Happy Anniversary, 9/11
And thank you for always being there for us. By us I mean the US of A and Bush Co. 2001.
Is there a computer big enough to hold the number of times the administration has used the word mandate because of 9/11? The murders of 3,000 people in a terror attack does not give a mandate to spend trillions of dollars and thousands more lives occupying a sovereign nation.
In five years, those little intelligence agencies such as the CIA have not been able to find any link between Iraq and the attacks on America. But by God, the Iraqi people must pay for allowing the ‘Saddamizing’ to take place. And pay they have, with their innocent lives; 40,000 of them.
In a recent poll conducted by the New York Times, numbers showed that only 15% of Americans outside of New York City, thought about 9/11 more than twice a week. Yet for every question asked about the war on terror, the administration gives some vague, alluding answer about the attacks. And why is it that every time Bush gets in trouble, a new terror threat comes out?
Remember 2004 and the week before the Election? Remember the poll numbers and then the killing of al-Zarqawi? Remember today, on the five-year anniversary a new terror tape is released? I am just not buying it anymore. But it does not matter because that seems to be all the Government is selling.
Five years after Pearl Harbor, a real act of war, we dropped two freakin’ A-bombs on Japan. What have we done now besides kill 40,000 people, in turn, giving all their relatives a reason to hate Americans? Well, we removed Saddam from power, although he is more popular in the Middle East now than ever before.
I remember the day after 9/11/2001, or maybe it was the night of, GW Bush got on top of the smoldering ash of the two towers. He got on top of the charred bodies of husbands, wives, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews. He stood up and told us what he was going to do. Everything. He laid it all out for all of us to see. But the damn Patriotism blinded us; we could not see through the horror and pain of the moment. Past all the heroic talk and empty promises. We could not see what was truly ahead of us even though it was told from atop the mountain of destruction and death, told right to our faces. Now we have two more years to regret not standing up and taking the risk of being called unpatriotic.
Here I am, five years later, and this is the first rant I have ever let out. And for all of you who read this, wave the bloody towel at me and tell me that you have heard all of this before from crazy Liberals, well check our President. He has been saying the same thing for five years. It is time to wave the towel at him.
