Al >we well know that Clinton had a long list of dead people surrounding his rise to power.

Yes, I do remember reading various lists and, I can comment that, the less someone liked Clinton, the longer was his particular list.

For what it's worth, I don't have any particular regard for the Democrats --- or the Republicans, for that matter. The Democrats owe their "power" to buying votes from the unemployed, particularly the blacks, and the Republicans get theirs from corrupt big-business by doing its bidding. People seem to think, because I am so critical of Bush & Co, that I therefore must be a Democrat supporter. That's absolutely untrue. If anything, I'm a Libertarian --- if that means anything these days.

>They told us Bush was a staggering, bumbling clown coming in. Now he's a formidable, ruthless professional hitman. The incongruity we're expected to believe here is ludicrous.

With all due respect, Alan, there's no doubt that Bush had the most unbelievable build-up to the election. I had never ever heard a President-elect making so many stupid statements. In fact, I don't believe he had ever been outside of the US. At times one found it hard believing he had been to school let alone university. However, let me say that, in the end, I preferred him to Gore and I'm not even talking about Gore's side-kick, that self-righteous, two bit rabbi from the Bronx, who carries on like he's the Pope. In fact, I, too, was suckered into believing that Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest were decent guys. It was only when they were in power that they took off their masks and revealed their true intentions --- but still not their identities. Colon Powell managed to dupe me the longest but eventually his disguise also fell off. In the circumstances, I am still quite partial to Bush, much as I was to Reagan. Dubya is not an offensive guy and, in fact, I think he's often quite amusing especially if one doesn't take him too seriously. But, as the President of the US, well that's another story altogether.

>a formidable, ruthless professional hitman.

No, not Bush but how about Perle, his close adviser, and all the other "neo-cons", "chicken-hawks" and Macbeths lurking in the darkness. In my own experience, if there's one kind of person to fear that is an academic, who writes many papers and books, who is ambitious, who knows everything, has a vivid imagination, and who takes himself too seriously. A real mother's boy with a hatred of his father. And, possibly also, a penis envy. And, I have to say, those are the people who surround GWB. The Pentagon and the true military establishment are like lambs compared to those guys.

>if you were to tell me that some scumbag internationalists that got their hooks in the US presidency had something to do with it, I might bite

Yes, I know you are referring to the NWO, whoever they are, but, IMO, the bad guys are home-grown in the good ole US of A. And, to make it worse, they carry on like they're the good guys. You know the story about power corrupting.....

>I would not have boarded a small plane in that kind of weather. Two pilots had to be complete morons

I accept what you say. There were, of course, more than enough bad circumstances to account for the plane coming down without having to invoke sabotage. I submitted the reference because I thought it was interesting to see how others felt.

Political assassinations are nothing new in the US. Why does the consideration focus on Bush himself? Or any of those surrounding him? Everybody answers to somebody and Bush and so many around him are puppet's to a higher order in my opinion. So who are the puppeteer's, oilmen, bilderberg etc? They may have concerns about someone being a threat to THEIR BOY and take actions to reduce or eliminate such threats.
Just like a "Punch & Judy" show and we never do see who's hand is up their backside.
