Karl Rove's "Understanding of 9/11"
While I covered this article on Friday, it was brought to my attention that I had not read this article in the right context. The author of this article, Kristen Breitweiser, is not just any contributor to The Huffington Post, but a founding member of the Jersey Girls, and one of the only reasons a 9/11 Commission was ever founded. She was a Bush supporter in 2000 and as is apparent in this article now has a disgust for his administration and their use of 9/11. With that new context in mind I suggest you read, or re-read, this article with that in mind.

Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, etc. would be nowhere without 9/11. It is plain and simple. Without 9/11 Rumsfeld wouldn't have his war in Iraq, and without 9/11 Cheney wouldn't have his trans-afghan pipeline. In fact, I can't even imagine a single thing this administration could have gotten done without 9/11. The article below points out this administration's failures in the war on terrorism, definitely worth the read.

The Right-Wing Response to 9/11: All Talk, No Results

Whenever the president'’s domestic agenda hits rock bottom —like clockwork right-wingers trot out the 9/11 card to distract people from wildly unpopular policy decisions. On Wednesday, the president'’s chief political architect, Karl Rove, claimed: '“Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.' We'’ll never know his exact motives, but perhaps the president'’s self-described '“Turd Blossom'” was projecting the administration'’s own need for counseling to make up for its complete lack of success in fighting terrorism.

September 11th Advocates: Statement Regarding 9/11 Commission Hearings

..
The "watchlisting issue" has been reported by the media and the 9/11 Commission as a series of benign oversights, a sort of institutional competitiveness gone awry, and/or a gross misunderstanding of evidentiary standards in criminal/intelligence investigations. We disagree. A careful review of the aforementioned footnotes reveals a pattern of behavior during the 18 months immediately preceding the 9/11 attacks that was arguably criminal-in-nature and contributory-in-part to the "catastrophic success" of the 9/11 plot.

I have said a few times that the more and more frustrated the American public becomes with the current administration over Iraq, loss of freedoms, etc. the more the American public questions the events of 9/11.

And that makes complete sense.

Look at the wars we are in, look at the aggressive policies of this administration, the loss of personal freedoms, the climate of fear, the encroachment on personal privacy, torture of prisoners, it all ties back to 9/11.

This administration wanted 9/11 so that they could motivate the populace to war, and now that that war is falling apart and people are waking up to the corruption perhaps people will start to realize why no planes intercepted on 9/11, how those '19' attacked the most protected building in America, and why Bush sat in that Florida classroom without being evacuated, it's because they knew all about it.
