5 people, armed with nothing but box-cutters, were able to successfully attack our military hq.

how anyone can think republicans are good at national defense is beyond me.

can you imagine if a democrat were president when the pentagon was hit? there would have certainly been many republicans calling for investigation and impeachment and removal and trial and imprisonment, and some of that might have actually happened.

what an embarassment!

1. The terrorists were supposedly Saudi... So we attacked Iraq?

[unblock]

5. to be fair, we attacked afghanistan first

we couldn't attack saudi arabia because it has a lot of oil.
we did attack iraq because it has a lot of oil.

that's republican logic for ya.

[jwirr]

6. Well Saudi was suppling us with cheap oil so we used Iraq as a

substitute.

2. After being explicitly warned a month in advance that an attack was coming.

3. Implementation of the PNAC blueprint, "Rebuilding America's Defenses."

7. It was the "New Pearl Habor."

Too bad we didn't have a rational response.
Oh, that's right!

11. No... surely it wasn't the "catalyzing event" they hoped for...

surely it's all just coincidence.

17. I just don't understand how some people around here can't see that.

They happily gobble up the shit sandwich that was the "9/11 Comission Report".

8. Ah, but that was still Clinton's Pentagon.

Hell, Bush was hardly unpacked, only eight fucking months into his "presidency." x(

9. And they spent a trillion dollars trying to defeat them...

and never caught the one guy they said was responsible.

13. The FBI has admitted they have no hard evidence connecting Osama bin Laden to 9/11

[jasi2006]

14. Well, all I can say is that the people who "attacked us" are all dead.

They died on 9/11. So the bullshit about going after those who attacked us is batshit crazy. The whereabouts of the people who planned it are unknown since there were so many reports of killing number 2 and number 3 over the last 8 years. And still we don't get it. Osama told us why 9/11 happened. In fact, he warned us that it would happen unless we left the Islamic holy lands and stopped the occupation of Palenstinian territories by Israel. So we just keep ignoring the history surrounding this stuff. Just like we keep ignoring what is motivating Iran to seek nukes. Just like we ignored why Iran does not like us or trust us. Just like we keep ignoring the fact that the Mexicon drug cartels are alive and well and will continue as long as we keep their markets going and only export guns and other weapons to them. We are making the same mistakes with South American nations and will rue the day that we keep dissing their socialist-leaning ELECTED officials. We will never learn. And just who are the people who want to keep things as they are all over the world? Who?

10. Yes if Democrats were in office,

there would have been in investigation, and it would not be a taboo subject to talk about. The people in office would be shamed beyond shame, and personally blamed for the incident. It might have even killed the party.

[kentuck]

12. I seriously doubt it would have happened if Democrats were in office..

I truly believe that.
