Firstly...... as the the cause of 9/11 there is a papertrail a mile wide... O.B.L. should have died in 1999 when he was in the cross hairs of an armed drone over Afghanistan..... The Lawyers wouldn't pull the trigger though.... No actionable Intel... Ref MR Clinton and MR Burger....
Half of the people on this site choose to ignore these facts.... Seems it's one of the Mysteries in life...
First as to the cause of 9/11 there *is* indeed a papertrail a mile wide.
It starts when the US first began employing the mujahadeen and folk like Bin Laden to give the USSR "their Vietnam".
Armed, financed, trained and assisted by US forces they succeeded in driving the Soviets from Afghanistan.
At that point both Bin Laden and Sadam Hussein were considered friends of the US and the Bin Laden family especially had strong ties to the US most speciifically to the house of Bush.
The reason Clinton never took the shot at OBL in '99, aside from lack of actionable intel, was the fact that he was out hawking with memebers of the Saudi Royal family and that tio kill Bin Laden they woulda also killed the relatives of some folks who have entirely too much influence in DC.
Neither Dem nor Rethug woulda taken that shot at that time and to think anything else is to be completely delusional.
It does make an easily memorised talking point fer rtards tho.
Some years later this MR Burger was charged with stuffing the evidence of his total incompetence into his socks and down his pants at the national archive... Plead Guilty too... Half of the people on this site gave Mr. Burger a pass...
More Bushit.
Burger did wrong was charged and convicted but unlike the continual apologists for wars based on lies, torture and Sarah Palin's obvious stupidity lefties did NOT give him a pass.
Spud has heard the arguments over that issue time after time here at the Tort and the lefties almost as one did not condone that behaviour.
Secondly...... As far as the Iraq war.... When OPEC switches to the EURO standard for the purchase of oil like Saddam was attempting to get them to do, and your children are starving and freezing in the national depression that will follow, that same half of the people on this site and throughout America issuing passes today will want to kill every Arab on the planet
Why in God's name would people wanna kill Arabs fer switching to oil sales in Euros rather than the US dollar?
Does the American dollar deserve it's current status as the defacto world currency in light of the sasd state of the American economy?
Financial scandals, corporate corruption, an empty suit economy, over-consumption, under production, unsupportable twin deficits etc.
While still a giant in terms of the global economy the American economy is waning as China waxes.
You should be worried more about the yuan than the Euro.
Be Well.
