If Kerry becomes President, will he investigate Bush and 911? Will Kerry investigate Diebold and the voting machines?

Has Kerry said anything publically about Diebold, or Bush's dealing with the terrorists from BCCI, who have connections to the people behind 911?

Will it turn out any better than his investigations of Iran Contra and BCCI?

2. Will he unseal Reagan's records?
Will we finally get the truth about the crimes committed by the guy who the republicans want to replace FDR on the dime with?

That's what I want to know.

Well, that and what are we going to rename the DC airport and that aircraft carrier once the truth is out.

4. Well, since I can predict the future...
... oh wait, that would be talking out of my ass.

Here are is a press releases where Kerry discusses his views on voting:
http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/releases/pr_2003_1206b.html

But since this thread will consist of sheer speculation and conjecture, it is probably inappropriate to post here.

5. Only if we win the House and Senate can you bring "Political Criminals" to
justice. Dems need to go all out to win in a landslide otherwise
it is going to be painfully slow to change things.

6. That's correct
if the Senate and House remain the way they are it will be difficult.
If there is a change in Congress then a resounding "Yes he will".

8. Kerry said that he would call for an investigation of Diebold before GE.
Edited on Sun Feb-08-04 04:02 PM by oasis
This was during a political rally early last month. It was televised.

9. Well, he fought to declassify Reagan and Bush papers on BCCI, IranContra
and their illegal wars in Central America...so, it stands to reason that Kerry has Gary Hart, Rand Beers, Joe Wilson and Eliot Spitzer on his team for a DAMN GOOD REASON.

11. then why the investigations into BCCI and Iran Contra?
If Kerry isn't a conspiracy kook, why did he spend so much time investigating the conspiracies in BCCI and Iran Contra?

12. Those were not unsubstantiated conspiracy theories cooked up
by conspiracy nut case kooks. They were real crimes.

16. I don't understand where you got lost.
The question was:

"If Kerry isn't a conspiracy kook, why did he spend so much time investigating the conspiracies in BCCI and Iran Contra?"

I responded:

"Those were not unsubstantiated conspiracy theories cooked up by conspiracy nut case kooks. They were real crimes"

Nowhere in there did I say anything about the WTC. How you came to that conclusion baffles me.

But to answer your question, no, of course not. I don't think the destruction of the WTC was a kooky conspiracy. Sheesh!

17. perhaps because I asked if Kerry would investigate 911
and your response was the Kerry isn't a conspiracy kook, which is why he is winning. I asked a question about 911 - you said Kerry isn't a conspiracy kook ... So, what is your point exactly?

19. What Is Your Point, Sir?
What do you imagine such an investigation would reveal?

14. So was the governments obvious involvement in 9/11 and
their foot dragging into any investigation into what happened. What does Kerry say about that?

18. The foot dragging in the 911 investigation rest soley with the
Bush administration. THEY are the ones stonewalling that investigation.

I'm not familiar with any specific comments from Kerry on the White House stonewalling on this issue.

15. You know who else called Kerry a "conspiracy kook?" Dick Cheney.
The Sneer himself called Kerry a conpsiracy nut for bringing up the stuff about LaPenca, John Hull, Ollie North, Manuel Noriega, George Bush, the Iran-contra high command, cocaine and BCCI. Not bad, eh WCTV?

Here's a historical perspective:

Aiding Contras good; using money from Iran bad

As vice chairman of the House committee investigating the Iran-contra scandal, Cheney fervently defended the Reagan administration, saying it made a mistake but broke no laws in selling arms to Iran and using proceeds from the sale to equip the contras. Cheney candidly admits that his main concern in the hearings was that the scandal not derail efforts to aid the contras.


Source: Scott Farris, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, p.8 Jul 2, 1989

BTW: Anyone got a link to the original article?

Hey, Sneer! Takes one to know one!

23. Not a chance, he's got friends who are as guilty as *...
Edited on Sun Feb-08-04 07:35 PM by sleipnir
There's bound to be many of Kerry's friends that turn up in the 9-11 secret docs, not to mention the already public connections that Kerry has to many of the players. I'm almost certain we'll see another "whitewash" of the events from Kerry's office. The New World Order is neither Republican nor Democrat, they just are who they are and Kerry and Bush, and friends, are both linked to that order.

24. Kerry is a milquetoast, the Alan Colmes of Dem. Presidential Candidates
Witness his conduct when Jennings asked the "deserter" question to Clark. What did Kerry do? He attacked Clark for not distancing himself from the allegation. In essense, he defended BUSH from those mean Democrats!

Don't expect any courage from Kerry in investigating the many crimes of the Bush Administration.
