This is the best thing I've read in ages. Please send this far and wide.
http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/04/04/edi04024.htmlAs we mentioned in a previous editorial, don't expect much in the way of the 9/11 Commission outing the truth about the failure of the Bush Cartel to protect America from 9/11. It is a political body composed of Republicans and Democrats that will devise a politically compromised set of final conclusions. As we have also noted, there are more than enough facts and damning admissions by the Bush administration itself to come to the conclusion, without a 9/11 Commission, that the Bush Cartel at a minimum incompetently ignored repeated and urgent pleas to try and prevent a terrorist attack on our nation.
But beyond that, there is also emerging a possibility far more sinister. It is the theory that dares not be spoken because it implies such an unbelievable form of treason, the mention of it is still only tolerated on the fringe edge of conspiracy theories. This is, of course, the notion that some radical zealots in the Bush Administration deliberately ignored the threats of a terrorist attack -- perhaps not fully realizing its intended scale -- in order to receive the mandate to attack Iraq, seize its oil and install permanent military bases (14 to be exact). And that Iraq was meant to be only the first step in a plan to expand our military reach, force regime change in nations that resisted U.S. influence, and seize natural resources wherever possible.
Does BuzzFlash subscribe to such thinking? Let's just say that we are closer to entertaining such a possibility than we were a few months back. Anyone who connects the factually verifiable dots, not the Bush bullying and lying, would be hard put to rule it out, as extreme as the idea once appeared.
