If you tell a lie enough it will eventually become the truth...

I heard the dreaded news this afternoon on my way home from work. RAIN this weekend. How can I enjoy the $700.00 plus membership and bond fees for the Clifton Swim Club when it rains and is cold on weekends? Hot as a griddle today, sweated my kuhunies off. Now, this weekend? 78 and rainy. I think that there is something sinister going on. Really.   Off to better things... Here's something that makes me conclude that the Federal government and others got away with MURDER.   9/11 Commission Releases Final Report:The September 11th Commission concludes that a "failure of imagination," not governmental neglect, allowed 19 hijackers to carry out the deadliest terrorist attack in US history. The panel calls for an intelligence overhaul to confront an al-Qaida organization intent on striking again. While faulting institutional shortcomings, the bipartisan report "does not blame President Bush or former president Clinton for mistakes" contributing to the 2001 terrorist attack. The report, which is the culmination of a 20-month investigation into the plot that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, describes the meticulous planning and determination of hijackers who sought to exploit weaknesses in airline and border procedures by taking test flights. Coincidentally?, a surveillance video that surfaced Wednesday shows four of the hijackers passing through security gates at Dulles International Airport in Washington shortly before boarding the plane they would crash into the Pentagon. In the video (left), the hijackers can be seen undergoing additional scrutiny after setting off metal detectors, then being permitted to continue to their gate. White House officials and congressional leaders were briefed on the panel's findings, and Bush was presented a copy about 9:30am by the commission's chairmen, just before the 11:30am public release on the commission's web site and in bookstores. The president said he looked forward to reading it. He also said Wednesday his administration was doing everything possible to combat terrorism, a major theme of his re-election campaign: "Had we had any inkling whatsoever that terrorists were about to attack our country, we would have moved heaven and earth to protect America. I'm confident President Clinton would have done the same thing. Any president would." One administration official said the 575-page report concludes that Bush and Clinton took the threat of al-Qaida seriously and were "genuinely concerned about the danger posed by al-Qaida," but didn't do enough to stop the terrorist organization headed by Osama bin Laden. There was a "failure of imagination" to provide either Bush or Clinton with new options -- particularly military approaches -- to deal with al-Qaida, the official said. There also was a failure to adapt to the post-Cold War era, and people just kept trying the same kinds of things that didn't work, the official said. As expected, the report will propose a national counterterrorism center headed by a new cabinet-level national director of intelligence. The director would have authority over the CIA, FBI, and other agencies, while congressional oversight also would be strengthened. Out of all of this I get 575 pages of LIES and deception. It took all of 30 hours for the MEDIA to brand this magical group called Al- Quidea or whatever from "Credible" sources to tell the sheeple that 19 "Arabs" caused this. I tell you that it took millions of man hours and millions of dollars to catch the unibomber. To the 911 commission I say BULLSHIT. And here's another FACT. I am NOT one of those "Conspiracy Nuts" that the media and those in politics are quick to label anyone who questions the government. There is too much proof, and hopefully those who read this post will search the internet and find these FACTS that YOUR government is trying to hide or twist. Look. I care about my community here in Clifton Heights. And also the whole of Delaware County and the state of Pennsylvania. Go farther and I care about the whole of the United States. Just think of those words for a minute or two. "United States". So, why then if were so united does the federal government seem to pit each against the other? Why are "Lobbyist" allowed? To me they are legalized whores spending YOUR tax dollars and kissing up to these so called senators who only "care" about you when it's election time. Ok. As always, I have to stop. But think about it. Don't put your religion or party affiliation in front of your fellow man or woman. Cheers. P.S. Vote wisely in November.
