		<description>Assigning credit to the Bubble Boy for no attacks since 9/11 presumes that he had absolutely no involvement in either allowing it to happen or making it happen.  

Seemingly reasonable people, many progressives included, are skeptical about nearly everything the Bush administration says, however, in this one case, are willing to believe and defend every word we&#039;ve been told, to the point of ridiculing others who might have the audacity to say that we need more answers.  And this has occurred despite the unprecedented benefits that the Bush administration has received from 9/11 having occurred.

Any reasonable person who studies what is known about this day would conclude that what our government has told us about 9/11 does not make sense.  I don&#039;t pretend to know all the answers regarding what occurred that day, however, I do contend that we haven&#039;t been allowed to learn the answers to these questions.  And the Bush administration has stonewalled any and all attempts to solve these mysteries at every turn.

Just because the conclusion of a thorough and searching investigation of 9/11 might produce a result that we might no want to face does not mean that we should pretend otherwise.  Refusing to go down that path does not and cannot change what occurred on that day no more than refusing to undergo testing to diagnose a rapidly growing, malignant tumor will cause it not to exist.

â€œOnly the small secrets need to be protected. The large ones are kept secret by public incredulity.&quot; -- Marshall McLuhan

&quot;Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.&quot;--George Orwell (O&#039;Brien in 1984)</description>

Bert was too chickenhawksh!t to answer this question. Would you like to try:



&lt;blockquote&gt;Iâ€™ll ask again: will you state unequivocally that if another attack happens during Bushâ€™s term then it is his fault?

If not, you canâ€™t give him credit because there hasnâ€™t been an attack.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>And every time we criticize Bush, the trolls remind us that Bush isn&#039;t running for president in 2008.  Yeah, we respond, but his ideology is.

So here we have a candidate who chooses to distance himself from a president who&#039;s very unpopular with the American people, and his fellow Repubs are beating him up for it.

It appears that Bush is on the ballot in 2008 after all.  No matter which Repub gets the nomination.

If the GOP was smart, they would be fighting to reclaim their party from the neocons who have driven it into the ground, instead of continuing to cheer the very ideas that the American people are running away from.</description>

Hay all,

See this neat trick?

Here&#039;s some details about WHY Kucinich wasn&#039;t allowed in the Iowa Debate, even though Allen Keys NEVER HAS HAD A STORE FRONT OFFICE in Iowa... 

Hint: It wasn&#039;t a Democratic Party debate, but instead, one hosted, run, and funded by PRIVATE INTERESTS!

Davis Fleetwood uncovers some truth, obfuscation, and deceit behind the curtain...

If your not welcomed by your own Party to join their debate, hold your own forum...

It&#039;s not getting pretty any time soon.

Sorry to interrupt... SHOP ON!!!

Smoking your crack again... eh?

What&#039;s that Frank? Did you just tell me to shut up or what... mail me some of your own powder. But remember, ever since the ANTHRAX ATTACKS they open your mail to inspect.

O.K... I exaggerated a bit. 
I don&#039;t think they open &lt;i&gt;ALL&lt;/i&gt; the mail.

Please just go back to your bridge Frank.

		<description>#129 --

Under whose watch did the attacks on 9/11 occur, 36 days after the report was given to Bubble Boy, stating, &quot;bin Laden determined to strike&quot;?  

And given your self-admitted fascist preferences, he&#039;s covered both ways.  If we aren&#039;t attacked again, its because Chimpy has kept us safe and if we are attacked, its because we haven&#039;t surrendered enough freedoms yet.  

You are no doubt comforted that your hero is the only Connecticut native to occupy the Oval Office, descended from a long line of Yankee bluebloods, a cheerleader at Andover Prep in MA, rejected by the University of Texas, went to Harvard and then Yale, extensively used alcohol/drugs, avoided serving in Vietnam, is afraid of horses and despite being over 60 years of age, routinely rides a bicycle -- a true, macho Texan.  Ever seen the statue of Andrew Jackson at the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville, riding a horse, with both front legs elevated off the ground.  Perhaps Texas, claiming this wannabe New England-bred cowboy as their own, will erect a statue of their former governor, riding a sting ray bicycle, popping a wheelie.

A couple of quotes by your hero, just for fun...

One of the great things about books is, sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.       U.S. News &amp; World Report (January 3, 2000) 

Those in authority should take appropriate precautions to protect our citizens. But we will not allow this enemy to win the war by changing our way of life or restricting our freedoms.    Remarks by the President In Photo Opportunity with the National Security Team, September 12, 2001 (he must have had his fingers crossed)

But all in all, it&#039;s been a fabulous year for Laura and me.    12/21/2001 White House release


We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They&#039;re illegal. They&#039;re against the United Nations resolutions, and we&#039;ve so far discovered two. And we&#039;ll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven&#039;t found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they&#039;re wrong, we found them. - George W. Bush, May 29, 2003 

I&#039;m a war president.    On NBC&#039;s Meet the Press, February 8, 2004 

I want to be the peace president         21 July 2004

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.                5 August 2004

The preceding is only a small sampling.

If he decides to leave office in 2009, why don&#039;t you and those of like mind move to a special location, and hire Chimpy to be your dictator?  Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.</description>

		<description>A country can&#039;t be a democracy with tens of thousands of foreign troops occupying them during an election.

I mean that is what George W. told the Syrians in regards to removing Syrian troops from Lebanon.

Right?

		<description>Well, there were bombings in Algeria this week. Not to mention the daily attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I would guess there have been thousands of attacks since 9/11.

		<description>exactly as many as there have been persuasive, factual posts by righties(or republicans, or independents, or libetarians, or whatever you people are calling yourselves this week) on this website, frank.

but if you  think it&#039;s because terrorists are afraid of the cheerleader prince, you&#039;re as vain and dumb as terrorists no doubt believe us all to be.</description>
