Bush has stonewalled a committee of his own choosing.....

"If what I say is right, the whole U.S. government should end up behind bars." - Andreas von Bulow

To most Americans, the first inkling that something was wrong with the official story of the 9/11 catastrophe occurred about a year after the event, when President Bush resisted setting up a panel to investigate the events of that dark day.

Why would he not want to investigate the greatest crime in American history? many wondered. Then, he badly underfunded it. Then, he tried to name infamous power broker Henry Kissinger to head it. Since then, Bush has stonewalled a committee of his own choosing, one stacked with political functionaries that is ill-equipped to conduct either a police or forensic investigation - and, perhaps most revealing, one that accepted the government's version of who the guilty parties were before they examined any evidence!

To date, there has never been anything revealed to the public about how the U.S. government KNOWS that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda were the actual perpetrators of 9/11.

Today, millions of Americans realize - simply from watching thousands of cop shows on TV - that the one most interested in covering up a crime is the one most likely to have committed it. Many more millions also realize that the foremost beneficiaries of the attacks and mass killings of 9/11 are the same people who are now waging wars that are based on some very suspicious rationalizations, most of which since have been exposed as outright lies.

Shockingly enough, even Thomas Kean, chairman of the committee constructed to cover up this greatest crime in American history, blew the whistle the other day that the attacks could have been prevented. Whether this will develop into a real investigation, or whether Kean's remarks were nothing more than what is called "a limited hangout," remains to be seen. But Kean's comment was evidence that a much larger percentage of the American people is beginning to sense that the "they hate our freedom" rationale uttered by the president is clearly bogus, and there is much more than meets the media eye happening about 9/11.

snip

In the mind of these many more millions of Americans, a new syllogism began to take shape: if they lied about why they went to war in Afghanistan and they lied about why they went to war in Iraq, how stupid would Americans have to be to believe what they said about 9/11?

snip

Worse, what passed for the political opposition was afraid to even whisper what was becoming obvious in the minds of so many Americans with functioning brains - that the initial signs of a deliberate air defense standdown, the phony mythology about Muslim hijackers, the funny way all those buildings in New York happened to fall, the tiny hole in the Pentagon that was supposedly caused by a giant airliner, and the curiously comatose behavior of our president when the nation he was supposed to be leading was under dire attack - that 9/11 bore a multitude of evidential suggestions that it was an inside job, executed to give right-wing crazies a better shot at looting the treasury of their own country in a variety of ways. This scenario has now obviously come to pass.

2. The evidence mounts chip by chip, piece by piece. The American People
have been conned by a Puppet and his Masters/

Slowly the People have smelled the coffee, then tasted it.

The Greens knew something Amiss when Bush went South on Kyoto.

Then the Europeans Mooned him.

9/11 came and then many of us KNEW... the man is a fraud. and on and on it went, and now, even his own committee sez what the obvious is... it didn't have to happen.

Bush is Toast.

7. Why would he not want to investigate the greatest crime ...
This is the part that really troubled me too. When Daschle wanted an investigation and Bush and Cheney told him NO and then denied this conversation ever took place....I thought they must already have the information. Otherwise, they would have insisted on having an investigation ........* should have been outraged over 9-11 and had called for an investigation himself.....unless of course, he knew.

9. Did anyone follow the links...
...and view the 'controlled demolition' videos? I'd like someone elses opinion on what they saw. As the towers collapse...clearly visable is a series of 'explosions' below the damage. Can somone look at this and tell me what THEY see?

15. everything Bush* does has a political motive
with the 9-11 commission - he was under pressure to create it,so he did - but this gives him the opportunity to say that he investigated the events of 9-11

just like the Patient's bill of rights in Texas - he first vetoed it, then the legislature passed it WITHOUT his signature, then when he ran in 2000 he said he supported the patient bill of rights

His MO is to make a less than half-hearted attempt at something just so he can say he "tried" to do it, or to take credit for it and if it doesn't work then he blames someone else
