Reply #15: MIHOP is impossible [View All]

Just look at the record of the Bushies here. Are they evil? No fucking doubt, man. They're evil as Satan's poo. But are they good at it? No. The phrase "Mayberry Machiavellis" captures it perfectly. If you had a proper militaristic asshole in charge of things like a Caesar or Napoleon, Iraq would be a done deal and Iran would be halfway in the bag. Just think of the quote from Babylon 5 concerning humans: "Arrogance and stupidity all in one package, how efficient."

Consider how much these people wanted Iraq. They wanted it to go right more than they wanted Christmas and they're still screwing it up. And you're telling me they could pull of a 9-11 MIHOP without a single screwup? That'd make the Kennedy Assassination look like a Boy Scout merit badge project.

I'm in the LIHOP camp. That makes a lot more sense. My thinking is they selectively rolled back protection thinking they were going to get a decent pretext for war, maybe some hijackings, maybe a few dead passengers they could blame on Iraq, something exploitable but containable. Remember the reports that Atta was supposed to be a CIA double-agent but it appears he was actually a triple agent, really working for Al Queada even when they thought he was pretending to work for them while working for the CIA? I bet they thought they had this all sewn up and it exploded bigtime. We know that the CIA and other intel agencies knew about the possibility of using airliners as weapons but the Bushies seem about as ingorant of such matters as the average citzen so it probably took them as much by surprise as the rest of us. Nobody had ever tried it before!

LIHOP just makes so much more sense than MIHOP. For a LIHOP, all you have to do is just let someone else succeed without stopping them. There's no funding, no coordination, no ties between you and them. As far as anyone else is concerned, it looks like the CIA and FBI fucked up. Remember how Yitzak(sp?) Rabin was killed? Lone jewish student gunman just walks in and blows him away. What, right under Mossad's nose? BWAHAHA!!! If it was that easy there wouldn't be any Jewish politicos left on the face of the planet, the Palestinians would have killed them all! I don't have any proof, of course, but it seems obvious they just let the gunman through the security. The gunman probably didn't even know Mossad was cooperating with him.

So back to the original point: MIHOP makes your whole theory seem ridiculous. The Bushies are plenty evil enough to warrant execution for treason without bringing fantasy into it. Planting evidence on the guilty is how OJ got off.
