Okay, random thoughts on this thread ...

1. Criminally negligent? Jezez. I think GW is the worst thing to happen to America since the designated hitter, not to mention "Notacrook" - but I don't buy it, even if a part of me wants to. Came into office with a bunch of cold warriors lacking in an understanding of the dangers of today? Yep - but the American people, or the people of Florida, or Anton Scalia put 'em there. Complicity? Nah, I don't think so. This is a plan that even Henry Kissinger would think unethical (and that says a lot).

My opinion? They wanted to work a deal for a pipeline through Afghan, and they relaxed our watch on them as a sign of good faith - a typical diplomatic move, not a criminal action. As I said above, I think they were essentially cold warriors without much of a clue as to the nature of the world today; overall, I think GW intended to focus far more on domestic issues than foreign affairs. Domestically, Reverend Ashhahahahaha had a different agenda, and failed to emphasize antiterrorism.

2. GW's actions on 9/11 are the source of so much speculation and interpretation and extrapolation and bullshit speculation that it makes me want to hurl. Again, I dislike the man and all he stands for intensely - but he did what he was supposed to do - he acted Presidential. He did it by finishing his appearance at the school, and he did it by flying to Offut, and he did it by - and I'm speculating here, - overruling his security wienies and returning to Washington that night.

3. A timeline is purely speculative, even if done by the best of reporters. Few if any Americans can say "I learned of the attacks at 9:01:23 EST." There are far more important things to do for government officials to be doing than keeping a timesheet.

For whatever reason, a great many people feel a need for this to be a conspiracy. The roots of Islamic fundamentalism and the anti-American aspect of it have been visible to the world for years and years. 9/11 was neither the first nor the last shot in this war. I wonder if focusing on Iraq at this time - although now is as good a time as any, because it's a job that needs to be done, and soon - is the correct strategy, but nobody has called to ask me.

You wanna believe it's a conspiracy? Go for it. I could care less. Everybody's got a website - the Nazis and the Klan, the folks from PETA and the Socialist Workers Party, and everybody in between. They all appear to be rational people, they all will present you with what appears to be well thought out research ... but they are nothing more than papers written with an objective in mind, as opposed to research. In short - this "well thought out" stuff represented as research or factual material was prepared by the "true believers," will preach to the choir, and get a big amen from them.
