"I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile."

A More Dangerous Agenda

Bojinka’ — ‘loud bang’ — the code name bin Laden operatives had given to an audacious plan to hijack 11 U.S. airliners simultaneously and fly them into various targets in the U.S. was known to the FBI and other federal agencies as early as 1995.  With the pretense of internal security vanquished by terrorists of our own making, we deserve an apology from the U.S. Government for its arrogance, complicity and ineptitude as an accessory for this attack...

9/11 Chair: Attack Was Preventable

"This was not something that had to happen."

---Thomas Kean, Chairman of the 9/11 Commission

• "How is it possible we have a national security advisor coming out and saying we had no idea they could use planes as weapons when we had FBI records from 1991 stating that this is a possibility," said Kristen Breitweiser, one of four New Jersey widows who lobbied Congress and the president to appoint the commission. >>> Read the Story

• Two government sources tell TIME that National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice is arguing over ground rules for her appearance in part because she does not want to testify under oath or, according to one source, in public. >>> Read the Story

"I think this is evidence that our CIA and our intelligence apparatus are run by nincompoops and incompetents. People should lose their jobs over [the 9-11 attacks]...When I tell people that President Clinton supported the Taliban, they go berserk. But that is the truth."

The Principles of Chaostan

From the NOV-DEC 2004 EARLY WARNING REPORT

I'm often asked what Bush should have done after 9-11.
    The Saudi royal family are the most powerful gangsters in the Islamic world. Bush should have said to them, give us everyone involved in the attack, plus all the evidence. The ones our courts find guilty will be executed.
    In exchange, he should have said, we will reverse the foreign policy begun in the 1940s. We will sever all political and military connections throughout the Islamic world. We will become completely neutral, withdraw all our troops, and cease our meddling in Islamic affairs.
    We will never again offer money, weapons or military training to killers such the Shah of Iran, the Saudi royal family, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Boris Yeltsin in Russia, or Musharraf in Pakistan. We will go home and leave you alone.
    These are, incidentally, measures Washington should have taken decades ago, even in the absence of a war, on grounds of ethics alone.
    Would the Saudi royal thugs have declined the offer? Would they have said to a billion Muslims, no deal, we want the US government to stay in the Mideast?
    Maybe. But if they did, I think they'd all very quickly have been hanging from lampposts.
    Instead, Bush immediately chose war, and now tens of thousands have been killed and wounded in a conflict that is not likely to end in our lifetimes.
    War should always be the last resort, not the first. Odds are very high that eventually each of us will know one or more young men or women who will be horribly maimed or killed in this debacle.
    However, the beauty of the plan Bush should have used from the beginning is, it's still available. At any time, the President can deliver that offer to the Saudi dictators.
    If the offer does not work, he can always continue the war, so why not give it a try? What's to lose?

Is Bush Empowering the UN?

Was Clinton Pro-Taliban?

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world... As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent Patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practise the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the Public Councils… Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences...constantly keeping in view, that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard."

---George Washington’s Farewell Address, September 17, 1796

 

"The United States goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is a well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. If the United States took up all foreign affairs, it would become entangled in all the wars of interest and intrigue, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own soul." ---President John Quincy Adams   "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ---Benjamin Franklin

"[It's the] most under-reported phenomenon of the last two election cycles: Libertarian Party candidates are seriously hurting Republicans.  In this age of Senate power sharing and a razor thin GOP House majority, Republicans can't ignore the Libertarians.  If they do, it may cost them dearly."
