Bush/Cheney 1984 is engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the American public

AS,

While I'm generally in agreement with you that Bush/Cheney 1984 is engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the American public, there are some factual errors that you might consider correcting for the sake of becoming impervious to attacks on your credibility from the Right.

Bush was guilty of ignoring terrorism prior to 9-11

Yes and no. Bush ignored the NSA briefings that Sandy Berger provided to Condo-sleaza Rice which set out the clear-headed and intelligent Clinton Administration policy of containment of the al Qaeda threat. This containment is always ignored by the RWEs, because it is inconvenient to the Right to point out that 9/11 happened on their watch.

However, your accusation that Bush ignored the intelligence prior to 9/11 does not go nearly far enough. In actuality, Bush was guilty of purposefully frustrating efforts to infiltrate, investigate and incarcerate the members of the purported al Qaeda terrorist ring. This active participation in the conspiracy to bring down the World Trade Center towers is the subject of a lawsuit being brought by Judicial Watch on behalf of FBI Special Agent Richard Wright, and it was the subject of the testimony of FBI Special Agent Colleen Rowley on the matter of FBI supervisory interference with ongoing investigations.

Re: including a warning about imminent airjackings on 8-5.

You are off by one day. The Kean Commission has been trying for months to get access to the President's Daily Briefing for August 6, 2001. This document is purported to contain explicit warnings of imminent terrorist attacks on America which Bush failed to act upon.

Re: It probably relates to the fact that the phony energy crisis could not have been pulled off without some complicity by the Saudis.

Now here you have lost me. The "phony energy crisis" TTBOMK was a West Coast phenomenon based on the manipulation of the California energy markets by fraudsters like Enron, Dynegy, El Paso, Portland General Electric (an Enron subsidiary), Duke Energy, Reliant, Southern Cos. and several other key Bush supporters. However it was related to electricity and natural gas manipulation and not crude oil manipulation. So I don't see how the Saudis play into what appears to me to be a completely domestic Republican swindle of the public.

Re: And remember the Saudis and Kuwaitis owed the Bushes and Cheney big-time for the Gulf War.

As we all do. If Bush and Cheney hadn't snookered Saddam Hussein into thinking the U.S. would allow Iraq to punish the royal family in Kuwait for stealing Iraq's oil, Saddam would have never attacked and the world would have missed a really good war. We have George Bush 41 to thank for that stupendous media fraud.

Re: Also such tidbits as the fact that all major Bushies have made $$$ from the Saudis in one way or another.

The Bushes made money off not only the Saudis, but also the Nigerians, the Kuwaitis, Qatar, the UAE, Indonesia, Brunei among others.

The petroleum producing countries that didn't play ball with (and bribes to) the Bush family, i.e. Iraq, Iran, Venezuela (since Chavez took office) and Libya all ended up on America's enemies list. There is a pattern here. Any nation that attempts to use its oil wealth for the benefit of its own public is immediately an enemy of America.
Any nation that doesn't pay tribute to the Bush family is manipulated in the media into appearing to be an enemy of America, when in fact these are merely honest nations that don't want to pay bribes to the Bushies.
