Also as to the case being compellig or not is irrelvant because the adminsitration has not cooperated. Remeber in the days after 911 Bush was adamant that no investigation occur. Remember that this is th emost secretive adminsitration ever. How on earth would one uncover the truth when there is no way that the adminsitration would ever do anything but testify not under oath and not without constantly exerting their phony executive privledge claims? If Obama or any other dem wins I hope you and all the republicans maintain the consistent stance that the president can do no wrong. I for one will be more than willing to hold whomever the next president is accountable for his actions. I fully expect you and your kind to not do so.

Robertson is mentally unhinged. He is in serious need of psychiatric counseling. Whatever God he talks to might also need some help.

Do you really not see why someone would refuse to pursue it? I can’t believe your imagination is THAT limited, Cap’n.

Personally, I’m not willing to say that anyone in the administration had any active role in the attacks.

But when I saw the footage of Bush siting like a deer in the headlights with “The Pet Goat” on his lap, he had exactly the look that someone might have if they were told rumors of something big in the works and then, when something big happened, said to himself “Oh shit. They really did it.”

I’m just sayin’.

And this administration hasn’t built up a ton of credibility over the past seven years.

Crazy, and stupid. You’re the perfect republican tool. All the evidence has been carted out of the country and destroyed, and the foxes are still in charge of the henhouse. Where are the videotapes from any of the 80 cameras trained on the Pentagon, showing a giant jetliner crashing into the place and leaving a tiny hole? That’s just one of a thousand unanswered questions that only show the intelligent here that something is being hidden, and somebody is lying. You can buy the obvious lies of abvious liars if you like, but it makes you a Good german, instead of a good American citizen, who has paid for, and deserves, answers to these questions.

Can’t believe in this day and age that anyone buys this crap anymore.

Evolution has left Pat behind.

I could be wrong. Explain it to me.

Bush may or may not have known anything at that time. He was clueless, and losing his support rapidly. He was on his way to one forgettable failure of a term. Cheney is most likely the culprit in keeping Bush ignorant, as well as in essentially turning off our air defenses on 9/11. Anybody who thinks 19 Arabs in hijacked airliners could do the damage they did with no inside help is truly crazy.

Don’t look now, but that ship has already sailed.

Humans have always been susceptible to “charismatic leaders”. Most people simply don’t bother examining the motives of those who tell them what they want to hear. And religions become a powerful political tool when they fall into the “wrong hands”.

We live in a time where charismatic leaders have learned to use the, relatively new, methods of mass communication faster than society has built up a defense. Thus was born the “religious right”.But? There is some encouraging news.

While the religious right has drawn together, they have taken up a militant dogma that, to all appearances, is losing it’s appeal. And, by voting for their chosen religious figures, they marginalize themselves. Reagan gave them a voice. Bush 41 gave them power. Bush 43 let them display their ineptitude. And Huck may reduce them to the level of a bad joke.

The Iowa caucus is a prime example. The hardcore evangelicons gave Huck his “win”. But the “non-religious non-right” showed up in record numbers and made his “win” insignificant. The fact of the matter is that most people aren’t fanatics, and don’t like fanatics. And? I think Iowa was just the first blow. The first of many blows which will kick the fanatics back to the fringes of political power.

Wow, I guess a house has to fall on some people. I knew the next president would be a Democrat, and god never talks to me.

Your linked article makes no attempt to define what they mean by “Bush knowing about the attacks in advance”, there is no definition of what question was being answered, and no clarification of anything that would equate to “9/11 conspiracy”. It could just as easily mean that Bush had been briefed in advance about Al Qaeda operations, including the possibility of using airplanes as weapons. Do you question that?

Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002.

If only 16 percent say the government is telling the truth, that means that 84% think that Bush may be covering up something. That directly contradicts your link troll.
