The ends? To secure the US's oil supply, secure Israel's legitimacy to exist and to 'export democracy' to the Middle East. If you believe that 3000 civilian lives is worth these results then you won't mind being lied to. If you don't, well, tough. Because this government cannot even be voted out.\r\n\r\nThe rest of the world can see this. The evidence makes it obvious. Most Americans however are happy to accept anything their media outlets tell them. On the one hand are the 'conspiracy theorists' and on the other the 'coincidence theorists'. The world is polarized as never before. One thing IS true though and that is that Bush is no more a 'uniting President' than I am Olive Oyle. He is a war president with war on his mind all the time.

Her performance regarding 911 was already in question before the release of the 911 reports, and now there are even more questions regarding her performance than ever. These people have got to start being held accountable for their performance, or should I say &quot;Lack of performance&quot;.  America is really fed up with the way our government is handled with kid gloves. &quot;Hey&quot; Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. We American's have to live by this, and so should our government. The news media simply cannot continue turning their heads with that; &quot;Oh&quot; &quot;Boy's will be boy's sort of attitude&quot; regarding our government. We are all responsible for our actions, and so therefor must be held accountable. Why were those reports held up or burried until after the election? I think we all know the reason to that. A C.I.A. employee appeared on the news about a week or so before the election, insisting that the reports were completed, and yet they were being held up. He also stated  that  the reports should be released to the American people. Even the Kerry team had requested the release of these  reports only a few days before Nov. 2nd, and yet their requests were  ignored also. I was furious then, and I am even more furious now. I just couldn't believe that they could refuse to release this information. By now, I think we all know who is responsible for witholding this valuable information from the American people, and I say, that  they must be held accountable for this injustice also. Isn't about time for America to say &quot;The white gloves are off&quot; to the Government currently residing in the White House? Just how much more nonsense is America willing to put up with?","author":"Judy Christensen","parent_id":122449,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-02-13 23:36:22","modified":"2005-02-13 23:36:22","fileurl":""},{"id":122510,"heading":"G8 Summit - July 2001","article":"\r\n         Finally , someone is at least attempting to get to the bottom of it all ! There are so many ways to prove that the Bush administration told a jillion lies about the 911 attacks that it boggles the mind . Rice may have claimed that she never imagined that a terrorist would use a plane as a weapon , but when Bush attended the G8 Summit in Genoa , Italy , in July 2001 , they received intelligence that bin Laden wanted to hijack a plane and crash it at the Summit .This is why the airspace was closed , surface-to-air missiles were on hand , and while the other attendees slept on  a luxury ship , Bush was either at a US base in Livorno or on the USS Enterprise . I got this from an article on CNN's website ! I Googled &quot;G8 summit july 2001 security &quot; or something similar , and there it was . I guess Rice &quot;couldn't recall&quot; all of that - and no one on the 911 Commission ever brought it up . I'm shocked! The 911 Commision's whole agenda was to put an official , legitimate face on a whitewash , pure and simple . Gosh , who's gonna argue with good old Tom Kean ? It must have happened that way , because the 911 Commission said so ! I can't wait for the truth to come out !
