This is the country that spent millions to recover all the parts of TWA flight 800 from the ocean floor and reconstruct it in order to find out what went wrong. 9/11? Nada.<br /><br />The eventual investigation was a whitewash. Bush couldn't be interviewed without Cheney holding his hand and under the restriction that no note-taking was allowed.Arthur Mervynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504229544539032232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-35917526944925837062011-09-21T19:15:43.861-04:002011-09-21T19:15:43.861-04:00Yah, but that was pretty much them not doing thing...Yah, but that was pretty much them <i>not</i> doing things. They were pretty good at <i>not</i> doing things, whether it was <i>not</i> taxing, <i>not</i> planning for the aftermath of the Iraq invasion, <i>not</i> catching Osama bin Laden, <i>not</i> holding a bidding process to determine who got military contracts. When it came to actually <i>doing</i> things, on the other hand... uhm, not so much.<br /><br />- Badtux the Negative vs. Positive PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-85932635179730903362011-09-21T19:07:24.580-04:002011-09-21T19:07:24.580-04:00The Bush administration was actually quite compete...The Bush administration was actually quite competent at putting this country in the shitter for decades.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-53472734220241924012011-09-21T18:05:19.503-04:002011-09-21T18:05:19.503-04:00The closest-to-plausible "truther" consp...The closest-to-plausible "truther" conspiracy theory that I've heard is that the aircraft in question had secret government "black boxes" installed in them that allowed them to be remote-controlled in the same way as those un-manned drones and were flown into the buildings, which were then downed by controlled demolitions because surely burning JP-8 wouldn't melt steel. Well, except <a href="http://petrogen.com/" rel="nofollow">you can buy a JP-8 powered cutting torch that will not only melt, but will *burn* steel</a>, but let's not let, well, actual <i>facts</i> interfere with a good conspiracy theory, right? <br /><br />So anyhow, that's the only plausible "the government dunnit" scenario. And it depends on a) the people who put those black boxes into place not being seen doing so and never letting it leak afterwards, b) the people who put those explosives into place not being seen doing so and never letting it leak afterwards, which in turn implies c) competence on the part of the Bush Administration. <br /><br />And that part (c) is where it all falls apart. We're talking about the BUSH ADMINISTRATION. The only thing they were ever competent at doing is letting their cronies get zero-bid contracts, and that's not exactly something that takes a lot of doing. So the thought that the Bush Administration could ever be competent enough to engineer something like this just causes me to ROFL because it just doesn't match ever fact we've ever known about the Bushies. Yes, the Busheviks were/are evil. But thankfully they were not <i>competent</i> evil... otherwise we'd be saying the Pledge of Allegience to President For Life Shrubbery right now.<br /><br />- Badtux the Laugh-and-giggle PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-8742262024029354402011-09-21T16:01:38.763-04:002011-09-21T16:01:38.763-04:00I think the 'truther' deal is a helluvan o...I think the 'truther' deal is a helluvan over-reach.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-13648287219102232242011-09-21T15:11:33.729-04:002011-09-21T15:11:33.729-04:00I knew about the WTC 7 debate, but not the Pentago...I knew about the WTC 7 debate, but not the Pentagon.<br /><br />There would have been bone fragments and luggage from the dead. Weren't there forensic experts used to verify the identities of the Pentagon dead?<br /><br />The boarding list and the time of takeoff and the time of the crash would have been definitely reconstructable even if the flight recorders were destroyed. Minute by minute accounting of the flight would have not have been hard to do. There shouldn't have been time to land and unload the passengers.<br /><br />One smelly little thing is that there had been a program in place to get all of the Saudis out of the US. That didn't just happen. It was planned. They were home in Saudi Arabia before the Americans came out of shock. Why it was planned and by whom I have no clue.<br /><br />That has to have left a paper trail that would lead directly back to the planners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-84988554233356741312011-09-21T14:11:08.985-04:002011-09-21T14:11:08.985-04:00Huh.
