Moore smells a lawsuit!

Maybe now that OBL says he did 9/11, we can lay to rest all the other nonsense conspiracy theories floating around. Maybe it wasn't Dubya or the Joooooz.

Original reports said bin Laden's tape was 18 minutes long. The transcript is much shorter than would be expected for 18 minutes.

Why the discrepancy?

I have to say that everything OBL said in his tape was essentially right on the monery. I hate him for killing over 2000 of us (and there are those who believe Bush knew beforehand of the impending attack) but his reasons for attacking us from an objective standpoint is rational. We need to stop beign assholes in the world serving our piggish corporations.

Moore wasn't the first to notice Bush in the classroom for 7 minutes like a deer in headlights. It was on the internet(s) for months before he got ahold of it.

Blame the people responsible: Bush, Cheney and Rove!

Yes, everyone make sure they've gotten this straight: Osama wants to commit genocide against the Jews (and pretty much anyone else who's not Muslim), establish a global caliphate, and wipe out Western civilization, and who's at fault? Why, it's us, of course. And on top of that, the instant Bush heard about the attack, he didn't jump out of the chair, rip open his shirt to reveal a big red W on his chest, and fly off to save the towers--nor did he have a massive, instant panic attack in front of a bunch of grade schoolers. For both these things, Bush must burn!

How does anyone take this kind of crap seriously, let alone as a political platform of one of the major party's candidates? That will be a question for the ages.

George Bush sat for 7 minutes, or was it 6 minutes and 30 seconds? No, I think it was 7 minutes and 10 seconds. No, it was 6 minutes and 58 seconds.

Does a commander jump right out of his seat and act on compulsion, or does he sit there trying to think of what do to all the while he reads a little book to children?

Have you ever been the POTUS? Do you want someone to shoot of their mouth or worse act out of fear?

My logic tells me if a part of my country has just been blown up, well then I think I need a few minutes at the VERY LEAST to first, feel and imagine and then get up and go into a room and pull all of my possible ideas out of my head. Afterall, I just heard my country, your county is being invaded.

I better let that perk a little bit and gather what the strategy will be.

Smart move, ponder rationally. Gosh, even America's Mayor himself had to first get through the words he just heard about his city and then get going and figure it out all the while you have no idea what is coming next?

This book story is pitiful!

I have not seen Moore's film, although I will eventually.

I doubt it will change my opinion that it is possible for a President to continue a classroom visit with children for several minutes while his communications and support structure identifies and defines the problem. He himself does not direct, for example, how many planes deploy, or where and how emergency operations take place.

Over the years, I have been criticized for the tendency not to panic. I think it is a good quality in a leader as well. In Bush's case, they hadn't yet nailed down the situation.

So, Osama bin Ladin is going to make a "truce" with every state that votes for Kerry and promises further attacks against those that vote for Bush? It's clear that the fanatical enemy we face is afraid of neither John Kerry nor the Democratic leadership in this country. And who could blame them? It was under Pres. Bill Clinton that Osama's armies grew with impunity, attacking us and not being held accountable. Waging war against us, but not being dealt with as a wartime enemy, only a "police enforcement matter". I am not sorry to say that it was, in my opinion, primarily Bill Clinton's fault that 911 was enabled to occur. Although, it is fair to say that Pres. Jimmy Carter's inept "leadership" during the Iranian hostage crisis (444 days that will live in infamy) and Pres. Ronald Reagan's withdrawel from Beirut, Lebanon in the early 80's after the attack against the U.S. Marine barracks also emboldened our enemies. However, it was under Bill Clinton that Osama not only went unfettered and was able to gain strength and to more effectively organize, but who's repeated attacks against the U.S. having gone without any serious military response helped to support his propaganda to his disgruntled followers that America was weak and without the stomach to fight back. A fact that inspired his ranks to new heights of frenzy.

It never ceases to amaze me how utterly wrong and on the wrong side of history the Leftists in this country really are. Although, shamefully, my state went to Kerry/Edwards, I feel fully vindicated by the fact that this great visionary leader of a President was re-elected with such a comfortable margin, despite the idiotic, venomous rhetoric that has been spewing from the mouths of the Kerry/Edwards ticket and its campaign, the DNC and its hack pundits for the last two years. Despite the lies, deceits and distortions of the Leni Riefenstahl-like Michael Moore, particularly in connection with his pathetic propaganda tool (Fahrenheit 911), the deceitfullness of which has been incontrovertibly well-documented (http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fiftysix-Deceits-in-Fahrenheit-911.htm). Despite the crude, fanatical, rantings of the elitist entertainment industry. The victory made more sweet by the ejection from the Senate of the obstructionist, partisan creating architect Tom Daschle by his constituents.

The fact that there are still those who believe that somehow Pres. George W. Bush knew in advance of the 911 attacks and did nothing to stop them only underscores the reality that many of the Left in this country are so far removed from sane and otherwise rational debate, that they are perhaps beyond all hope of rescue.

Now armed with a greater majority in both the House and the Senate, hopefully the campaign of reform begun early in President Bush’s first term will be realized in his second. God bless George W. Bush! God bless America!
