Is 9/11 LIHOP about to break???

[worldgonekrazy]

I read a story in the Wall Street Journal today pointing out many inconsistencies in the official 9/11 story and calling on the Bush Administration to come clean. Then I watched NBC Nightly News and saw a report on the 9/11 commission which went into quite a great deal of detail about the Bush Administration's stonewalling and refusals to cooperate. Asked why the President and Condi would not testify publicly.

Then I switched to CNN and Paula Zahn had THREE people on (Senator Graham, Joe Klein, and someone else) who were basically spelling out 9/11 LIHOP without actually directly saying it. Once again, many inconsistencies were raised and the tone was that something was DEFINITELY up.

I get the feeling the media has either a) finally caught on to the fact that they were duped and/or b) think that they can finally touch the issue at this time. They've waited for the moment to come and now that Bush is vulnerable they are going to BRING HIM DOWN!

So does anyone else think 9/11 LIHOP is going to break soon? Right now they seem to be warming it up, saying that 9/11 could have been stopped. Next they might talk about the fact that the Bush Administration had so many advanced warnings and did nothing, and finally they might just drop the bombshell.

Yes, my fellow tin foil hatters, I believe our day of vindication is near. What say you?

1. Duck and cover

2. Hard to say.

I expressly went to the B&N and bought the WS Journal for that article. Nothing new in it for me, but it is a BIG deal to see it there. Michael Rivero at www.whatreallyhappened.com has been pushing that timeline for a very long time. He has every right today to be very proud of his efforts.

[worldgonekrazy]

5. It seems the media is now disseminating info we have been privvy to

for a couple years now.

I suspect that the reason they weren't doing it earlier was that they felt they had to wait for the timing to be right. Now with Bush backpedaling seriously they are ready to pile in on him. I never thought I would see the day, but I gotta say that at this point I will be SURPRISED if 9/11 LIHOP doesn't come out as it has been practically spelled out to the public after today.

27. So far it looks like the message is: "They screwed up bigtime," not LIHOP

Still pretty fucking devastating, though. What I take away from Clarke et al is the not-so-subtext of: "They were so obsessed with Iraq that they willfully ignored what was right in front of their nose: that Al Qaeda, not Iraq, was the danger. Before *and* after 9/11, from the very beginning, in fact. Thousands of people died that day; thousands more in Iraq, and *none of it had to happen.*"

If people come away with that impression after watching 60 minutes or a related story, that ought to be plenty good enough to bring the miserable motherfuckers down. I know it's good enough for me. BASTARDS. I'm furious all over again.

3. Can you believe it was in the WALL STREET JOURNAL??

I saw it here online first things this morning, but went right in to my boss' office and looked at his hard copy, and showed him what it was and what it meant. :) ( He's already on our side anyway.)

[kysrsoze]

22. Yeah, Hardball promos compared tomorrow's coverage to Watergate!

Fuckin-A!

4. Wall Street Journal

Can someone please post a link or some more info about this WSJ article?

[gristy]

15. I think you need to pay for a subscription

This is the blurb on the front page of their web site http://online.wsj.com/public/us. Under "PAGE ONE".

Accounts of 9/11 Reveal Gaps, Inconsistencies
The independent commission studying Sept. 11 is trying to piece together a detailed picture of the government's response, but interviews with those who played key roles or directly witnessed events suggest that some official accounts are incorrect, incomplete or in dispute.

6. The Richard Clarke story is just the tip of the iceberg

The 9/11 testimonies are to begin tomorrow. I fear what BushCo will do to pre-empt it. And the Plame indictments haven't even been announced. OMG!:scared:

[Octafish]

23. Then there's the ENRON Energy Foreign and Domestic policies...

It looks like Corporate McPravda is finally catching up with the "intimidating" lying, election-thieving, murdering, sociopathic morons. About time.

But, back to the point, the tip of the iceberg:

Bush Knew & Terrorists Flew.
The FBI warned Washington.
The CIA warned Washington.
The NSA warned Washington.
The INS warned Washington.
The DoS warned Washington.
The DoD warned Washington.

The UN warned Washington.

Bush was in Crawford.
So he didn't hear about it.
Sure.
Just ask all those people who warned Washington.

PS: Bet most of them agree with Richard Clarke's version of events. Otherwise, they wouldn't be under orders to zip it.

28. Plame is nothing compared to this. It doesn't exactly help him, though.

[Abe Linkman]

7. Depends on what you mean by "LIHOP"

How is "Letting It Happen On Purpose" possible since decisions and actions HAD to have been made/taken, in order for the "attacks" to have taken place.

I think the Administration can "live" with copping a plea to "maybe could have done more or mistakes were made etc.". What they CAN'T live with is the truth: 9-11 was a MIHOP Conspiracy, NOT LIHOP.

