Alright, Bush-fans – I can’t figure it out – help me. Why are there all of these negotiations with what the 9/11 commission will and will not see? Why all the conditions? Why the stonewalling?
Bush will not testify publicly or under oath: Why in the hell would you not want someone to testify under anything but an oath? Bill Clinton gets his dick sucked by an intern and lies about it and is videotaped for the entire world to hear but Bush remains in his cozy Oval room and deigns to an hour of testimony, privately, before the commission. It also guarantees that Bush will not have to testify by his lonesome and let slip something he’s not supposed to say: Cheney will be there right next to him to assist in the puppetry.
I think that a big fear is that the Bush Family’s connections to the Saudis as well as their connection to Al Queda will be revealed. Second to that, the news that Bush was so obsessed with getting his hands on Iraq he totally ignored the reports of the Clinton administration.
I just don’t understand, at all, the adversarial relationship of the White House and the investigating commission. Bush cannot call himself tough on terror when he stonewalled and assisted in delaying an investigation of 9/11 for two fucking years!
The huge tragedy of this is the less transparent the investigation is – the more obstacles and the more excisions then the commissions report will become another document as useless as the Warren Commission Report for the JFK assassination. Every condition or hidden document or removed piece of information feeds a burgeoning conspiracy theory that will mire these events in mud for the rest of our lives.
The fact that Bush is serving up Rice shows that the administration realizes they are losing popularity fast (seems ever since Bush showed off his amazing lack of speaking skills on Meet the Press). It is so strange to see the White House respond to public opinion for once.
The reluctance of Condi Rice to face the music – publicly and under oath – while spreading herself all over television – is revolting and a slap in the face to the victims’s families. For her to hide behind some non-existent precedent is stupid. I want all of them: Rumsfeld, Cheney and Daddy’s Boy himself on the fucking hotseat being recorded under oath, on television. This is the biggest intelligence failure since Pearl Harbor and no one – except for Clarke has stood up to say: “I screwed up and I’m sorry.”
I used to think Condoleeza was a class act (even if she had an oil tanker named after her) but now it seems she just as soaked in shit as the rest of them.
