Reply #129: I multi-task

there are so many issues these days, but really, for the sake of the WORLD I think we need to educate ourselves on things like this. I'm not a government expert at all, but I've familiarized myself enough with this particular administration to know that with them, anything is possible.

Hard as it was for me to believe that our leaders could have actually ALLOWED 9/11 to happen on purpose, or worse MADE it happen, after reading a few books, reading the official explanations (that really make no sense whatsoever), and most of all, knowing that the administration did everything in its power to stop ANY investigation of what happened that day, one has to wonder. A couple of books "The New Pearl Harbor" - "The Terror Timeline" and one about the omissions and distortions of the 911 report are eye-opening.

If you stop to think about it - the President of the United States is in a known location, the country is under attack, and he STAYS in that known location - not worried at all about his own safety, or the safety of the "children he didn't want to alarm". That just doesn't make sense to me. Then there's the little quashing of any investigation, and then, when one finally had to be done to save face, it was staffed by people very sympathetic to the administration. They couldn't get information they needed from the agencies involved, and couldn't ask the questions that they needed to ask.

If you were President, wouldn't you encourage, in fact INSIST on an investigation, rather than going to great lengths not to have one?

Just some food for thought. It's not really a question of Bush and Cheney being smart - there's the whole PNAC, and unfortunately, there are some great, albeit deranged, minds involved.
