		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wahhh!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe if you libturds kept Michael Moore straight in F 9/11, we might be able to find some common ground on the Path to 9/11.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, alas, you are who you are, gander. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words, go fuck yourselves!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Disney/ABC can slander the hell out of a former President and his Cabinet officers and nothing happens. Will GE/NBC continue to allow Keith Olbermann a free hand in pointing out the gross deficiencies of the current President? Only time will tell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what was the Bush record prior to 9/11?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, he was given the Hart-Rudman Commission report on terrorism on January 21, 2001. Two of the priority items in that report were the creation of a Homeland Security department and to sharply beef up airport security. Bush did not act on one single recommendation of Hart-Rudman prior to 9/11. Not one. Even after 9/11 Bush fought tooth and nail over the creation of a Homeland Security department. When Bush finally agreed to that proposal it wrapped FEMA under that umbrella and the do nothing response to Katrina. Twofers like this is exactly what we don’t need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If that were not enough, Bush received a PDB on August 6, 2001 that predicted “Bin Laden determined to strike inside US”. One of the methods highlighted for striking inside the US was highjackings. Bush went fishing without even passing on the highjacking warnings to the airlines or air terminals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Richard Clarke, Bush’s top expert on terrorism tried in vain to meet with senior Administration officials with his recommendations. They, it seems, were too busy looking for ways to take out Saddam. It was all revealed by former Treasury Secretary O’Neill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even today, only about half of the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission have been enacted. Bush, in fact, supported the sale of port security to a Middle-Eastern company. It is as though if Bush actually did something he would lose 9/11 as a political issue to be exploited so fat chance of this being wrapped up any time soon.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-289903&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;the hawk @&lt;br /&gt;
                82              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
…&lt;br /&gt;
The air defense system breakdown on the day of Sept. 11 was unprecedented. Well-practiced protocols for dealing with suspected hijackings failed to function for an astonishing 90 minutes. The little-known existence of “coincidental” military war games has since been exposed, which undoubtedly caused confusion. And now, the chairman and vice-chairman of the 9/11 Commission claim (in a new book, “Without Precedent”) that the military was less than completely honest. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The collapse of steel-frame buildings — such as the World Trade Center Towers — due to fire is unprecedented. The collapse of Building 7, which was not hit by a plane, is especially inexplicable. Its collapse late in the afternoon of Sept. 11 exhibited 10 specific features of a controlled demolition, as did the collapse of the Twin Towers. More important, numerous eyewitnesses attest to hearing multiple explosions at the time. And, Steven Jones, a professor at Brigham Young University, discovered Thermate, an incendiary compound, in two molten steel samples taken from the site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the beginning, the Bush administration delayed and otherwise impeded the investigation, preferring to focus on the foreign invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq enabled by the attacks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t put much stock in these speculations&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The air war games are quite common in the Northeast, especially over upstate NY, Vermont, NH, and Maine.  A-10s and F-15s often come check out the beaches in the summer and the ski areas in the winter.  I have even experienced a sonic boom (not allowed) in upstate NY.  There are several Air Guard bases in the area.  The less than honesty is CYA manuvering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The World Trade Towers clearly failed where the planes hit and burned.  Controlled demolitions break the structural components with explosives.  The support columns were visibly bending before they collapsed.  Hot fires will produce all manner of detectable nitrate/nitrite explosive like compounds.  As for building 7, about 25% of one side up to the tenth floor was scouped out by the debris from the falling towers.  When its construction was analyzed, it was found out that much less damage would cause it to collapse&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About the Bush administration?  True.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Keith has been a must see for me, for several years.  He was the only one willing to suggest that the 2000, and 2004 elections were rigged.  I still worry about this today.  Now we have scholars and scientist who say it is not only possible but plausible.  I urge all americans who value a true democracy to investigate election fraud in america under the Bush regime. I believe it happened across this country.  Even in my republican state…where everyone expected it would go republican…I didn’t know a single person who would be voting for Bush and he still won my state with a huge majority.  Plus one of our counties was included in one of the major reports for having more votes tallied on the republican side, than people.  No news in my state, I had to read it from the Study out of Penn State by Freeman.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please people educate yourselves about voter fraud.  I don’t know why people believe that Bush wouldn’t have cheated?? It’s like people believe he wouldn’t go THAT far.  Hello, he’s killing innocent men, women and babies in Iraq…for no purpose other than profit.  He may have allowed the towers to go down.  He may have orchestrated the energy crises in california before the 2000 elections.  I do not know what he wouldn’t do.  Do you?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-289805&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;mary jane @ 9 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I mentioned earlier in the day how I woman arrived at the store where I work, all shook up because she had been “thinking about The Path to 911 all day”. She believed it was a re-enactment of true events and said “I had no idea they let Bin Laden get away, that it was Clinton”. I set her straight and  told her to look on line, but criminy! She’s never struck me as a dummy, she was just plain duped!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I fear that the program was effective with many. Large numbers of people never read anything except the headlines scrolling at the bottom on the screen, bad novels or the sports section. Twelve million screens watched that show in the USA (25,000,000 people maybe). Most of them were not committed neo-cons and I’ll bet that several million responded just as that lady did. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Disney must pay a steep price for this or there will be much more of it in the future and democracy in America will be even more vulnerable than it already is.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Although excellent, Keith could have also highlighted the contrast that a great President once said “we have nothing to fear but fear itself” whereas this president and the republican party activily and shamelessly promote fear in the American people for political gain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
