about why they think Cheney, et. al.'s involvment in 9/11 is to far fetched.
I sat with an 88 year old WWII veteran, Army Air Corp. the other day at the VA. I'm a vet from the Vietnam period with some health probs. Nearly the first thing he said, before he knew a thing about my political views, was his fear that Obama is under the thumb of the CIA ( read: Bush Cheney fascists). He told me of riots on the campus of his alma-mater USC Berkley in the early 1950's against the CIA and Bank of America's terrorist activities in Guatamala where Arbentz was murdered. I had never heard of this, thinking that the 60's is when the protests began. He said, laughing, that BOA had to build a brick wall to cover where the banks windows were because the students kept breaking the windows after they were repaired. And so we talked. He was a graduate, a very wise old man, with a sparkle in his eye and a keen knowledge of history. He was happy to see that I shared his interest in history and we moved to the present....
The terrorist attack in NYC the Repukes are loudly reminding everyone is the 3rd since 9/11 and ALL on Obama's watch. They repeatedly forget the three anthrax attacks in the months after 9/11 two of which attacked political enemies of Bush--Daschle and Leahy-- while the third killed the editor of the National Enquirer Bob Stevens who had, coincidently, posted pictures of daughter Jenna Bush drunk or doped carousing with another woman. Leahy in particular tried to put the brakes on the Patriot Act--Bushboys baby. Daschle has since given up on politics, while Leahy keeps fighting.
It seems the fascists are going to rekindle the notion of dems being lame on security. This is a tactic employed since the 60's and the 1968 Oct. Surprise if not before. The Repukes are well versed in the Heirarchy of Needs by Maslow--safety preempts, or is "prepotent" to all other considerations. It is why the Repukes nurture the terror aspect so diligently--it is all they have. They control the terror--turning it on and off as the political situation calls for. Simply obstructing the dems from doing anything is real easy. It also allows them to keep the MIC bloated beyond all reason, while curtailing civil rights, speech, etc. as well as keeping us in perpetual war for their perpetual profits. They can fail in all else, but if they can "prove" repeatedly that they are the only ones that can keep us safe they could well move us into the fascist abyss from whence we will not return.
What I don't understand about Clarke here is why he finds the idea of 9/11 being an inside job so beyond the pale. He gives no substantive argument just compares it to believing in aliens. He on the one hand already believes that Cheney is using, or is capable of using, terrorism for political advantage, so why is the ultimate act of terror--9/11--which gave the Bushies so much power so out of the question?
Obama is simply not up to the task and through inaction--particularly maintaining the Bush doctrine (Remember Cheney totally approves of his Afghanistan policy) has squandered every opportunity to nail their asses, or maybe, as my WWII friend suggested, cannot.
So this is what almost had us mastered, but don't rejoice in victory you men, for though we stood up and stopped the bastards, the bitch that bore them is in heat again.-- "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui"
