Did MSM ever report on war games happening on the morning of 9/11?
It seems like everything is considered a conspiracy theory, but
this is fact. Has it ever been discussed?

1. It's a very strange coincidence
does that mean that warnings were being sent and ignored? I don't really remember hearing about this before, but it's odd.

5. No, nor did they ever question
the chimp's actions that day which began with "My Pet Goat" and ended with a late night laugh shared with Pickles. From the get-go the American people were fed a pack of lies that had many believing that chimp came out a hero despite all evidence to the contrary. I actually had a fairly moderate repuke tell me with a straight face and in all sincerity, "You have to admit you were grateful for President Bush's leadership that day. Imagine how weak Gore would have looked." How can you even begin to counter something so assinine from a guy with his head firmly up his ass?

11. I quit being friends with someone over a similar remark
She said, "I'm so glad that Al Gore wasn't President on September 11th!" and that was that (after I pointed out 9/11 probably wouldn't have happened had Gore been correctly installed). I don't have time to listen to idiots insulting Gore. BTW, she and I have always differed politically but I lived with it until that remark, which was unsolicited.

Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 01:00 PM by LibDemAlways
young daughter's best friend, so I just wrote him off as a jerk and vowed to steer clear of politcal issues. Recently he told me (unsolicited) that Arnold's "his man" in the Governor's race and that he donates part of his considerable salary to the RNC. I responded sort of semi-jokingly that he shouldn't be giving money to terrorist organizations because the Homeland Security bogeymen will come looking for him and that as for Ahnold, the one muscle he never developed is his brain and that those who vote for him probably identify -- ha,ha only joking of course. Then I changed the subject.

6. Besides The Recent WP and VF Stories Who Else Is Talking About....
thie in MSM. I don't consider CSPAN - MSM. I mean MSNBC, CNN, Faux, Broadcast News on ABC, NBC, CBS - USA Today - other big city newspapers. Who else is talking about 'war games happening on the a.m. of 9/11'?

12. No, but it might make you question other lies they've told the world.

To put it mildly, the last thing the Gov't wants is for the public to start questioning what they were told about 9/11.

10. Did they ever report on the Pre-Iraq war games...
where the side playing Iraqi forces won...TWICE, using tactics not unlike the insurgents? Do they ever report anything that would shed any light on the roach motel that is the White House?

20. There was also a "terror drill" in London the day of their bombings.
But I'm sure this is all just a coincidence, right?

21. one obscure article
that's all I saw about it.

I never understood why they didn't widely explain that there were drills that day -- people would then understand how the confusion could have happened.

The fact that there was no mention of the drills indicates a blackout about them, and that indicates criminal activity.

23. Yes, it was reported
Fairly widely, IIRC. No one paid much attention, since there was a lot more going on at the time. But it's still pretty freaking weird. And then we had Condi and Cheney telling us that NO ONE could have ever expected them to fly planes into buildings.

25. So the average person probably doesn't know about this...
I still get emails at work about Iraq being behind 9/11.
of course Bush/Cheney/Condi worked that into many speeches.

27. Yes in the newspapers!
TV that's not C-SPAN, we'll you would be hard pressed to find anything at all. Imagine sometime at the end of 2001 or the start of 2002- (yes give them TIME to digest the tragedy) CNN saying, "Apparently there were war games that paralyzed the military's response on 9/11-simulations of hijackings. What are the odds that it happened THAT day?" Let's see an obvious thought here-maybe some of the hijackers knew about the simulations? Is that why they picked 9/11? Then who told them? Are there SPIES in our government?? Is it just a coincidence? (I'm not taking it to LIHOP just OBVIOUS questions.) Instead CNN chooses to cover-pick your vapid meaningless topic. Dean's "scream"wasn't as important as WHY and how Americans died on 9/11 or was it? Maybe the Runaway bride is more important. I'm just not sure.
