LIHOP? OR MIHOP?

WHY?

That Is The Question.

I'd never heard these terms, before:
LIHOP and MIHOP. Turns out, I'm very familiar with the concepts, with regard to the World Trade Center bombing on 9/11/01:

The theories are, that the "Powers That Be," i.e., Bushco, either:

"Let It Happen On Purpose"

"Made It Happen On Purpose"

Apparently, there's a whole bunch of people arguing with each other over the real and perceived details that support these theories. As a kid who grew up with the Kennedy Assasination, with a copy of the big, thick Warren Commission report on it in my parent's house, I doubt anybody will ever conclusively prove which one of these theories is right. Why?

Does anybody sane and not stupid actually believe that toilet-seat-medal- wearing (the lowest rifle- qualification medal in the Marine Corps) wacko Lee Harvey Oswald actually carried out the assasination of JFK all by himself, and made those TWO impossible shots in Dallas in 1963? Well, we'll NEVER know, will we? The official government report was issued, and NOTHING was done. Forty years later, nothing is known, either. Why?

Similarly, all the hard evidence on 9/11 is under the control of the government, and everything we now know about 9/11, definitively, comes from the government. So, we can either believe them, or not. There is no other information, nor is there ever likely to be. Why?

The government certainly has no interest in getting to the bottom of this, implicating or accusing anyone in the governnment of incompetance or complicity in this. So far, there has been no truly independent investigation of 9/11, by anyone completely outside of the government. Why?

The Bush Administration consistently opposed, denied, delayed and stonewalled the 9/11 Commission investigation, from the outset. Bush had to be baby-sat by Cheney in his appearance before the Commission, even behind closed doors. It was a joke. Still, the Republicans are refusing to cooperate in any reforms, even based on the no-blame, "bipartisan" 9/11 Commission Report. Why?

I can't believe the Kerry campaign let them get away with this. Maybe they focus-grouped a bunch of Angry Nascar Dads and Nervous Soccer Moms, and they just didn't care about 9/11. Or maybe they didn't want to hear that that nice Christian good-ole-boy from the wealthy, powerful Connecticut family, Dubya, was responsible. Why?

Because, either way, Bush was responsible. It happened on his watch. Either he made it happen, or he let it happen. Criminal intent, or criminal negligence. Stupidity is not a defense.

The possibility of planes being used as missiles was long known. We also knew that terrorists were considering such an attack, years ago. The target was known for over ten years, since before the first WTC bombing. The alleged perpetrators were VERY well known, since before the US African embassies and USS Cole bombings. There was a specific warning less than a month before 9/11. The Bushies deliberately shelved it. Why?

There is no third choice: Bush was negligent, or Bush was involved. Bush either did 9/11, or allowed it to happen. Yet, there he sits, in the White House, for FOUR MORE YEARS. And his first act is to deep-six the 9/11 Commission, and any chance of reform that might protect us from ANOTHER 9/11. Why?

Don't bother with all these other, more complex questions. Just ask, why?

Why has not ONE person in the US government been fired, or charged, because of 9/11?

Why is nothing being done to prevent another 9/11?

Why are we creating new terrorists at an unheard-of rate, all over the world?

Why are we more at risk than ever for a 9/11-style attack?

Bush is responsible. For all of this. Still, he goes on in the same way, refusing to change ANYTHING, since 9/11. Why?

Just ask "Why?"

BUSH SAVES "POLITICAL CAPITAL"

INSTEAD OF SAVING AMERICA

Dubya Hides Behind Congress's Skirts,
As Republicans Refuse To Reform Our Intelligence Establishment

That's what the 9/11 Commission gets for trying to be "non-partisan," and not laying blame where it belongs. And that's what they get for not pushing hard enough for reform before the election. Shit, who was on the bridge when the first 9/11 happened? Bush. And now, who is likely to be there for the next 9/11?

Without blame, there was no "remedy." And there will be none. The 9/11 Commission and it's Warrenesque report, will now fade away. And there WILL be another 9/11. In a Red State, maybe, next time.

I will be chided for being extreme, paranoid, whatever, by all the voices of "moderation" and such. Then, when the next attack occurs, hopefully not in a Blue State, again, the same people will say, "Well, it's just those CRAZY fundamentalists, no way we could have prevented this." Everybody is crazy but them. They're just wilfully fucking IGNORANT, to the point of insanity.

What's more crazy: Taking an interest in a very real, and proven threat? Or ignoring it? Hiding under the covers is OK for little kids. For adults, not so much.

Bushco obviously wants another attack, and we're already being primed to target another uninvolved country as "retaliation."

THREE years after 9/11, NOTHING has been done. Oh, yeah, we invaded Afghanistan, but we let Osama and Mullah Omar go. Al Qaida has spread all over the world, inspiring spin-offs. Now the drug lords are coming back in to Afghanistan, heroin production & exports are up, and the Taliban are starting to look good again to the people. And, oh yeah, where's Osama?

Meanwhile, 9/11 provided an excuse for the unprovoked invasion of Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11. And look at the fucking mess over there. It's a daily recruiting video for Al Qaida. On the international front, nuclear non-proliferation is a thing of the past, thanks to Bush, personally. Our good friends the Pakistani's have spread nukes here, there and everywhere. Anti-terror ally China, and their North Korean surrogates, are glad to provide missile delivery systems to ANYbody. Our new buddies the Russians have their own brand new missiles, just announced yesterday, designed to defeat our Star Wars crap.

At home, nothing has been done about seaport, railroad, trucking, highway, infrastructure, or toxic industry security. The window dressing at the airport still lets up to 50% of the FAA's testers get through with knives, guns and fake bombs.

Experts on nuclear terror say a nuke or a dirty bomb is VERY likely going to be set off in an American city in the next few years.

Now, there will be no reform of our intelligence community, including of course, Congress itself. So we're WILFULLY blinding ourselves to all these threats, even after the catastrophic security failures of 9/11.

It's obvious that Bushco wants a lukewarm war to replace the lucrative Cold War. Look at all the power it has given them. And look what they choose to do with it, and our tax dollars. Are you ready for the consequences, to your town? As a New Yorker who used to live two blocks from the World Trade Center, I just want to say, I hope the NEXT 9/11 is in a RED State!
