Reply #96: too much empathy

[jafap]

I have seen too many movies. Watching 9/11 on TV did not seem real to me. When I saw Joe Theisman's leg snap on Monday Night Football - I said Omigod! and only watched it once. Watching 9/11 was no more real to me than the scene in Blue Thunder where the missile hits the building. I was more troubled by all the ovations JR's big speech got and that he basked in the event like it was a wet-dream for him. He was a Cowboy, bay-bay. He was gonna ride into town and lead a posse to gun down the BAD GUYS.
My paternal grandfather was a staunch Republican and his initial response to Pearl Harbor was - LIHOP. I understand that is now a respected theory, but it is not being taught in High Schools or trumpeted on the news, is it? If LIHOP is not inconceivable for Pearl why should it be unthinkable for people as untrustworthy as the BFEE?
Although, for me the strongest suspicion is the lack of any effort to protect the Pentagon, from a screen-writing perspective doesn't the Phonident look alot studlier if he shoots the other two hijacked planes down?
Also, like Osama, they did not expect the buildings to fall down and greatly increase the death toll. I think someone else said it - it should be up to them to prove that it was NOT LIHOP. They need to provide explanations and alibis because they have motive and opportunity and a previous criminal record.
