9/11 Becomes Political Fodder for the State of the Union Address
Here are two tales of the same story, one from each side of the political spectrum, neither paying any attention to the actual story that a family member wants serious answers from this administration.
9/11 'truth' on their minds as Bush speaks tonight - NYDailyNews
President Bush won't be the only one making political points about 9/11 at tonight's State of the Union speech.
At least two New Yorkers invited to the address by state lawmakers will be there to illustrate their own, very different points.
"Let's see if we get some truth," said Monica Gabrielle, who lost her husband on Sept. 11, 2001, and will listen to Bush with Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
..
Gabrielle said she wants to hear Bush before she takes a stand on his speech.Clinton's spokesman said the senator invited Gabrielle to recognize her push for security improvements and for more information about the attacks - but also to remind the President of challenges that still face New York.
Bush-Bashing 9/11 Widow is Hillary Clinton's SOTU Guest - NewsMax
Bush-bashing 9/11 widow Monica Gabrielle will be Sen. Hillary Clinton's special guest tonight during President Bush's State of the Union address.
..
"Let's see if we get some truth," a hostile-sounding Gabrielle told the News.In the past, the 9/11 widow has accused Bush of exploiting the attacks for political purposes, calling the move "despicable."
"You know, this happened on his watch," she complained in 2003. "If he wants to show a picture of 9/11 depicting what he was doing [during the attacks], it should be a picture of him sitting and reading in a classroom to school children. That's where he was on 9/11."
I am soooo tired of the left and right using simple labels to discourage American's from caring (or even thinking) about 9/11 in a critical fashion. All they have to do is call someone 'the Michael Moore left' and half of the country will think the person is crazy, while the other half willfully ignore the subject. It's quite sad really.
Monica Gabrielle is a Co-Chairperson of the Skyscraper Safety Campaign, and has questioned exactly how two 110 story buildings (and WTC7) collapsed so incredibly fast. Apparently that makes her a 'Bush basher', to me that makes her a reasonable person.
So, in the State of the Union address tonight:
- How many seconds into the speech before Bush mentions 9/11 as a form of justification for an otherwise unacceptable policy?
- How many times will 9/11 be used as an excuse, justification, or fear tactic to encourage the continuation of this administration's policies?
- How much longer can this administration be allowed to use the 9/11 trump card while avoiding a truly independent investigation?
The speech starts at 9PM EST, feel free to post your comments here.

Imagine this
Imagine this scenario...
Monica: "Hi Mrs. Clinton... thank you for seeing me. I heard you were looking for 9/11 survivors to accompany you to the State Of The Union Address. I lost my husband. I would like to go with you to speak about certain things regarding 9/11. Why no one was held accountable, and how we can't let it happen again."
Sen. Clinton: "That's great Monica. Thanks for your support, and your willingness to speak your mind."
Monica begins her speech...
Monica: "I want to thank Senator Clinton for the opportunity to speak my mind in regards to 9/11.
My friends, I want it stated for the record. The Bush Administration orchestrated the attacks of 9/11 to further their political agenda."

re: how many seconds into the speech, are there shades of grey? For instance, how soon into the speech does he use the word 'terror,' or 'enemies'?
my guesses: 1) within 16-32
my guesses:
1) within 16-32 seconds (minus applause)
2) 4-6 times (i think it will be more vague references to 'terrorists' and 'enemies' as mentioned by bb)
any references to the war, or 9/11, etc. will be very black and white, with little solutions and primarily rhetoric.. although i am guessing if they are smart they will avoid much talk of the war at all and act as though domestic action will be the primary focus this year..

Not watching the NTSC slop feed, that is for sure.
I have Loose Change 2nd Edition cued up on my TAIS Tecra, with Divx, and fed into my Toshiba Tivo and DVD ripper, via S3 video, and a stereo plug to RCA jack for the audio...
Right now it is paused while I manually invoke "record", then I will watch, while TeeVo records, when done, I will rip ten NTSC DVD's for starters, and pick some family and friends to receive-
Those DVD's will be given to folks who can handle a DVD in a DVD player, but just cannot handle "bit torrent", opening ports on a firewall, the right version of DiVX, or checking codecs, et al...
The Kidz can do it, but the majority of the baby boomers just are not capable,,,
But they are capable of receiving a DVD in the mail, and if sent from me, they will watch it...
I ran on a bit, but you folks here get the idea...

Mike Malloy (XM-167) is reporting that Cindy Sheehan was expelled for wearing a T-Shirt with the number of dead soldiers on it.
She took her coat off and when her t-shirt was revealed, they hauled her off.

That one had me in stitches.
It's hillarious how the blind right wingers go after Sheehan...she is one of the few visible patriots in the media today. But yeah, man it was painful to see Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of the neocon thug cabal sitting all smug...knowing 99.9% of America and the world doesnt know the full extent of what they've been up to.
