9/11 Was PREVENTABLE

[Stephanie]

If only President Cuckoobananas had gotten off his vacationing butt and done something about the many, many urgent warnings he received.




(In response to the recent Pew Poll that shows Bush's only strength is his handling of "terrorism.")

1. I'm sure the Anti-Clinton Crusade also caused 9/11 to come about

[doublethink]

4. I thought it was Newsweek's fault ?

what ...... am I wrong? :sarcasm:

[tk2kewl]

16. good point.

Clinton admin had to waste far too much time on the wingnut attack. May very well have resulted in wakened national security. And over what?

[maveric]

2. Why werent fighters jets scrambled when 4 airliners went off radar?

Payne Stewart's private jet went off and they were on that like a fly on shit!

[Blue Belle]

8. It took the Air Force fighters only 20 minutes...

to find Payne Stewart's plane in 1999. You can't tell me that our Air Force is THAT incompetent on the day that our country was attacked.

[maveric]

12. Things were "in motion" and they were told to stand down.

And how did the plane get close to the Pentagon?

[BlueEyedSon]

23. Who stood them down, and where is the proof?

Not that your explanation doesn't make the most sense.....

[maveric]

27. Some say Cheney was calling the shots from minute one.

Which wouldnt really surprise me.

[Blue Belle]

32. If it even was a plane....

I have a feeling it wasn't.

[BlueEyedSon]

3. What, exactly, DID bush do on his summer (2001) vacation?

[Goldmund]

5. Oh, but he did.

He must have, otherwise automatically triggered defense mechanisms would have stopped FOUR hijacked aircraft which went off their course for hours.

6. Side note.....I love it when people call Bush President Cuckoobananas

It fits sooooo well!!!!!

[BlueEyedSon]

24. Not "Bunnypants"?

[kliljedahl]

25. That's Commander Cuckoobananas

7. Yeah, preventable...

...as in "I could "prevent" Jon Bon Jovi from having aching balls by not kicking Jon Bon Jovi in the balls".

[converted_democrat]

29. Ha.....

that's some funny stuff.........

[TWiley]

9. Kamikaze pilots in WWII, and NOBODY envisioned a jet as a missile?

Well, this was their first excuse on record. "Nobody ever thought anyone would use a jetliner as a guided missile"

What a load of crap. They expected us to believe that the military, and the entire intelligence community world wide had forgotten about the Kamikaze pilots in WWII.

In fact, the WTC was designed to survive and airline impact, so obviously the designers could conceive of it.

Just about everything publicized in the media about this attack, and the war afterward is bullshit. The bushtapo knew full well in advance of this disaster, and they let it all happen to justify a war for mineral wealth.

To believe anything else is insane.

10. Bush was handed the Hart-Rudman Report on Global Terror on Jan 30, 2001.

He refused to read the 2 1/2 year study of terror that also included URGENT proposals for homeland security.

[TwentyFive]

11. Bush caused 9/11, either through neglect of duties, or malicious intention

Why voters did not hold Bush accountable is beyond me.

[TwentyFive]

13. We have LOST the war on terror. Just wake up and look around you!

No political leader will ever admit defeat. Even Saddam Hussein was declaring victory as US Troops were marching into Baghdad.

We are losing our freedoms, and this loss grows every day. We have traded some freedom off, for this added security. It was Ben Franklin who said that anybody who trades freedom for security....will get neither.

[kliljedahl]

28. And Saddam may yet be proved right

Not him personally, but the country of Iraq opposed to the "Crusader Infidels"

14. Even short of Mihop/Lihop, Dubya was asleep at the switch.

And Cheney had messed up Norad's responses.

And the whole damn Administration closed its ears to any knowledge stemming from the Clinton Administration.

[ComerPerro]

15. I marked "disagree", because I personally feel

that although 9/11 could and should have been prevented by any rational person, I believe that it happened because it had to in order to suit the BushCo agenda.

So, in that sense, I would almost say unpreventable.

What I mean is, I don't think it happened because BushCo wasn't paying attention.

It happened because they didn't want or care to stop it.

[Stephanie]

17. Then I should reword the question

If he did not want or care to stop it, but could have, then it was preventable.

[ComerPerro]

20. Well, that's just how I read it

I'm odd.

[Goldmund]

18. Agree 100%.

[1956]

19. Yer right, I think.

I wished I had changed my vote.
The events of 911 were all too convenient for cuckoo bananas!

[Stephanie]

21. I did not ask WHY he didn't get off his butt

I also believe he sat on his butt for a reason. No need to change your answer. It was still preventable.

[ComerPerro]

22. As the OP mentioned to me

Saying that it was preventable doesn't imply that you think Bush didn't want it.

That is,

It was preventable, but just wasn't prevented.

[Cleita]

26. He ignored all the warnings.

I think it was planned because key players were conveniently away at the time. It's time to investigate the Saudi connection here.

31. His administration was briefed by Sandy Berger

shortly after he was appointed by the SCOTUS. They KNEW Bin Ladin was a danger and chose to shelve the info because it came from that silly silly Bill Clinton administration. Rice IGNORED it. The idiot-in-chief had vacationed for what? 45 days? (can't remember) Yes, 911 is all this cabal's fault....on purpose, I might add. They NEEDED their "Pearl Harbor" to further their PNAC agenda. Amazing how they got it, isn't it?

[Stephanie]

33. And the AYES have it.

So why is George Bush getting high approval numbers on terrorism? Do they mean he's good at letting terrorism happen?
