In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Cheney: Romney Only Man Qualified To Lead During Crisis Like 9/11 [View all]progressivebydesign
(19,458 posts)3. I've never been a conspiracy type, but the "branding" of 9/11 was too convenient.
Beyond the things I read about 9/11, the thing that always bothered me was how perfectly 9/11 was marketed by Bush and pals. Why didn't it happen on 423 or something totally not in the American vocabulary and so easily used politically by them. I just was never sure that AQ would actually choose that date for its significance, it always felt like a product branding that was FAR too easily and quickly used by the right.
Is that weird to say?

They're getting desperate, when they pull the 9/11 out of the hat, after Obama killed OBL.
