Reply #17: To assume incompetence with this Cabal is a grave error.

Dick Cheney was Secretary of defense under Bush Senior During the Gulf War. Do you really think he would not be aware of what was going on in that region? Do you think the Bush Family with all of its ties to intelligence operations and its business dealings with Saudi Families like the Bin Ladens and others who were major terrorist financiers, were really that clueless to what was happening? These are the same criminals who pulled off Iran Contra - selling arms to our sworn enemy and passing the funds along to mass murdering narco terrorists. All the while letting those same narco terrorists destroy many of our inner cites by smuggling tons of crack cocaine, and everybody getting fat from the profits. Then when they all got caught they got a slap on the wrist and a Presidential pardon. Do you think Halliburton and Unocal think that this administration was incompetent with respect to 911? Oh no, these men are not incompetent, not in the least, they knew exactly what they were doing. I could see perhaps making a case for CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE - perhaps - but certainly NOT incompetence.
