The 9/11
Commission Report is out now and it’s just as anyone watching
closely could have expected: This year’s version of The
Warren Commission Report- -Institutionalized fiction intended to be
remembered as history. Ten
stuffed shirts- -and blouses- -all Beltway Insiders- -have concluded
what everybody already knew: That a bunch of Arabs hijacked some planes
and flew them into buildings, or, in one case, the ground, because
heroic Americans took charge of a situation and diverted a plane from
its intended course. Too
bad those same kinds of heroes don’t work at the CIA, the FBI, the NSA
or any of the other 15 Spook Groups.
I mean if ordinary citizens who were relaxing as passengers on a
domestic flight could spring into action- -action in which they
ultimately sacrificed their own lives to save politicians- -why in the
name of Jack Squat can’t the politicians get it together and get it
right? Immediately
after declaring in the report that Congress has to act NOW in order to
assure the country will be safer, Congress moved to adjourn for six
weeks and go back to their districts to campaign for November.
What kind of a disconnect is that? My
congressman better not show up here and hold some kind of town meeting
all about what he’s doing, because if he does, I will personally go
and demand that he go back to Washington and get back to work.
I’ll drive him to the airport myself right then and there.
Actually, due to the outcry on this, there are now reports that
they will go back. But
wait a minute. This is what
we are supposed to think and feel.
What if there was another explanation for it all?
As in- -“Be Afraid. BE
VERY VERY AFRAID.” Be
afraid enough to vote for the WAR PRESIDENT one more time, because we
are at war, and he knows how to be at war.
He learned it in the Alabama National Guard.
During his time there, Alabama was never attacked- -although
Mississippi had plans on the drawing board. Now,
G W Dunce, instead of Alabama, you is up against Allah, Boomer. What
if the reason Little Mr Storytime didn’t stop reading to the kids in
Florida for seven whole minutes after an aide told him we were under
attack was because he already knew it was going to happen?
There have been comparisons to this attack and Pearl Harbor.
It is pretty well established now that Roosevelt had perhaps as
much as forty-eight hours notice that the attack would take place and
did nothing because he needed to have an incident that would force the
country to go to war, which he wanted and knew was inevitable, even
though it was not generally a universally popular notion at that time. Now
before you tell me that Junior Bush is no Roosevelt, let me just say
“DUH”! But the point is
that Junior knew this was coming and so did NOT jump up in surprise.
He knew he too needed an incident that would force the country to
go to war, so he was in no hurry to finish reading the My
Pet Goat to the seven-year-olds.
Heck, he was enjoying the fact that they had actually given him a
book he could read. News
reports said that the president, who has gone for a vacation at his
Crawford, Texas ranch, would be reading the 9/11 Report.
In truth, Dick Cheney will be reading it to him.
But
Wee Georgie wasn’t planning to go to war the way Roosevelt was,
against the actual enemies of the day, Germany and Japan.
No, Georgie Boy had already picked his target before 9/11, even
though it was the wrong one. Well,
okay- -Afghanistan was the right choice to go after bin Laden, but Iraq?
It is pretty well documented now that a war with Iraq was on the
drawing boards from Day One of this administration.
So when most of the hijackers turned out to be Saudis, with
financing channeled through Iran, not Iraq, it mattered not.
I have called this “A War Of Reelection” several times. I
think it more and more every day. See,
terrorism only works if people are terrorized.
More people were killed on 9/11 than at Pearl Harbor, true, BUT-
-even MORE people are killed every year by traffic accidents, cigarette
smoke, obesity-related maladies, or any of a dozen other causes.
Are you terrorized by any of these?
No. So get over it.
You have a better chance of being hit by lightning.
With less money than a couple of TV commercials cost on the
Nightly News, Al Qaeda has sent the Western World into a tizzy- -or so
the news reports nightly. Just
as Czar Nicholas, Kaiser Willhem, and the British royal family were all
related, so too are the Bushes and the bin Ladens, we know that now, if
not by blood, by blood money. If
Islamist extremists are going to try to force us back to the fourteenth
century, then I nominate Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell to lead the
charge of the Light Brigade against them.
Oh wait- -the Light Brigade got slaughtered- -so you can just
“Crimea River Over You”. Oh
wait- -How about Osama and Jimmy Swaggart singing “Allah Be Down To
Get You In A Taxi Honey”? Be
Afraid. BE VERY VERY
AFRAID. So
now we know there are a bunch of idiots in Washington.
We needed a Commission Report for that? I
can only quote Mark Twain, who a hundred years ago said: “ Suppose you
are an idiot. Now suppose
you are a Congressman. Ah,
but I repeat myself.” Nothing
changes. And unfortunately
for those deeply involved in all of this, this changes nothing. Have
a good summer vacation and enjoy the Political Conventions on TV.
I’m sure they’ll be full of surprises too.
