(3,128 posts)There were two earlier attempts to drag us into war. I can't remember the first but the second was the Hainan Island incident but China backed down. We needed a distraction because the Florida count was just about complete and it would have shown that Gore won.
I was in DC at a conference on 9/11/01. I had driven there from Va Beach and so had to pass the Pentagon that afternoon on my drive back home. There were no sheared 757 wings, no passenger luggage, or debris that we always see from the crash of a large commercial passenger jet.
A friend of mine was the keynote speaker at a financial conference held in Windows on the World on 9/11/01. Many of the high ranking financial personnel who were to attend that day were called by Warren Buffet to a last minute meeting in Omaha. My friend declined because he had committed to being the keynote speaker at the conference. He died. He was a truly great spirit with two young children.
God do I hate Bush, Cheney, and the secret government!
