Of course Bush wasn't smart enough to pull off a 9/11 attack, but he is surely complicit. His brother and cousin were on the board of the company that provided security for the WTC. Jeb took him in in Florida that morning. Daddy often spoke of the New World Order. So surely, Bush has blood on his hands in regards to foreknowledge of the attacks.

I think we need to look for people smarter than "W" if we want to find the brains behind 9/11.

Paul Craig Roberts is an actual conservative, unlike the present-day Republicans, which is why Bush's push to create a police state have made him speak out so passionately.

He also has some useful things to say about mass unending immigration:

Roberts, like the AlterNet, is an informative source, keeping in mind that they both overlook ecological facts they find inconvenient.

Isn't this guy a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. It was Reagan who started this entire mess. What he did really started the entire process. This Bush Rethug death agenda for profits and political power began with the Reagan devolving of the American people and his defunding of American society and American families.

Once Reagan started this process along with Pope John Paul II and his brethren Jerry Falwell, we got Iran-Contra, increasing trouble in the ME, then came Daddy Bush of the hegemonic Bush crime family and now America and the world has to suffer and die under the increasingly hegemonic rule of the Bush family and Republican party's current iteration, namely Baby Bush which will inevitably lead to the next iteration of Bush family Rethug imperial despots, Jeb Bush; himself a Confederate Catholic Cracker.

Still it's nice to see that there is at least a shred of reasoning left among the right winger Rethugs.

What Pope John Paul II, Jerry Falwell and Ronald Reagan have released upon the world and America is an abomination which may yet eclipse the Holocaust, also supported by the Catholic Church, my church, via it's endorsement and support of Hitler and the Nazi Party and nowit's endorsement and support of the Rethugian Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, Texass Rethug party.

Don't the aforementioned ever have enough money or political power.

...another florid faced version of the Irish Catholic right wing Chris Matthews or what. They look like clones, well, at least brothers.

whether the meritocrat is born into a privileged position or gets there by hard graft. (If we deserve to be where we are, then you must deserve your own fate, however tragic or horrific it might be.)

Interestingly, Bush was born into American's aristocracy while Hilary got there by being a "swot". But both exhibit the indifference. Sisters under the skin you might say.

Justice has been defined as composed of equality and respect. You either "get it" or you don't.

they can't think ahead to the obvious implications of their strategy, which is to hold on to power by any means necessary, including again politely stepping aside for another terrorist attack to justify their total dictatorship and again rallying the people around their hero President while he expands the Iraq war into Iran and beyond to World War Three - Bush's Biblical Armageddon. Apparently, it is too horrifying to realize we are being led by criminal madmen. So, the people look forward to the 2008 election as though it will solve the problem, but Bush & Cheney have not respected the Constitution so far, why would they surrender to an election that would certainly terminate their agenda for corporate fascism?! Thus, they have until 2008 to complete their timetable, and we are trapped in that timetable, because nobody is likely to survive World War Three.

As long as there is a substantial number of believers in the myth of a "liberal" MSM, we will continue to see this sort of respect (reverance?) for conservative thinkers and pundits. As though it is somehow "out of the box" and ruggedly individualistic to be conservative.

The facts are there for any who care to find them, the MSM is not "liberal", it is in fact far more supportive of nearly all things conservative. And of course, who perpetuates this myth of liberalism more than the MSM itself? No one.

The majority of people (and I speak only of the US here), are stuck in a sort of political neutral, not wanting to think or participate too much in the process of "self-governance". They prefer to express their "freedom" more in their consumer choices, giving little thought to how the choices with which they are confronted actually evolve, or how their process of selection is influenced by those who present the choices. They just know that on a reptilian level of brain function (where many reside), they feel sexy, powerful and free.

There are two other significantly large population groups, which have (for the sake of convenience and expedience mostly), been labeled "liberal" and "conservative". Liberals tend to be submissive to the "public good" in their thoughts and actions, while "conservatives" tend to be aggressively self-centered. (as in "I got yer public good right here, Pal! I am the GD "public", MFer") Of course they would pray for forgiveness for using such language, but you get the point.

So, to sort of sum up, we have a large audience operating on a low level of brain function and we have two ideologies competing for their support/participation in two vastly different agendas. From my 60 plus years of observation, I'd have to say that the "liberals" are probably a numerically larger group, but the "conservatives" make up for this shortcoming through aggressiveness, which is uninhibited by such things as reality. For some time, the "conservatives" have exerted control of the MSM, primarily through aggressive economics, but have realized that they can multiply the effect of their message if they can create the perception among the masses that it is only reaching them as a result of dogged, sustained effort against a monolithic, "liberal" resistance, in the form of the MSM. This has been remarkably effective.

