A fantasy.

diane: you’re starting to give moonbats a bad name!

It’s as much a fantasy as the DaVinci Code.

No one lived through it, and it is in dispute that cell calls can be made from that altitude at that time.

It’s the Macho American Hero version of what they want to show.

Heck, that happened long before 9/11.

Speaking of 9/11, why did the Fox report disappear?

Maybe Bushie knows the answer.  Maybe he could pop some popcorn and sit around and discuss it with the families after the screening.

I think somebody needs to adjust their tin hat again.

No, you look fine, Carrick.

Speaking of terrorism, here’s something from an ex-Reagan administration member:

***********************************************************************

Is the Bush Regime a state sponsor of terrorism?

A powerful case can be made that it is.

In the past three years, the Bush Regime has murdered tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and an unknown number of Afghan ones.

U.S. Marines, our finest and proudest military force, are under criminal investigation for breaking into Iraqi homes and murdering entire families. In an unprecedented event, Gen. Michael Hagee, the Marine Corps commandant, has found it necessary to fly to Iraq to tell our best-trained troops to stop murdering civilians.

...The war criminals in the Bush Regime have dismissed the murders as “collateral damage,” but they are in fact murders.

The criminal Bush Regime has now murdered more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein. The Bush Regime is also responsible for 20,000 U.S. casualties (dead, maimed for life, and wounded).

Bush damns the “axis of evil.” But who has the “axis of evil” attacked? Iran has attacked no one. North Korea has attacked no country for more than a half century. Iraq attacked Kuwait a decade and a half ago, apparently after securing permission from the U.S. ambassador.

Isn’t the real axis of evil Bush-Blair-Olmert? Bush and Blair have attacked two countries, slaughtering their citizens. Olmert is urging them on to attack a third country – Iran.

Where does the danger to the world reside? In Iran, a small, religious country where the family is intact and the government is constrained by religious authority and ancient traditions, or in the U.S. where propaganda rules and the powerful executive branch has removed itself from accountability by breaking the constitutional restraints on its power?

.....Americans think that they are the salt of the earth. The hubris that comes from this self-righteous belief makes Americans blind to the evil of their leaders.

...Gentle reader, do you believe that the Bush Regime will not shoot you down in the streets if you have a rebellion?

He is considered part of the paleoconservative wing of conservatism. In recent years, he has become increasingly known as an opponent of government regulated “free-trade agreements” like NAFTA, and the World Trade Organization, and a critic of the administration of George W. Bush. He is opposed to the Iraq War, and writes frequently on the subject.

He is a member of the controversial VDARE.com editorial collective, an internet group that favors immigration reduction. His writings frequently appear on Antiwar.com, on Lew Rockwell’s web site, and Alexander Cockburn’s left-wing site CounterPunch.

During the 2004 Presidential Election in the U.S., Roberts endorsed the Democratic candidate, John Kerry, for president. On May 18, 2005, in response to the publication of the “Downing Street memo,” Roberts wrote an article calling for Bush’s impeachment for allegedly lying to Congress about the case for war.

Of the 9/11 Commission Report, Roberts wrote in 2006, “One would think that if the report could stand analysis, there would not be a taboo against calling attention to the inadequacy of its explanations.” (see Criticisms of the 9/11 Commission Report).

Carrick: Sadly, a major supplier of tin foil hats has been diverting badly needed foil to wrap money for Congressmen’s freezers!
