Obama - Reopen the 9/11 Investigation-Part 1
Patrick Leahy has a point when he urges President Obama to open investigations about the Bush administration.
However, he's not pointing at the issue that we need to start with. Namely,
September 11th.
What really happened? More than a few people know - and
I am not alone in calling for those who know to start talking and fess up.
Let's not let this go the way of the JFK assassination - and whether with
subpoenas or on their own volition, I demand that Dick Cheney, George W. Bush -
both of whom refused to testify under oath during the 9/11 Commission
proceedings -- Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage,
Larry Wilkerson, George Tenet, Robert Mueller and the rest - as well as Bill
Clinton and Al Gore (both of whom also refused to testify under oath) -- start
talking, and in a public arena.
And I'm calling on the Obama
administration to open up a probe and unravel the web of deceit.
Before we tuck the Bush administration into bed and hiss,
"Nighty Night, you lying scoundrels,"
before we go on to lock the door on that heinous era
of American history, we do indeed need to probe what happened under their
watch. But the event that most concerns me is what happened on Tuesday,
September 11, 2001.
Oh yeah, that's history, old news, the 9/11 Commission
figured it all out, right? Except that members of the
9/11 Commission say it was "set up to fail" and that the investigation was severely hampered. So do assorted former members of the CIA,
who demand a fresh look at the events of that day.
So, President Obama - leader of a
new era in the
In following posts, I will outline some of the most mysterious coincidences and
events that deserve re-examination - and there are many, including how strange
things happen whenever Dick Cheney's around and the missile defense program is
slated to be cut as I note here and here. But let's start with the premise that all was not
told, and we deserve to know the truth about this catastrophic event that so
changed the world -- and boosted the military budget to new highs.
While the Obama administration is
fresh - and even though we're all grappling with this economy - I urge
Americans to demand that this be a top priority, and not to let Obama shrug off this "mystery" that was cloaked
by his predecessor.
