Government - September 2006

“Bush tried to stop Congress from setting up its own 9/11 investigation.… When he couldn’t stop Congress, he then tried to stop an independent 9/11 commission from being formed.”

The original effort by the White House was to limit the scope of the 9/11 investigation to only two congressional committees. “President Bush asked House and Senate leaders yesterday to allow only two congressional committees to investigate the government's response to the events of Sept. 11, officials said.” Mike Allen, “Bush Seeks To Restrict Hill Probes Of Sept. 11; Intelligence Panels' Secrecy Is Favored,” Washington Post, January 30, 2002.
“I, of course, want the Congress to take a look at what took place prior to Sept. 11. But since it deals with such sensitive information, in my judgment, it’s best for the ongoing war against terror that the investigation be done in the intelligence committees,” President Bush said. David Rosenbaum, “Bush Bucks Tradition on Investigation,” The New York Times, May 26, 2002.
“Angry lawmakers [McCain, Pelosi, Lieberman] accused White House Friday of secretly trying to derail creation of an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks while professing to support the idea.” Helen Dewar, “Lawmakers Accuse Bush of 9/11 Deceit,” Los Angeles Times, October 13, 2002.

I'm not a Bush fan, but to say Bush had something to do with the towers coming down is a lot of Bull, it is a sure thing in the US, that some S.O.B will try and make a buck out of any situation, no matter how hideous the crime, and i spit on those who think they can get any cash out of me for some bull sh it story.

Any explosives expert would tell you that buildings are taken down from the base, not from the top.

The Twin Towers came down because the intense heat from the aviation fuel weakened the metal structure, the wait of the floors above the fire was finally to much to bear for the weakened supports, and the top floors collapsed, accelerating and gaining wait as they fell, taking out all the floors below.

It is as simple as that, and no S.O.B is gonna make a buck out of me saying anything else.

I saw a documentary of 9-11 today on HBO and as always tears came from my eyes. There is still a part of me that fears a recurrence of such a horrible terrorist crime, however to compare Katrina's i have mixed emotions of sadness, empathy and anger.We have to take into consideration that katrina was a natural disaster and 9-11 was a cowardly act, yet the fact that both were terrible and the reaction of the government aid to Katrina still have me baffled.

And republicans do the right thing by going out and killing everyone of the terroists that threaten our way of life? Democrats are to afraid to go to war if you ask me. They are more concerned with cutting our military budget and giving money to people who poop out kids, and are on welfare, and kissing immigrants butts.
