a rare political entry

dude. is this for real? people honestly believe that our government orchestrated 9/11? this is truly the first i've heard of this. i'm at a loss for words. do i trust our government compeletely? no. do i believe that they always have our best interests at heart? no. do i think they killed thousands of people on september 11th for some unknown reason(i'm assuming they're saying it's because the president needed a catalyst for war)? abso-fucking-lutely NOT! how ludicrous is this? really. do any of you think this? if so, please do respond with why you think it's a possibility. i'm truly interested to understand why you would think our government would do something like this.

also Charlie Sheen's comment about the planes "not looking like any commercial jetliner he'd ever seen" is just completely and utterly laughable. what a fucking moron. is he an airplane expert?

this is about as political as you will see me because arguing politics never ends well. i just couldn't get over this though. outraged. that's a good word to describe how i'm feeling.

we agree, as well. in fact, Clinton had an opportunity to bring Bin Laden into custody many years ago and didn't because he couldn't be bothered.

i think it's ignorant of us to supply any country with weapons because i'm not the most trusting person you'll ever meet.

i honestly don't know where the Saddam/Bin Laden working together even came from. i'm hardly the most educated person when it comes to the ins and outs of 9/11, the war, Bin Laden and Saddam, but even i know they couldn't stand each other. hell, Saddam had banned Bin Laden from Saudi Arabia because of his actions.

The Saddam/bin Laden connection pretty much came from Bush's/Rumsfeld's/Powell's reasoning of going into Iraq in the first place. Mixed in with the WMD rhetoric were things about terrorists and protecting ourselves from another 9/11. I believe there are documented instances where Bush drew a tenuous connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda in some of his speeches, but ultimately I think there were enough insinuations in the administration's position that people and media completed the connection and ran with it.
