Let me get this straight. These are all things JTF has posted in the last couple days.

The US is making fake videos of bin Laden.

The US keeps forgetting to make bin Laden take credit for the attacks.

Bin Laden is dead (unless he is denying his involvement).

I don’t see the problem – he was alive after 9/11 and denied doing it, and he probably died within the last 6 years. He CERTAINLY did not get YOUNGER.

So here is a question for you. 10 days after Bush’s inauguration, regime change in Iraq was topic “A” according to then cabinet member Paul O’Neil – how was the Bush administration going to justify “Iraqi liberation” to the American people and the WORLD without 9/11? (Especially since he just got done campaigning on his “no nation building” platform)

2004 “60 Minutes” Interview with 2001-2003 Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O’Neil

War not realistic option before 9/11
3/23/2004
Democrats and Republicans alike told a bipartisan commission Tuesday that neither U.S. nor world opinion would have stood for such aggression before the fall of 2001. It was only after the Sept. 11 attacks that public opinion here and abroad changed enough to make an invasion politically possible.

Since reime change in Iraq was a national policy implemented by Clinton I don’t see the problem.

Hahaha, YEA DUH – he was being badgered into it by all the same bozos who were eventually given ACTUAL POSITIONS in the Bush administration…

PNAC Letter to Clinton - January 26, 1998:
“…We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.”

Sincerely,
Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Abrams, Perle, Bolton, Zoellick and “the rest of the usual cast of characters”
