Why aren't we impeaching this guy...?


Not only did Bush and his NeoCon cronies lie about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and links to bin Laden (remember him?) resulting in a war that has slain thousands, maimed tens of thousands and cost billions of dollars and counting.

They also lied about alleged threats on 9/11 to the White House and Air Force One--giving Bush an excuse to hide out in Louisiana and Nebraska all day and avoid D.C. until 10 hours after the WTC and Pentagon attacks.

In fact, according to this report posted yesterday on the Center for Cooperative Research website, the numerous media and official accounts of Bush's actions on 9/11 are riddled with disinformation, omitted details, fudged timing and more. Obvious attempts to rewrite the story, making Bush look better, continue to this day.

And here's one $64 million question...

If high-placed U.S. government officials knew by 8:48 a.m. on 9/11 that:
...three commercial airplanes had been hijacked. They knew that one plane had been flown deliberately into the World Trade Center's North Tower; a second plane was wildly off course and also heading toward Manhattan; and a third plane had abruptly turned around over Ohio and was flying back toward Washington, DC.

So why, at 9:03 a.m. - fifteen minutes after it was clear the United States was under terrorist attack - did President Bush sit down with a classroom of second-graders and begin a 20-minute pre-planned photo op? No one knows the answer to that question. In fact, no one has even asked Bush about it.
The entire piece provides a detailed timetable of the president's actions immediately before and after the 9/11 attacks, and is a MUST READ. Seriously, if you read only one thing this blog points to, read this one.

And much thanks to This Modern World for being first blog to point out the article.
