so you think that because that because "Disasters were covered up or IGNORED" in the 40's, it's ok if there is now a cover-up RE: 911? There is a huge difference between a botched battle and an attack on your own citizens. Al Queda is NOWHERE near the threat of the nazi war machine. "terrorism" is a tactic you can NOT fight a war against a tactic.
I did not say they were covered up. I said it was not reported. Why? Because it would have emboldened and given our enemy hope. Demoralized the troops, and harmed the war effort. My comment was concerning the current reporting situation...Which is we don't care if we win, we must tell the WHOLE truth no matter who it harms in the field .. including the Iraqi People, and the soldiers.
There is NO COVER UP of 9-11 as far as a Conspiracy of Bush being involved.. or the New World Order, or who ever you think did this. Are some embarrassing details being witheld? Possible. It happened in the Kennedy Assasination, it has happened in other circumstances. It is also possible that revealing some information MIGHT JUST help the terrorists to find more holes to climb through and to kill people.
Terrorism might be a tactic, but you can fight it. IF YOU CAN'T then just start learning Pharsi and the other languages of the Middle East...as for me I hope we continue to go after the State Sponsors of terror...LIKE Sadam in Iraq.
Have you noticed that since the invasion that Syria has been quieter and that bombings and deaths in Lebanon are down? When was the last time you heard news from Lebanon??
Sadam was:
Paying Terrorist Suicide Bomber Families $50,000
Had allowed the terrorist who killed an American on the Achille Lauro to live in Iraq under his protection.
Was actively seeking ways to attack the United States.
Had not complied with "HOW MANY" United Nations Sanctions?
Would not allow inspection of facilities furthering the "MYTH" that he might have WMD hidden? All he had to do was abide by the inspection mandate and there would have been NO Invasion. YET we blame Bush and the CIA?
Sadam was actively killing Shiite Muslims and had anihilated the Marsh Arabs with Gas.
Sadam was actively killing Kurdish People.
His sons were running around the country raping and killing at will.
The Oil for food scandal run by Khofi Anan's SON! Taking money to buy food and using it to enrich himself and denying his people food and medicine?
This is state sponsored terror and it can and has been defeated.
That is my take on it..
