2. Well
It's not well known, but President Bush is a doodler, and he has somewhat of a . . . shall we say less than pristine mind. So in order to avoid embarrassing the commission with his little sketches of . . . well best not to say (but they make Troy McClure look like a prude), they decided to withold those documents.

7. Where's the Outrage
Well, now we have the Bush administration withholding important documents from the 911 Commission. What do these people have to do for someone to stop this madness? This is by far the worst president in my lifetime. It is amazing to me how blatant they are with their transparent corruption. I am most amazed by the fact that apparently the American people really don’t give a damned! What has to be done for the people to finally stand up and say ENOUGH!? Isn’t this latest action by them (withholding important documents from the Commission) enough to cause the people to rise up and put a stop to this? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE???

8. Welcome to DU, PLA0242!
There is plenty of outrage here. They are with holding these papers purely for political reasons. I am sure that they show how Clinton was on top of the terrorism issue and passed it all along to shrubbie who promptly ignored it to work on star wars and iraq.

10. Thanks!
Thanks, Roadrunner. I have been meaning to register for a long time. For the last two months I have found it difficult to stay away from this site. I have a lot to say and I need a lot of support to help prevent my passions from overriding my reason. I look forward to a long relationship with DU. Thanks again RR.

11. Some Musings...
Some Musings…

I did not know what it meant to be a Liberal until Reagan took office. Up until that time, I simply had certain views of the world and human condition which I later learned were “progressive” and “liberal.” Not only did I learn I was a Liberal, but I also learned that it was a “bad” thing. This realization came when I first heard Rush on the radio. I was so outraged at his diatribe and his cruel comments…such as referring to people that had died as “achieving room temperature.” I didn’t know at the time why it outraged me so…it just pissed me off.

When George W. Bush took office, I supported him because he was now our president. No, I didn’t vote for him…in fact, I remember thinking at the time that he was an empty suit. But because I love my country and I want the very best for its people, I set aside my political passions in hope that Mr. Bush would do well for our country. I would never hope for any president’s failure regardless of their political party. But my worst fears have come true. Mr. Bush is a complete and total failure…by far, the worst president in my lifetime and perhaps in history.

I recently made my own bumper sticker. It reads: “So, I suppose the whole Monica thing seems pretty tame right about now.”

What happened to my country? Was I sleeping? Was there a coup? Did a revolution happen while I went about my daily tasks? What the hell happened!?

Any single corrupt act by the Bush administration, by itself, would be enough to cause me deep concern. Yet, their “bonehead actions” seems to have no end. Everyday there is yet another revelation about these people and the continued dismantling of our country. Let’s review:

Questionable Election: There is a damn good chance that these people weren’t even elected!

Vacation/Other Weirdness: So Mr. Bush takes the longest vacation in the history of the presidency, right before 9/11. He admits that he does not follow the news but uses his close advisors in assisting him with daily tasks.

Frontline: So, did anyone see the Frontline program a while back (I believe it was called “The Bush Doctrine”) on how Bush was handpicked by (what we now call neo-cons) a conservative element to be president? Apparently, the whole idea of invading Iraq was hatched a long time ago. Also, more indication that Bush is largely a mouthpiece for the conservative right.

School/AWOL/Business Dealings: Okay, so he was a “C” student. Apparently he is sort of proud of that “everyman” – “awe shucks” sort of character. It worked for a while…but I think it’s starting to wear thin. Let’s see….He can’t remember a single individual that could verify his presence at the Air National Guard….NOT A SINGLE PERSON! And, of course, he couldn’t find any oil in Texas…in TEXAS, mind you!

I'll continue this later...(not that it is that interesting).

12. What are they hiding?
They are hiding that they had good reason to spend a lot more attention to al Qaeda before 9/11 instead of getting tax breaks for the rich friends and fixating on Iraq and Star Wars; they are hiding their incompetence on the day of 9/11 as well as Chimpy's personal cowardice (and possibly that they shot down Flight 93) and they are hiding evidence that just about everything they have said in public since 9/11 has been a flat out lie.
