I don't think it's under wraps. Memos show he was warned.9-11 was a Godsend for the Texan to get us into a war. There were warnings about a lot of things. Hindsight is always 20/20. A federal judge named James Oakes speculated in the 1970s that terrorists could hijack a plane and collide it with buildings to make it become, in eerily familiar language, a 'weapon of mass destruction'. So it was certainly within the realm of possibility. But you can't prepare for every possible threat. Was attention biased too heavily towards NBC threats? Definitely. But none of this is to say George W. Bush & co. participated in a conspiracy to murder thousands of Americans. As you know, I was opposed to the war in Iraq and the half-assed way in which we prosecuted the war in Afghanistan (for a government that spares no expense in so many things, Donald Rumsfeld makes it a top priority to catch al Qeada on the cheap...). Although I disagreed strongly with the policy, I don't doubt that the nation's leaders were doing what they thought was the right thing, even if they made up a bullshit story to go along with it; they were simply wrong, not traitorous. So in conclusion, yes, I find the truther position to be crackpot. |
