The Handling of 9/11

ItemImage

There is credible evidence that the Bush administration either knew about the impending attack and did nothing about it OR planned and carried out the attack to frame Osama bin Laden in the guise of attacking Afghanistan in a prearranged attack in order to get at the oil in that country that they couldn't get to by trying to get it from the Taliban. The Taliban wouldn;t geive our government the oil rights so we decided to get it from them with a curtain of bombs with the 9/11 attacks fueled by the foreign countries intel that bin Laden was going to attack the US trying to use airplanes flying into the WTCs. So the govenrment set up the 9/11 attack and war in Afghanistan months in advance. They killed thousands of innocents to get at the Afghani oil.

OK, calmly, thoughtfully, reasonably. Credible evidence he "either knew about OR planned . . ." Well, which is it. Evidence is evidence. But, here's your real challenge. What would be the "formal accusation" to be deliberated and voted on by the House of Representatives? Not a court of law, the republican-controlled (for now) House. Admittedly, you'd only need a majority to impeach and send it to the Senate, but it's still a tall order. Suppose you are able to somehow garner a majority vote (for something) in the House. Now, it goes to the Senate for a trial, with John Roberts presiding. You now need a two thirds majority to convict and remove from office. Come on. Put away the pipe dream. This entire discussion is a waste of space. The idea that Bush knew about or (what's really laughable) PLANNED (!!!) the attack is so preposterous only 1% of the entire American pollity (that lovable lunatic, liberal fringe) even considers it a remote possibility. People who have lived their entire lives under oppressive dictatorships and constant propaganda are rolling their eyes saying, "Come on!! " The only people who believe this are that fringe group who want it to be true. If it weren't for this, they'd be clamoring for impeachment based on his mis-handling of the Iraq War (oh, wait, they are) or the War in Afghanistan, or his approval of the eavesdropping on American citizens communicating with al Qaeda operatives while we are at war. Let me get this straight, FDR was a great man and a great president, but Bush needs to be impeached.
