for this
enough to warrant the kind of investigation that Bush seems determined to not allow.

7. Ahh, the trusty "tin foil hat" reply.
Never see that enough.

10. Probably the answer will never surface
because, if we assume some kind of M/L IHOP, Bush is not the real problem but only the front man. And the powers that could have prevented the attacks (or possibly organized them) will naturally avoid that the complete truth will ever be known to a broad public.

Take Pearl Harbor, JFK, Iran-Contra as an example.

11. Until Michael Moore's new movie comes out
The critics will be all over it then, like they are with Mel Gibson's movie now. It'll be picked apart, freepers will accuse Moore of making things up, etc.

12. I really hope you don't expect too much from this movie...
after all, Moore wants to earn money even after the movie came out.

13. Hijackings in the "Traditional Sense" at least were OK.
Remember when the spaghetti hit the fan for the Little Turd from Crawford?

14. How long has the Imperial Family covered up the Kennedy Assassination?
Same perps (or those who "facilitated" the actual perps like the Colombians in the case of Wellstone or the Cubans in the case of Kennedy).

Same coverups, really. Same comission to wallpaper over the lies and loose ends.

The answer: A long, looong time. maybe forever.

"The findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists. Experts said that they will also make unsettling reading for a President who has insisted national defence is a priority.

Last week the Bush administration came under heavy fire from a large body of respected scientists who claimed that it cherry-picked science to suit its policy agenda and suppressed studies that it did not like. Jeremy Symons, a former whistleblower at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said that suppression of the report for four months was a further example of the White House trying to bury the threat of climate change."

17. Thank you
Thanks, for the warm welcome! I normally lurk by - proxy through my husband who is a regular poster here (paradox). I do not have enough rights to start a thread so I had to post that article under an exsisting one.

cheers
Sandy
