9/11 - the big cover-up?

The book, a behind-the-scenes look at the investigation, recounts obstacles the authors say were thrown up by the Bush administration, internal disputes over President Bush's use of the attacks as a reason for invading Iraq, and the way the final report avoided questioning whether U.S. policy in the Middle East may have contributed to the attacks.

Alan Greenspan claims Iraq war was really for oil

Graham Paterson

AMERICA's elder statesman of finance, Alan Greenspan, has shaken the White House by declaring that the prime motive for the war in Iraq was oil.

In his long-awaited memoir, to be published tomorrow, Greenspan, a Republican whose 18-year tenure as head of the US Federal Reserve was widely admired, will also deliver a stinging critique of President George W Bush's economic policies.

However, it is his view on the motive for the 2003 Iraq invasion that is likely to provoke the most controversy. 'I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,' he says.

Greenspan, 81, is understood to believe that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the security of oil supplies in the Middle East.

That does NOT point in the direction the Guardian writer apparently wants readers to conclude.

So, zippo, how about we knock off the disingenuous (or lazy) posts.

Jan '01 - Frank De Martini, deceased Mgr of WTC Construction & Project Mgmt, says in documentary before 9/11 that he believes WTC towers could sustain multiple hits from large jetliners, comparing it to poking a pencil through mosquito netting.

I guess it's pretty obvious that information is being held back after 9/11, and I'm pretty sure Bush isn't going to make an effort to let the truth be told. Maybe after a new president has been elected, some light will be shed on this.

blatham, i guess you havent read the comments posted on that story.

Tico, the Bush worshiper who pops in now and again... Just like Bin-laden
(Tic you should post some video's of you worshiping)

Everything that comes out of Bush's mouth is a LIE!

Remember those deadly Iraqi wmd's?

Here is something to keep your head in the sand:

Bush demolished the towers and killed 3 thousand Americans for OIL. (he also burned billions of dollars and killed thousands of US soldiers)

And you folks worship this guy ?!?!?!?

Bernie,

Though I may be wrong, I'm puzzled by your assertion here. The Guardian piece points the way to numerous situations that are just too puzzling to be accepted as the truth.

The gist of the article,

"You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to be puzzled and want an explanation, or to be sceptical concerning the official version of events.

Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack in US history.

What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on September 11 2001.

The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, respectively Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, assert in their book, Without Precedent, that they were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority;
and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.

Cyclo - Wht the Dems seem to forget, and what candidate Kerry can not make clear, is the Iraq WAS A CURRENT PROBLEM.

No before you go off on your "WMD LATHER", remember that the Iraqi govt signed a cease fire agreement after Gulf 1 which they failed to live up to as evidenced by the 8+ years of continual UN Resolutions confirming their failure.

You fail to remember that it was GW who went before the UN with a last chance resolution to Iraq. Again, Iraqi failed to comply.

Clearly, you can not negotiate with someone like Saddam and it was clear that AFTER 9-11, the US can no longer wait (as you suggest) until AFTER the fact to defend itself.

Yet, the Dems can not be clear as to what their position is and people like yourself fail to remember.
