Just a little reminder...

[SHRED]

...as if we need one.

15 of the 19 hijackers, on 9-11, were Saudi Arabian.

1. And Your Point Is What, Sir?

3. This sums it up well...

...from another discussion group.

In other words the American public was duped into thinking that "shock and awe" was payback for 9-11.
That is why I posted the reminder.

"I went to a cemetary on Thanksgiving to pay my respects.

While doing so, I found a tombstone of a 22 year old soldier who gave his life to
' Operation Iraqi Freedom "

I can't fully describe the frustration I feel for what has happened to our country.

Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of this PNAC cabal wrote this " shock and awe' plan to enhance the political images. They knew that their ' don't mess with Texas ' attitude would coalese with a lust for a mindless 9/11 lust for revenge by many Americans

Shock and Awe was a national infomercial for the Bush--branded New American Century.

"Operation Iraqi Freedom" were imposed on the military by Bush's corporate public relations experts. Militaries seek victory, then parades. Political spin masters are predators of the mind. MSM flacks like Fox news keep the audience in thrall for the longest possible period of time -- no duration is beyond their ambitions for advertising dollars.

The Bush WH was confident that a public deluded enough to believe, in the absence of any evidence, that Saddam Hussein "had something to do with" the events of September 11 is a population eager to commit any outrage

General Tommy Franks' assurances fueled the hoax that the U.S. will "certainly" find evidence of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq

The ' Coalition of the Willing ' or the MSM hacks such as ABC's John McWethy promoted the stories with this report: "Amidst all the fighting, one important new discovery: U.S. officials say, up the road from Nasarijah, in a town called Najaf, they believe that they have captured a chemical weapons plant and perhaps more important, the commanding general of that facility. One U.S. official said he is a potential 'gold mine' about the weapons Saddam Hussein says he doesn't have."

And there is more- NBC's Tom Brokaw described the story thusly: "Word tonight that U.S. forces may have found what U.N. inspectors spent months searching for, a facility suspected to be a chemical weapons plant, uncovered by ground troops on the way north to Baghdad." NBC Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski added what seemed to be corroborating details: "This huge chemical complex... was constructed of sand--casted walls, in other words, meant to camouflage its appearance to blend in with the desert. Once inside, the soldiers found huge amounts of chemicals, stored chemicals.
Yet no chemical weapons were found. The Pentagon said it could not "determine exactly what these chemicals are or how they could have been used in weapons."

I am incredibly outraged how the Bush WH perpetrated the greatest fraud ever on Americans in response to 9/11.

This is the legacy of George W Bush

The blood and limbs of thousands of Americas best is on his hands. And hundreds of thousands innocent iraqi's.

One day, I hope this Bush PNAC cabal has their meeting with justice and human decency."

8. Thank You For The Clarification, Sir

People do sometimes run in odd directions with this....

[acmejack]

4. I had hoped you were going to contribute to the conversation.

Not merely challenge the OP for the sport of it- Sir.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Why don't you explain YOUR point first, Sir?

[The Magistrate]

9. My Point, Ma'am?

To try and avoid any necessity of sending this down to the September 11 forum.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Cheney is going to meet with the Saudis

I think that makes this topic and this picture very relevant and appropriate for this forum.

But then I am not a mod. And if I was, I think I would be making decisions about moving threads without asking posters to clarify their motives. I have never seen a mod do that here - until now.

[elehhhhna]

11. Me neither. Cool.

although the Mag's Vincent Price writing style makes me feel defensive. Why is that?

[JNelson6563]

12. Not to worry

The OP doesn't seem to question the truthiness of the Official Version so it's safe here.

2. Cheney is in Saudi Arabia meeting with Abdullah?

[DesertRat]

5. Hopefully Cheney is discussing

the plight of the rape victim who has been sentenced to 90 lashes.

6. Nominated!

No need to fill me in on why you posted this.

Those damn bastards.

13. Curious

Yes, I saw this too that Cheney is meeting with Prince Bandar. At a time when the Iraq "war" (occupation) is turning in a very bad direction that Cheney is the one to meet with Bandar. Curiousor

Is this to cover the news that the Carlyle Group has bid to purchase American ports? Even more curious.

So many of the Bush/Cheney goings on are hidden by these other stories it is hard to keep track of them. How does this meeting tie in with the oil business?

More curious all the time.
