Thank god Bush is here to exploit 9/11 otherwise people might forget!!!

911 made the Bush Presidency. Period. His entire legitimacy hangs on the thread of 911 and American's fear of terrorism. Without 911, his Presidency would have been complete joke and he would not even be in the race today.

I have to agree,without 911 all of america would see through his spin and realize this guy is there for the megacorporations like enron or haliburton and did nothing for the common man except for his tax break that really went to help the millionaires at the expense of the middle class. Without Fear and 911 he would be washed up. enviroment,health,economy,oil,war,and how others view us not one of these gets a passing grade and Bin Laden still roams free. on that alone he should be voted out. Bin Laden should have been our #1 goal but it wasnt.

Here's all the abuse in one funny place/not-so-funny movie: RE:the convention and 911

worth watching

MOVIE: 911

YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!

"I'm a candidate of hope and optimism."

IF JOHN KERRY BECOMES PRESIDENT TERRORISTS WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY!

"Freedom is spreading like God's love on little smiling babies."

WOLVES ARE GOING TO KILL YOU! 9-11!

Were that it were so... but there's a third of America that would still vote for George Bush if he murdered his twin daughters on live television - not even that would prevent them from voting Republican, like they will in every election in their lifetime.

Not just that, but so much about his presidency was set up before 9-11 to incorporate the policies, both domestic and foreign, that a majority of the American people have come to accept post 9-11. These measures and policies would never have gotten past the US people without 9-11, because of their extremist nature.

Although I posted this in some other long lost thread, here are some examples: The invasion of Afghanistan was already planned, and a large contingent of the US military was in the area when 9-11 happened, ready to go. The invasion of Iraq was pre-planned, and the commencement of the "War on Terror" was announced literally hours after 9-11 itself. The Patriot Act was pre-written and ready to go. The framework of the Homeland Security department was in place, as were the plans for theTSA ... and so on. 9-11 was Cheney's "Reichstag".

The policy aftermath of 9-11 was a package, a set piece. All the elements were ready, chomping at the bit, in the starting blocks, waiting for the inevitable signal. The motivation for the execution of 9-11 was enormous, and as in virtually all crimes, especially one of this magnitude, the prime mover is material enrichment of the well placed and powerful, and the general acceptance of unfamiliar and otherwise sinister policies.... which is exactly what happened, to a staggering degree.

9-11 was done by 19 arabs, directed by an individual holed up in the afghan outback. We all bought into the government's Elvis is alive type of wacko conspiracy theory, of similar credibility to the standard headlines in the Weekly World News. In the initial shock and horror, I believed it as well, but not any longer.

True. True.

I think the last series of press releases from al Qeda have been more than enough to make me apprehsive.

Osama is back and wants to repeat the lesson -- Bush or Kerry



Wonderful

We should've sent as many troops and special forces to Afghanistan to kill or capture Bin Laden. Period.

You attack us and we will find you no matter where you try to hide. And let that be an example to ANYONE who tries to terrorize our nation and our allies.

Instead, Bush and the neocons went to Iraq.

Time for Kerry to right the course.

Better the enemy you know, than than the enemy you don't know.


Or should we have lined up at the voucher trough with China, Russia, and France?

Guess that little Tora Bora fuck-up should sway your decision in the election?

Actually, until this afternoon, I really believed they killed that sack of s**t, and were using his "presence" to confuse people.

The sections of the transscript that I've read sound rambling, and I don't understand the point, except to scare america. He seemed to be reaching -- but definitly trying to skew the election -- hell, maybe cultural barriors will nullify whatever he's trying to pull.

I do think that scrawny piece of s**t realizes that if his crackheads pull anything near as serious as 9/11 that America will give the east an object lesson in 'total war'.


Oops, I forgot this isn't a cultural conflict, it's really about Oil and Halliburton. My mistake.

Nevermind.

I have to fly to Oakland this weekend --- boy do I feel safe.

Ohh, I see. Osama organizes an attack on US soil. The attack leaves 3000 people dead.

Connundrum: should we go after Osama, or after someone who had nothing to do with the attack? Shit, that's a tough one.

On that level of stupidity, we might as well have gone after Castro for logistical reasons and costs alone.

It's just a thought, don't flip.

I gotta get on a plane. Say a prayer the big O isn't seroius...see y'all Tuesday.

I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, and don't like him. But I knew going into Afghanistan was the right thing to do, and supported the conflict right up until Tora Bora. At that point I realized Bush was a bigger fuck-up than I ever imagined.

If Osama gets behind another attack I'll be pissed beyond belief at Bush. I'd say draft him and him alone to go back into Afghanistan and fight along side our troops there and finish what he started. It's inexcusable that Osama might still be alive. Absolutely inexcusable.

Bush failed, clear and simple. Failed as president, and everyone here knows it. He's fuck head. Believing his spin at this point is deadly. It's a very dangerous proposition for our country.

You're nervous about getting on a plane, and perhaps you should be, but direct your anger appropriately. You know if Osama is still alive that it's a failure of this administration.

Didn't the CIA try to go after Castro for nearly thirty years with no success?

Yeah they ran a brilliant campaign didnt they against the little island 80 miles off florida. More incompetance from the boys, they showed that same skill in Iraq with not 1 agent on the ground and a budget of billions. A lot of technology and no one with common sense. Govt beuracracy at its best and just like a beauracracy the solution is to feed more money,more money,more money......Not 1 man on the ground?????????????????
