Iraq/Bush/etc

[Guest guest]

Martin,

 

Just so you know, I am no Democrat and not even

American for that matter.

There -- that ought to fuel your engines some! That

is not really the

point. I just wanted to offer you and other people

on this list some

opportunities to access different sources of

information regarding recent

world events. You don't have to take up the offer.

We' re all free to get

the amount of knowledge that we each need to live.

Everybody is different

on that score. But there are a number of enduring

questions about 9-11

that are not answered by any big media outlet that I

am aware of. Here are

just a couple: why was there a meeting between Bin

Laden and a CIA agent in

Dubai in July 2001? The meeting was originally

reported by a French

newspaper and later denied by the State Department.

But what wasn't

reported in the US was that Le Figaro stood by their

account after the US

official denial and said that the information came

from French

intelligence. Given Bin Laden's past affiliation with

the CIA, I think

this is a cloud that hangs over a possible CIA link to

Al Qaeda. And then

there is the whole question of the slow response by

the Air Force to defend

Washington on 9-11. Why did it take over an hour to

scramble jets from

Andrews Air Force Base to intercept either Flight 93

or the plane that

crashed into the Pentagon -- especially after the WTC

had been hit and it

was surmised that this was an attack? And why did

these jets, once

scrambled, fly so slowly (less than 1/4 of their top

speed) that they could

not intercept any of the hikacked aircraft? This

whole question is far

more complex than I can do it justice -- it's best if

members go to the

site I mentioned before with the Thompson timeline and

check it for

themselves. Yes, there is a possibility that there was

a system-wide

failure of NORAD and the Air Force to respond. But is

that the only

explanation? I don't buy it, if only because so many

things had to have

gone wrong for that outcome to occur. So I do think

that the notion of a

"stand down" order given to the Air force on 9-11 has

to at least

entertained more seriously. The problem is that there

is no real

discussion of these questions anywhere in the media.

 

Iraq is a belligerent state in the region and Hussain

runs a dictatorial

police state. No news there. But they have very

little capability to

actually strike against other countries. Former US

weapons inspector Scott

Ritter has gone on record about this. And more

importantly, there has been

zero evidence of any Al Qaeda links with Iraq. For my

money, it's about

oil and creating a war atmosphere at home. The US has

a long term plan for

region that involves taking over several countries in

order to secure oil

supplies. They need some kind of pretext (weapons of

mass destruction) in

order to do this in some politically acceptable way of

course, because

statecraft and imperialism can no longer follow the

old crude ways. But

it's all the same game, only with a more sophisticated

audience.

 

America your phone is ringing

it is destiny calling

 

 

cheers,

Chris
