Democrat Suggests Administration Involvement In 9-11 Attack

[Sarxis]

I think this whole thing was setup so the U.S. could finally use up their stockpiled weapons.

Logistics Officer: "Oh crap! These bombs have an expiration date of May 20th, 2002!"

George W. Bush: "I'll take care of it."

If that was the case, we'd just pick a Carribbean Island at random and bomb it.

You are all against that Congresswoman because she is BLACK.

No I,m not. However she has made some very stupid remarks time after time.

Hey, Joe, be careful what you say, do and think. You are supposed to think that Pearl Harbor came as a complete surprise. If you start spreading doubt about that you're undermining the war effort. You are either a communist or an Arab. You are definitely an EVIL ONE.

I just stated the facts. They knew something was going to happen, but did not know when and where until it did happen. I will go on record if they did know where the Japanese fleet was they would have gone after the fleet. With the firepower in Pearl the Japanese would not have stood a chance.
BTW I,m not a communist or Arab. My Father family has been in the United State since 1634 and some of my ancestor are American Indian, so with that bit of info I,m sure you can figure out what color my skin is.

Joe, please change your avatar to be that of a 637 submarine. (And give me a copy too.) Want a picture which emphasizes the high sail. FW planes in under-ice mode would be cool also...)

Yes I watch Crossfire every day, and he did hide under the table when Tucker Carlson asked him if he supported her. We have another Black Lady Congress person from Calif. (Maxine Walter of Watts L.A.), when asked a several months (during Elane (spelling?) return to Cuba) ago how many Communist Country there are and she did not know. Most of her issue are far left also. She wants normal relation with Cuba and care less that it is a Communist Country.

Cool!

Read what the brave congresswoman said, and comment on that. She doesn't mention jews, aliens. Stop for once criticizing the messenger, dare to criticize the message.

The need for an investigation of the events surrounding Sept. 11 is as obvious as the need for an investigation of the Enron debacle. Certainly, if the American people deserve answers about what went wrong with Enron and why (and we do), then we deserve to know what went wrong on Sept. 11 and why.

Are we squandering our goodwill around the world with what many believe to be incoherent, warmongering policies that alienate our friends and antagonize our allies? How much of a role does our reliance on imported oil play in the military policies put forward by the Bush administration? And what role does the close relationship between the Bush administration and the oil and defense industries play, if any, in the policies being pursued by this administration?

We deserve to know what went wrong on Sept. 11 and why. After all, we hold thorough public inquiries into rail disasters, plane crashes and even natural disasters in order to understand what happened and to prevent them from happening again or minimizing the tragic effects when they do. Why, then, does the administration remain steadfast in its opposition to an investigation into the biggest terrorism attack upon our nation?

News reports from Der Spiegel to the London Observer, from the Los Angeles Times to MSNBC to CNN, indicate that many different warnings were received by the administration. In addition, it has even been reported that the United States government broke Osama bin Laden's secure communications before Sept. 11. Sadly, the United States government is being sued today by survivors of the U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa because, from court reports, it appears clear that the United States had received warnings, but did little to secure and protect the staff at our embassies.

Did the same thing happen to us again?

I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of Sept. 11. A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case. For example, it is known that President Bush's father, through the Carlyle Group, had -- at the time of the attacks -- joint business interests with the bin Laden family's construction company and many defense industry holdings, the stocks of which have soared since Sept. 11.

On the other hand, what is undeniable is that corporations close to the administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of Sept. 11. The Carlyle Group, DynCorp and Halliburton certainly stand out as companies close to this administration.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld maintained in a hearing before Congress that we can afford the new spending, even though the request for more defense spending is the highest increase in 20 years.

All the American people are being asked to make sacrifices. Our young men and women in the military are being asked to risk their lives in our war against terrorism while our president's first act was to sign an executive order denying them high deployment overtime pay.

The American people are being asked to make sacrifices by bearing massive budget cuts in the social welfare of our country, in the areas of health care, Social Security and civil liberties for our enhanced military and security needs arising from the events of Sept. 11. It is imperative that they know fully why we make the sacrifices. If the secretary of defense tells us that his new military objectives must be to occupy foreign capital cities and overthrow regimes, then the American people must know why.

It should be easy for this administration to explain fully to the American people in a thorough and methodical way why we are being asked to make these sacrifices and if, indeed, these sacrifices will make us more secure. If the administration cannot articulate these answers to the American people, then the Congress must.

This is not a time for closed-door meetings and secrecy. America's credibility, both with the world and with her own people, rests upon securing credible answers to these questions. The world is teetering on the brink of conflicts while the administration's policies are vague, wavering and unclear.

Major financial conflicts of interest involving the president, the attorney general, the vice president and others in the administration have been and continue to be exposed.

This is a time for leadership and judgment that is not compromised in any fashion. This is a time for transparency and a thorough investigation. ___

That about sums it all up... She has no evidence OF ANYTHING.
She is just trying (and doing a bad job of it) to attack the Republicans. And it is so silly that even 100% of members of her own party want nothing to do with her, because they don't want to look stupid too... Oh... but that's right... you believe her

Well ?

The Democrats are into more welfare and free handouts by the government. In additon, it was a Democrat President who pushed through Civil Rights legislation in the '60's. As the lowest bracket of our Socieo-Economic ladder is traditionally more minority-riddled than any other, many Blacks vote Democrat.

And you have trouble with this because...?

He has a sense of humor too. I don't think I've ever heard Colin say anything funny.

huh?

didn't you hear Powell last time in a press conference after he met Arafat ? he said it was was a productive meeting. If that's not a sense of humor , I don't know what is.

[Velociryx]

I think it's a fair question....why ARE our federal investigative agents being warned away from any kind of investigation?

Not saying the lady's not full of an awful lot of hot air, but....this was a pretty significant attack, and there have been numerous questions raised about the particulars.

It'd be nice to get answers TO those questions.

Because....it's a cult of victemology. Instead of standing up and doing something productive, they just vote for those who'll be happy to perpetuate the system that keeps them on the lowest rung of the economoic ladder. (That's what Welfare does.)

It also hacks me off that so many prominent Blacks believe that the Republican is a racist political party, never you mind that from 1860-1880, they freed the slaves, rammed civil rights amendments down the throat of the South, and kept things desegregated.,


grr...

[WFHermans]

Eh Lonestar...answer McKinney....and btw the Republicans didn't free the slaves, Lincoln only freed them in CSA he had not conquered. Which is about as meaningful as Roosevelt declaring in 1943 that "henceforth, hereon (blah blah) all jews in german concentrationcamps will be FREE!". There were slavestates fighting with the north and they kept their slaves. And did you know that Lincoln was a racist who wanted to send all negroes to Africa after he would be re-elected? Lucky he got the booth.
