Ann,
Re: amazing to me that someone with your highly selective moral code is not ranting about Saddam Hussein's brutality
The White House, dishonestly, still maintains information on its website about the 500 tons of Sarin gas, the anthrax, the other WMDs that Iraq purportedly had before we invaded and illegally occupied Iraq.
As you must be aware of by now, David Kay, the CIA man in charge of finding the WMDs stated that 'we almost certainly were wrong' about the WMDs. He's admitting that those of us who said before the war that Bush was going into war under false pretenses were correct.
The standard joke about all the chemical and biological weapons is that "of course we know he's got 'em, because we saved the receipts!" It is a matter of public record that five branches of the U.S. government and over two dozen U.S. corporations sold Iraq WMD equipment, precursors, cultures and expertise throughout the 1980s.
It is also a matter of public record that in the fall of 2002 when Saddam Hussein's government sent a 12,000 page response to a UN request for information on WMDs that the U.S. immediately stole that document when it arrived in New York and illegally took it to Washington where it was redacted with only 4,000 less incriminating pages being returned to the non-permanent members of the Security Council in New York. The other 8,000 pages contained much damning material naming names of Western corporations and governments (include the U.S.) who cooperated in creating Hussein's weapons program.
Doesn't it trouble you that you've been sold a phony bill of goods about the WMDs? Doesn't it trouble you that your government stole the document in order to hide its own complicity?

As regards Bin Laden, here's an important question for you to answer in order for me to gauge how sophisticated you are. What was the first year that the Bin Laden Family invested in George W. Bush? Bonus points for knowing facts about the middleman.

Finally, here's some material I presented to Top Cat that you might equally want to start to familiarize yourself with before you naively carry on about bogeymen and spooks and phantoms that you see threatening this nation. Personally, I feel much more threatened knowing that NORAD/USAF stood down on 9/11, and has been stonewalling and frustrating investigators ever since. Now that ought to be much more troubling to you than some 6'6" sickly Arab tied to a dialysis machine in a remote cave in outback Afghanistan.

The story of 9/11 is being suppressed by the White House. Why? What are they trying to hide? The truth, obviously. But what is the truth? I think it is a lot uglier than you seem willing to admit. |
