Reply #20: H2O and Minstrel Boy --

[coeur_de_lion]

I have to say I can find merit in both arguments. I have followed H2O's logic on many other subjects and have a great deal of respect for his opinion. Personally I have always believed as H2O does -- that * & Co. were incompetent in their response to 9/11, and then they capitalized on the fear it created. But they did not in fact organize the attack.

However, good friends of mine, whose opinion I also respect, believe as you do, Minstrel Boy. That there is too much evidence that the mayor robbed the bank. In the spring of 2001 Ashcroft stopped flying commercial airlines, the military seemed to "stand down" and not react. They were conducting military exercises at MacDill on 9/11, just a short drive from where the President was reading "My Pet Goat." Those exercises were purportedly simulations of an attack like the one on the WTC.

I don't really know what to believe. Can someone explain why all of those things happened? When my friend first told me about this theory I scoffed. Now I don't know.

We don't know if the * administration orchestrated the 9/11 attacks -- yet there is compelling theory that says he did. I guess the important thing for us is this. This man is so corrupt, so vile, so dishonest, that we actually know he would be capable of something like this. It's like I once told my sister when she suspected her husband was cheating. "It is almost irrelevant whether he is actually cheating -- the important thing is, you trust him so little that you suspect him of it. That is the issue that you need to examine." They are divorced now! And he *was* cheating.
