I just heard it now folks. McCain said that he and Lieberman started the 9/11 commission on 9/12 but the current administration "stymied" any
investigation until the 9/11 victim families got involved. I want to ask a big fat.......WHY!!!!
I'll hazard a guess here:
Bush made a deal with Dems for cooperation in financing the wars in exchange for hindering any investigation into the intelligence failures on
9/11.
The reason the Dems wanted the deal is because any investigation would reveal the fact that policies put into place by Clinton/Gorelick (who was ON
the 9/11 Commission) resulted in that failure. And Bush looked asleep at the wheel. So BOTH sides wanted it swept under the rug.
But make no mistake about it, both Dems AND Reps wanted Hussein gone, but not for the WMD's. WMD's were just a cover story that BOTH sides used.
The reason was because he broke the peace treaty he signed at the end of GWI. There's ample evidence of this, AND his "bounty" paid to the bombers
in Israel was a known fact. This was their REAL reason why.
Afghanistan was a "gateway" into the Iraq War that could be justified to most members of the international community. It was used to "grease the
skids" into Iraq.
