The Trump Petting Of Elephants
Judy Keen, USA TODAY reporter, is whining on behalf of the Republican Party that the Foley Affair has diverted attention away from the issues the GOP wants us to focus on for the coming election.I assert that by doing so, Keen is instead diverting attention away from issues the GOP would rather we forgot - like why Attorney General John Ashcroft announced July 26, 2001 that he would no longer fly commercial flights.
Ashcroft reportedly received the same briefing by July 17, 2001, that CIA Director George Tenet gave on July 10, 2001, when he attempted to alert Condoleeza Rice that a major terrorist attack on the United States was imminent.
I say that something got through to her, for the information was enough for unnamed Pentagon officials to cancel plans to fly on 9/11 (as reported by Newsweek), and may have played a role in the scheme of short-selling of airline stocks by unknown persons during that period as well.
It is becoming more and more clear all the time that the Bush Administration knew a whole lot more about the coming attack than they have to date admitted.
It’s time that the American people voted for the truth after five years of lies and outrages instead of more of the same - and maybe worse. They owe it to those who died to keep this country free - and to those who died on 9/11 in the name of oligarchic advancement.
