So, with the approach of September 11th, several channels have been showing shows related to the events that occurred in 2001.
One of these shows, Secrets of 9/11, airing on Investigation Discovery, has been on and I chose to watch it. OH. MY. HECK! Toward the end of the second hour (listed as part 2 on the ID website) they begin talking about the president, vice president, secretary of defense, among others' reactions and what they wanted to do. Kid you not, their first response was in answer to the attacks they wanted to bomb Iraq. HEL-LO? The guy who was head of counter-terrorism, at the time, told them, Iraq was not the right target, they needed to bomb Afghanistan. Rumsfeld said why would they bomb Afghanistan, there were not enough good targets in Afghanistan. HOW LAME IS THAT!?! He wanted to bomb Iraq because they had better and more targets in Iraq. UGH!!! At least Colin Powell (who at the time was Secretary of State), had enough sense to tell them, if we attacked Iraq, we would not have the support of our allies, because, they would not understand.
Other things mentioned in the show also lead me to believe that they did have knowledge of the plan for the terrorist attacks, and they just let them go ahead and attack because it would be a good excuse for them to go to war with Iraq, whether or not Iraq really had a lot to do with alQuaida or not. In fact their mantra was Afghanistan firstg , Iraq second. So completely and irritating and unnerving to me.
Okay, I just had to get that off my chest, it ticked me off...
I still believe if Gore had properly recieved the presidency, as he should have, 9/11 would nothave occurred. But who am I? pparently no one (until they come knocking on my door to haul me away for saying all this stuff, LOL).
