Donald Rumsfeld's carefully crafted lie
"I knew of no intelligence during the 6-plus months leading up to Sept. 11 that indicated terrorists would hijack commercial airliners, use them as missiles to fly into the Pentagon or the World Trade Center towers." -- Rumsfeld.

Yep.

He had warnings they were going to fly planes into buildings.
He had warnings they wanted to come back and finish off the WTC.

But he didn't have a warning that they wanted to fly planes into the Pentagon or WTC.

He can't put 2 and 2 together? How is he our Secretary of Defense?

Lying bastard.

1. Yeah, who would have thought the WTC would be a target?
Inconceivable.

Oh, wait a minute.

2. Is that really what he's going to go with?
Man! That sounds clunkily obvious even to me. Any reporter, worth their salt or not, will tear him to pieces on that. I thought these guys were so brilliant.

8. This is the PERFECT meme
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 08:29 AM by seventhson
But it is a little tricky.

Rummy says "of course we didn't know that....

On a Tuesday and the man in the third row was having grey poupon on his bagel!. OF COURSE we didn't know THAT! ( How (in Rummy's whiney nasty voice clacketing through his obscene dentures) could anyone POSSIBLY have wexpected us to know THAT? It's IMPOSSIBLE!"

4. At nine o'clock in the morning, on a Tuesday
With a flight that was only serving breakfast.

Jackass. They have been doing this dance-around from the very beginning. They damn well knew something was likely to happen.

5. Absolute proof Rumsfeld is a big fat liar
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 07:26 PM by seventhson
Jim Hatfield (author of Bush bio "Fortunate Son") was suicided two weeks after writing this TWO MONTHS BEFORE 9-11:


"German intelligence services have stated that bin Laden is covertly financing neo-Nazi skinhead groups throughout Europe to launch another terrorist attack at a high-profile American target—his first since the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen last October."

"According to counter-terrorism experts quoted in Germany's largest newspaper, the attack on Dubya might be a James Bond-like aerial strike in the form of remote-controlled airplanes packed with plastic explosives."





http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/Hatfield-R-091901/hatfield-r-091901.html

He had received death threats from someone close to Bush directed at his daughter and his wife as well as him just before the alleged suicide which occurred under extremely suspicious circumstances.

6. Or, it should be added it MIGHT be a hijacked airplane packed with jetfuel
SURE they had no idea.

I suspect the skinheads were probably just Halliburton goons
