James > Do you know anyone big enough to take on Uncle Sam? The only ones who could do it are the Americans themselves. No-one else. But before that happens they must want to. Nevertheless, we have to hope for the best. Although this 9-11 commission is surely like all the others (eg Warren about JFK, Hutton in the UK), namely a cover-up and white-wash, something unexpected may happen which the government overlooked or can't control and which really upsets the people and provokes them into action. > would love to see someone prove that their is complicity between the gov and the terrorists However one chooses to view it, something strange certainly went on. And something which has a very bad smell about it. Of course, I do understand how the American people feel and that they certainly do not want to think badly about their government or president. However, as an outsider and foreigner, if you permit me the liberty to say so, I feel the present administration is surely one of the worst ever. Unfortunately, to change or improve it is easier said than done. Meanwhile, we can watch movies like this informationclearinghouse.info

James > I would love to see someone prove that their is complicity between the gov and the terrorists Here's another "insider" who tells the same story that the present administration deliberately "bungled" the war on terrorism. There has to be a serious reason for this break in continuity from the policy of the previous administration which no-one can understand. Therefore, failing any "real" evidence to the contrary, one has to believe there was complicity between Bush and bin Laden. democracynow.org >>>In March 2002, six months after President Bush announced the war on terror, an unusual military decision was made: the military's specialists hunting for Osama bin Laden were reassigned. According to Flynt Leverett, who was serving in the National Security Council at the time, the Bush administration pulled off Arabic-speaking Special Forces and CIA officers from the hunt and gave them a new assignment: Iraq. Leverett told the Washington Post last week, "[Richard] Clarke's critique of administration decision-making and how it did not balance the imperative of finishing the job against al Qaeda versus what they wanted to do in Iraq is absolutely on the money." He went on to say "We took the people out who could have caught them.<<< Why? Here's some old stuff. americanfreepress.net >>>Osama embraced Islamic fundamentalism and is now the world's most wanted man. "Salem went on to become a business partner of the man who is leading the hunt for his brother," the Daily Mail's Peter Allen said. "In the 1970s, he and George W. Bush were founders of the Arbusto Energy oil company in Mr. Bush's home state of Texas." President Bush and the bin Laden family have been connected through dubious business deals since 1977, when Salem, the head of the bin Laden family business, one of the biggest construction companies in the world, invested in Bush's start-up oil company, Arbusto Energy, Inc. James R. Bath, a friend and neighbor, was used to funnel money from Osama bin Laden's brother, Salem bin Laden, to set up George W. Bush in the oil business, according to The Wall Street Journal and other reputable sources. Through a tangled web of Saudi multi-millionaires, Texas oilmen, and the infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce International, Bush was financially linked with the bin Laden family until Salem met an untimely end in a freak flying accident near San Antonio in 1988.<<<
