It's clear to me that there are a lot of Bush apologists out there who want to stick their heads in the sand and ignore the evidence pointing to the likely circumstance that Bush and his administration knew well in advance of 9/11 that it was going to happen and deliberately did not act to prevent it. If Bush had been far left instead of far right, I can say with 100% confidence that the same information that is being dismissed by members of this forum now would be used as justification for calls to hang Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and others as traitors and war criminals. Instead, they choose to target Hillary Clinton whose greatest crimes were poor judgment and political spin. Why? Because it's politically convenient for the right to whip their base into a frenzy over it.

 

If the generalized "you" want to continue sticking your heads in the sand and ignoring the reality that the federal government began systematically depriving us of our rights on September 12th, 2001, and that they continue to do so today with the thanks and respect of the "anything for security/Uncle Sam knows what's best" mentality exhibited by members of this very board, fine. If you choose not to recognize that the Bush administration wasted little time spinning the attack into wars and destabilization in the Middle East, including a war against Iraq that we have lost more convincingly than any war in American history--a war that has been extremely good for oil futures and defense contractors like, you know, Halliburton--and you would rather go on thinking that a man who was part of the group that orchestrated the greatest act of treason in American history is some kind of hero, fine. Just remember this conversation when the party line becomes a bread line right out of 1984, and the Bill of Rights goes from the foundation upon which this country is built to a document worth little more than a roll of toilet paper.

 

Lol...  you mad bro.  "I can tell with 100% confidence that if this person was far left!"  That's rediculous.  1.) You're not a mind reader.  2.) We have patiently chronicled the difference in specificity between the pre 9-11 data and the pre-benghazi lintel.  In the one case even the links that YOU YOURSELF POSTED outline the fact that while there was significant chatter in 01 that the specifics of the attack had not been outlined.  In the case of HRC there was an online post detailing a desire for an attack against a specific target, 600 separate requests for greater security, a direct cable intended for the Secretary of state that were all DELIBERATELY IGNORED for political gain and COVERED UP.  3.)We have DIRECT EVIDENCE of the cover up.  There are E-mail of Hillary Clinton admitting that the video story was bogus.  Not to mention the fact that it happened in a forward theater of operation under a regime change that she herself championed.  Any attempts to compare or equate the two instances are at best misguided and at worst outright lies.  

 

And you talk about oil futures but you negate to mention the fact that the Bush administration pioneered the very policies that triggered a major depreciation cycle in said oil futures markets.  You still haven't explained how its burying my head in the sand to ask the basic question of "Who paid sadam to sacrafice his life and the life of his family for the bottom line of a defense contractor."  If you can't answer that then how are we ever going to get to a point where you can confront the fact that Haliburton wasn't a new government contractor.  Beyond that it might be weeks before we can talk about the fact that the only real executive intervention in their benefit came when Bill Clinton awarded them a bid that they should have lost.  

 

Don't worry TJ.  This really isn't your fault.  Thanks to the mainstream media, we have created an environment that doesn't really require people to do real in depth analysis when criticizing a republican administration.  All you have to do is spout off the words BLOOD FOR OIL, HALIBURTON, BUSH LIED etc. and automatically most people clap for the heavens.  Unfortunately that puts you at a great disadvantage when you have to defend your baseless accusations against people who are actually paying attention.  Its a shame that you have to resort to name calling "Bush apologist, burying out heads in the sand," etc.  Just know that when you get done you're still going to have to provide a factual basis for accusing an administration of felony homicide.  

 

I know its not that fun when your outlandish prejudices are met with the cold truth of reality.  But don't worry.  This is where the healing begins.
