29. The recent RW talking point I hear is that there was fore-knowledge of the attack

May 2013

For this reason alone, I compare this to the planes flying into the twin towers. We had some pretty serious knowledge and Bush was on deck at that time. 3000+ lives and no serious investigation by the Right into that lapse of judgement?

In addtion, I must add that fore knowledge of NO WMD in Iraq and all those military deaths are ignored by RW talking heads.

The RW hypocricy is disgusting.
