I Demand a Freaking Answer!!
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 03:36 PM by The Whiskey Priest
Is someone still on the trail of and how close are we to finding out who is the Anthrax Killer?

Is anyone trying to find out who leaked the classified information that Chalabi gave to the Iranians?

Has the ABM system hit anything and how much money is down the rat hole on that system?

How many people actual died in New Orleans from the Hurricane?

Where are the Iraqi munitions that were stolen from bunkers Bush failed to protect?

How many Iraqis have died and been injured during this war?

Where have the Iraqi scientists that were working on Saddam’s WMDs gone?

Who were the translators Sibel Edmonds identified that were incorrectly translating?

What happened to the Mars project?

When is Ken Lay going to trial?


Jez, the Bush era is spawning more questions than the Kennedy Assassination, the Roswell Incident and Amelia Earhert.

6. Here are some more:
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 03:24 PM by LoKnLoD
What is on the video from the gas station outside the pentagon on 9/11 that was confiscated by the FBI five minutes after the plane(?) crashed into the building?

What was Cheney's Energy Task Force meeting really about and why can't we get access to any information about it?

Why wouldn't Condi testify for 9/11 Commission until forced to.

Why do Bush and Cheney always have to testify together and not under oath (9/11 and Plamegate)?

7. Wouldn't you really rather have an update on the OJ case?
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 03:23 PM by SpiralHawk
Because its entirely likely that OJ Refresher is the kind of enterprise news the corporate media is working up for you.

Why not sit back, open up your pack of chocorations, and enjoy watching OJ get kicked around.

Big BushCo strongly recommends this kind of "news" for the souls of all proles (assuming proles have souls).

Assume the position.

40. Actually, the "correct" answer to each question is
"STFU, you anti-American scum"

But I would have also accepted

"It's Clinton's fault"

14. How goes Bush's investigation into the failures of Katrina?
Where's the map of Alaska stolen from the USGS?

What happened to 'czar' he was going to appoint to increase US manufacturing jobs?

What did Condi's Iraq Stablization Group ever do?

Why hasn't Ken Lay and the Enron bunch come to trial?

37. Huh?
Where's the map of Alaska stolen from the USGS?


Sorry, i'm not at all familiar with what you're referring to here, and a cursory Google search turned up nothing.

You've piqued my curiosity! Please elaborate! Is there a BushCo scandal I've missed???

43. Your question about the "czar",
"What happened to 'czar' he was going to appoint to increase US manufacturing jobs?"

I hope * doesn't appoint one. It's just be another highly paid crony of his.

And I don't think any "Czar" appointed by any President, Demopublican or Republicrat, is going to do anything to increase US manufacturing jobs. Unless you count burger-flipping jobs as manufacturing jobs.

15. Outstanding!
We should ask these questions every single day.

Imagine Bush at his next press conference, if a reporter asked even one of these questions directly.

For all the talk about the "return of the press corps," when faced with these questions, I think that proclamation is premature.

17. I have answers for you! I am Answer Genie!
1. Is someone still on the trail of and how close are we to finding out who is the Anthrax Killer?

Answer Genie: It was US weapons grade anthrax. Only something like 50 folks even ever had access to it. There is no 'trail' to be on. The culprits are fairly obvious. I mean, who else hates Tom Daschle and Dan Rather???

2. Is anyone trying to find out who leaked the classified information that Chalabi gave to the Iranians?

AG: Your government commands you to watch Entertainment Tonight!

3. Has the ABM system hit anything and how much money is down the rat hole on that system?

AG: Your government says yes and no, in one order or the other. Your government is about as accurate as a magic 8-ball.

4. How many people actual died in New Orleans from the Hurricane?

AG: Magic 8-ball says YOU'LL NEVER KNOW. The government doesn't much seem to think that the poor are people, so the answer is NONE.

5. Where are the Iraqi munitions that were stolen from bunkers Bush failed to protect?

AG: Either the pentagon or the insurgents have them.

6. How many Iraqis have died and been injured during this war?

AG: See answer #4 about the governments definition of 'people'.

7. Where have the Iraqi scientists that were working on Saddam’s WMDs gone?

AG: On a cruise to Atlantis

8. Who were the translators Sibel Edmonds identified that were incorrectly translating?

AG: Karl Rove says stop picking on his friends! Your government and the massive corporations for which they stand need you to STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. Only conspiracy theorists (I mean most-logical possibility-given-the-evidence theorists) are so bold as to ask questions.

Magic 8-Ball says, "Shut up or be jailed for treason."

The way I measure the months, it looks like there's a good chance that DeLay and Lay will be on trial at roughly the same time, perhaps in the same courthouse!

30. Missing from Saddam's UN Documents
Remember in the lead-up to the war in Iraq, when Saddam allowed UN inspectors in, and delivered to the UN on a CD full of documentation for its disposal of weapons?

The U.S. got the CD first and removed some sections from the very beginning.

What did the U.S. remove from Saddam Hussein's WMD Destruction CD?

I swear I didn't rip off your thread for my blog post today. I swear.

But we're clearly tuned into the same wavelength.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/06/03/terror/main620825.shtml

Wait. We've got 14 year old afghani pizza delivery boys rotting in Gitmo, but a terrorist with known connections to 9-11 can't be put on trial, or even held... must be deported- because a trial would 'endanger national security'?

Gee, that sounds weird.

I personally doubt that we will be able to compile a comprehensive list of similar questions, each equally valid, each requiring an answer in an open society.

There are so many that they spool through my mind so fast I cannot hold even one of them in coherent thought for more than a moment.