[Unknown Known]

11. Yes, there was ACTIVE participation

If you just LET something happen - you are being PASSIVE.

WHO GAVE THE STAND-DOWN ORDERS?

[freeforall]

13. I agree, MIHOP all the way.

But at least they're talking about it publicly now. So, give it a chance and it will probably get to MIHOP.

[tom_paine]

16. Do you know how many people the Busheviks would murder before

MIHOP was proved or even investigated?

The floors of the Imperial Senate would be slick with blood, as it was during the days ofImperial Rome.

But I think the Imperial Senate knows that, as do all the "journalists" who love their lives and livelihoods and would fear to lose them.

I don't think it will come to that, LIHOP will remain a "Crazy conspiracy theory".

You know...like the break-in at the Watergate Hotel.

[Minstrel Boy]

20. I don't think there's a critical mass of Americans prepared for the truth

about this administration. And not just about this administration: about the half century of corruption which is the National Security State. Without it, Cheney/Bush would not be possible. The National Security State is the changeling in America's place, which most Americans cannot acknowledge.

[gristy]

17. I agree.

This administration leaves nothing to chance. Absolutely
NOTHING

[Cleita]

8. The genie is out of the bottle. Now the accusers need to go a

step further and implicate the direct connection between this administration and the PNAC and how their involvement led to LIHOP.

[MrSlayer]

9. I hope so. It's about damn time.

We were proven right about the WMDs and we will be proven right about this. It's just a matter of time.

[Beam Me Up]

10. LIHOP is still a fall back from MIHOP

One can remove the sock puppet and never touch the hand that put him on, animated him, made him dance and sing.

BMU

[Atman]

12. Randi Rhodes mentioned Booker Elem on CNN

Today, "debating" Armstrong Williams. They broke to commercial. Surprise!

At least she got it out.

[Skittles]

14. Can they please start with what that f***wit Bush did on 9/11??

why he sat there in that damn classroom while the attacks were in progress, why the second tower and Pentagon were not evacuated? WHY HAS THE MEDIA NEVER ASKED THESE QUESTIONS ?????

[alittlelark]

18. This may sound a tad paranoid, but I am Really glad we are flying

to our cabin in Colorado for a mini-family reunion tommorrow morning. Been planned for months - I wish I could stay there until the election! Great location, stocked for years.

I just cannot see this cabal of rats going down with the ship without attemping to DO SOMETHING to stop it.

I know this sounds paranoid - but there is an aspect of serendipity involved (at least for my psyche).
:shrug:

[LunaC]

19. I tried nudging the WSJ in that direction today

This is the email I sent to the author.
========================

Very nice 911 piece! It's a joy to see the mainstream media doing its job of
informing/educating the public rather than routinely regurgitating a white-washed
version of events

Now take it a step further and ask why the Bush Administration is populated
primarily by members of the PNAC......(Hint: The PNAC intended to invade Iraq as
far back as 1997 and they planned on bombing Afghanistan in MAY of 2001....911 was
just the pretext for that to occur.)

Now THIS is a story that desperately needs to be told (and your homework has already
been done for you!)

24. Want the media to pay closer attention? HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!

Here again is a list compiled by DUer bigtree - who looked up all these listings for us. Lots of work. Deserves LOTS of credit, and EVEN MORE USAGE!!!

And my sig line at the bottom will let you give 'em HELL ON THE HILL, FOR FREE!

Just do it, guys! If they think you don't care, they won't, either!

Use the responses to strike back at the attacks, here and elsewhere.

25. It could. But, Republicans are in charge.

Only a few of them have scruples, and they have little or no power.

Just thinking.

The FBI FISA denier, might be fearing for her life if a Senator decided to offer her immunity for testimony on who suggested dropping the field requests. The result would be so bad for Republicans even the scrupled would faint.

The immunity would go through Ashcroft. End of that attempt.

Keeping-the-planes-down-General is too old to make new friends, and too immature to have concern over sleeping at night.

Colin surmises enough to know he'd be better off not disturbing the rattlesnakes until he has to run.

Condi accidentally fell in way too deep. Immunity would do her no good.

Rummy won't talk. He has his dream job.

Bush is padding his family fortune that the death tax repeal makes a huge transfer of money a few years after poppy dies. He's the unwitting kingpin. He's not talking.

Cheney is just happy that the ground war saved his company's butt from Enroning into ruin. The war affords the company ample money to avoid embarrassing revelations of accounting. Even the asbestos problems are paid for, although he'd still enjoy the money that Congress could save him from having to pay the dying workers and families.

Forgot Ashcroft. He's forgettable.

I just don't see it falling apart just yet. For me, LIHOP is more that when Bush found out, he went on vacation. He'd make money on a war, they all would, all he had to do was enjoy his ranch.

Gore conceded. Republicans are in charge. It could happen.
