"If you were the president or vice president of the United States, and 2,973 people were brutally murdered on American soil, wouldn't you want to know exactly how and why it happened, and fully cooperate with any investigation so as to make sure it never happened again?"

1. The bush administration was a speeding white bronco after 9/11 n/t

28. Was there previous intelligence that AQ was planning? Yes.

And that is why the presidential briefing on August 6, 2001, took place. They took it right to the top and Bush ignored it.

Doesn't excuse the CIA, et al, tho, they knew it was coming.

2. Only if the investigation would not clearly show that we had ample

warnings that an attack was imminent and that I had in fact taken absolutely no measures to foil the plot.

Other than that, yeah.

[whatchamacallit]

3. So you're admitting LIHOP then?

There's hope yet.

[Bolo Boffin]

4. No, that's just LIH. n/t

[whatchamacallit]

5. That convenient "incompetence" BS may serve the bush administration (and their apologists)

but it ain't workin for me.

[Bolo Boffin]

6. You were misrepresenting what he said, simple as that.

Now you are also seeking to smear him and others here.

[Flatulo]

7. No. I believe the administration was disinterested in bin Laden.

Remember Richard Clarke?

[icee2]

8. Depends

If you were bush, you certainly wouldn't want an investigation. Would YOU want an investigation of your own crimes? A better question
is why bushots don't want an investigation. Instead, what we get from them are insults if the subject is brought up. But, we already
know that 9/11 was an inside job and that it is simply unrealistic and futile to think that BUSHCO will ever be held accountable for their crimes. Maybe in 50 years the public will be allowed to know some of the truth...as with FDR's Pearl Harbor MIHOP.

[Flatulo]

9. Then why do you want an investigation?

> But, we already know that 9/11 was an inside job

Why not proceed directly to the lynchings?

[icee2]

10. That's how RWingers think. Why don't you believe in due process? nt

[Flatulo]

11. Yes, I do believe in due process. Do you?

You wrote...

> But, we already know that 9/11 was an inside job

How do you know this, and is your knowledge the result of due process?

[procopia]

12. How do YOU know what you "know"?

In fact, what do you know about 9/11? Anything? Why do you think the administration actively tried to stonewall an investigation from the very beginning?

[Flatulo]

13. go here for answer

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=276347&mesg_id=276349

[procopia]

16. yep

That's an answer.

[Bolo Boffin]

14. "Know nothingism" will get you nowhere. n/t

[procopia]

15. That's why many are seeking 9/11 knowledge...(nt)

[Bolo Boffin]

17. You can't seek knowledge with your ground rules.

Know-nothingness is the antithesis of knowledge and truth.

[procopia]

18. wrong

Pretend-to-know-allingness is the antithesis of knowledge and truth. And your ground rules are pretending-to-know-all.

[noise]

19. Thanks to John Farmer

we now know it all. An incredibly revealing look at the 9/11 plot. A real page turner too. Mesmerizing.

[Bolo Boffin]

21. Sour grapes. n/t

[HannibalCards]

25. Wait until

you reach Farmer's conclusion, when you reach the end of his book. I wonder if you will accept it.

[Bolo Boffin]

20. I don't pretend to know all. You pretend I pretend to know all.

Please get your facts accurate.

[noise]

22. Better to be satisified with the findings of authoritative panels

As long as one has low expectations of official conduct, one should remain content.

[Bolo Boffin]

23. Ah, there you go. Don't it feel good to say that word?

"AUTHORITATIVE."

"AUTHORITARIANISM"

Oh, feels so good to shackle someone else into ignorance with one single word cast their direction. Just call them "authoritarian" and, voila! Everything they say is just the MAN trying to wrestle YOU into submission.

Ah, well, back to reality.

[noise]

24. I know it's out of line

for a citizen to question authority.

I get the sense that you are happy with the product of the 9/11 investigatory panels. Is that the case?

[Bolo Boffin]

26. I am more upset over the fourth Twilight book than the product of the 9/11 investigatory panels. n/t

[procopia]

27. Appropriate comparison

Both are works of fiction.
