Other than the air of surreality that to this day surrounds the events of 9-11, I will stay away from that for the moment and concentrate on Bush.

I do NOT think Bush had any involvement with 9-11. You may not care for my reasons, but here y'are.

1) Smart people could never see him as one of their own--smart, that is. But he has connections.

2) I will NEVER forget the look on his face in that Florida classroom. It was one I have puzzled over for years, and still do. I have reached the conclusion that he was in shock. Not because of the event, but because the way it was supposed to have worked is not the way it did work. I think that what was running through his mind was a litany of people and he seemed to be in a mad mental scramble for seven minutes trying to determine who he knew that was/could have been responsible.

3) Events over the years have demonstrated that there has been and continues to be a concerted attempt to take over the US government, subvert the Constitution, gain more control over the UN and take a shot at being more than influential with the World Bank.

4) The US is verging on bankruptcy, but that is a neat scenario. When you are in debt to the bank for $10,000, they own you. When you are in debt to the bank for $10,000,000, you own them. I think that the Neocons--and by that I do not mean New Conservatives; rather, I mean those members of an organization that has been using the term 'New World Order' for more than a hundred years now--intend to go for broke. I think many of the people who advised Bush were and are members to one degree or other. One need look no further than Cheney--I mean, c'mon, him as a Vice President? He's a ruthless CEO, and his influence has resulted in tremendous amnounts of money going to his cronies. The USA with private 'warriors' like Blackwater? Internment camps like Guantanamo? Sending people off to other countries to be tortured? The US involvement in Latin America through Special Forces and CIA?

Bush had a shot at the Presidency. Maybe it runs in the family. Cheney? Never. So the US now has the most inept leader in its history. And he's been leading the country to ruin, and in chaos there is opportunity. As the Neocons are so ably demonstrating.

I don't know if this answers you. Hope so. Most of it I don't care to discuss anymore, but I liked the way you asked.