So, we now have a real freakin' mess on our hands, a ravaged economy, crumbling infrastructure, an outrageously expensive military misadventure and historic destruction of constitutional principles. All of these are substantially due to the implementation of "conserative" policies being imposed on governmental actions. (or inactions in many cases) "Liberals" have been shouting against this process for as long as I can remember, but their message has been discounted by the MSM as simply partisan rhetoric from a "liberal MSM", (which is actually "conservative").

Now we have folks like this "ex-Reagan aide" (who has been a part of the problem), being held up by the MSM as true "free thinkers". Hmmm... someone who has been a part of the problem, finally acknowleges the problem, and gets more credibility from the MSM than the folks who have been trying to talk about the problem for years. Is it any wonder so many people give up and turn to drugs? No wait, I meant "medicine".

Now think about this. If you were Bush, and I might add, "Gawd forbid", what would you do if you led a country to a preemptive war, called up a nation's army, reserves and national guard, was responsible for thousands of their deaths, as well as thousands of serious injuries mental as well as physical, was directly responsible for tens of thousands of Iraqi's deaths which included seniors, women and children, could take 'credit' for destroying the infrastructure and watched the oblituration of antiquities, wouldn't you hold onto "we had no other choice but to take the war over there?"

Whenever I hear "Its better to fight them over there than over here", I ask, "who the hell do we think we are that we have the right to take it to their streets instead of our own"? We lost over 3,000 innocents on 9/11 by people who had absolutely no connection to Iraq, but yet we have directly cost tens of thousands more innocent deaths to a country who was as innocent as ours.

And the Media and the Congress sat on their collective hands and did nothing. It makes me sick.

Sissy,

Between Bu$h senior and Bu$h junior they conservatively are probably responsible for more civilian deaths than the Cambodian Minion.
What a family legacy to be prowd of!!
All of this in the name of freedom? I guess if you're dead you are in a sense free. Double Speak from the New World Order Ministry of Love. Orwell would turn over in his grave. We have achieved the vision in his novel, 1984. "War is Peace". Goldstein has multiplied into the "Terrorists" and if anyone has any further question as to whether or not "Big Brother" is watching us they must be asleep or already dead. Time to wake up!!!!

Many think George Bush is a moron, but maybe he isn't and the stupid thing is just an act. Maybe his ultimate goal is to bring the Rapture upon us. He has started a war in the holy land after all. Maybe the world has only till the end of his presidency, and then he'll destroy it. On the last minute of the last hour of the last day of his presidency he can send the missle flying and that will be the end of life as we know it. But he'll save himself and 143 of his closest freeinds to fullfill the prophecy of the Rapture.

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-sociopath.htm

The main characteristic of a sociopath is a disregard for the rights of others. Sociopaths are also unable to conform to what society defines as a normal personality. Antisocial tendencies are a big part of the sociopath’s personality. This pattern usually comes into evidence around the age of 15. If it is not treated, it can develop into adulthood.

Visible symptoms include physical aggression and the inability to hold down a steady job. The sociopath also finds it hard to sustain relationships and shows a lack of regret in his or her actions. A major personality behavior trait is the violation of the rights of others. This can appear as a disregard for the physical or sexual wellbeing of another.

Although these symptoms are all present, they may not always be evident. Research has shown that the sociopath is usually a person with an abundance of charm and wit. He or she may appear friendly and considerate, but these attributes are usually superficial. They are used as a way of blinding the other person to the personal agenda behind the sociopath’s behaviour.

Many people with antisocial personality disorder frequently indulge in alcohol or drug use. They may use these substances heavily as a way of heightening their antisocial personality. The sociopath sometimes sees the world on his or her own terms, as a place of high drama and risky thrills. The sociopath may suffer from low self esteem, and the use of alcohol and drugs is a way to diminish these feelings.

Does this description bring to mind, anyone that you know? Perhaps a public figure? Just a hypothetical here, but I wonder what would happen if a sociopath were in control of the most powerful military that had ever been assembled, and given virtually unrestricted financing to deploy and use it.

How sad it is: Nancy Pelosi and her "off the table" comment about impeaching this "war president." If her son or daughter were in Iraq, how soon would that table be set?
Butcher Bush has shown he's acting for God to punish the bad guys. He prays for prey and he's found a genocidal outlet for it, thanks to the morons who voted to let him have his way. Complicity, thy name is Congress, the Media, and the ignorant voters.
Dubya is a real killer, yeah!

Bush is but one in a long line of enemies of humanity, who are intent upon exterminating the human species in an all out nuclear war.

We only exist due to the timely intervention into our world by some still unknown, "High level power," that we call "ET."

Roberts has been ripping the Bush administration pretty savagely for a few years now -- to what effect I'm not sure.

If this message were to issue from the "media morons," that would be startling. Not going to happen anytime soon though, I'm afraid. Their group-think positions can only drift narrowly within the confines of their corporate fishbowl.

We'd probably nail a far higher percentage of genuine, dyed-in-the-wool, murderous and thieving criminals than if we went through the whole prison population of the US. Add in the DNC and you might even come close in numbers...
