Sep 13, 06 05:47 pm — I have watched enough of the 5 years from 9/11 coverage to work up a head of steam. I am talking about real anger here.

First I am angry at that those lunatics who planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. It just about makes my blood boil to think that they probably shouted out that phrase that Islamic terrorists aways call out when they do something inhuman and barbaric; "God is great!" No one, no matter what their religious beliefs should be fooled for one minute into thinking that this atrocity would be pleasing to our Maker. You terrorists are not religious heros. You are mass murderers of totally innocent men, women, and children. You represent a threat to genuine faith as well as a threat to human civilization in general. You are purest hate in the service of evil. You suck!

Second, I am angry that our political leaders, of both parties but especially the Bush Administration have played the 9/11 tragedy the way Bill Murray's character in Ghostbusters played his job as an academic researcher at the beginning of the movie; as a dodge, a lark, an opportunity to pretend to do his job while going after personal goals. We were attacked by al Qaeda, but our leaders decided to go after Saddam's Iraq instead. The only connection between Saddam and the 9/11 attacks was the phony one that our government pretended existed so that they could get what they wanted from us. In five years they have plundered the national treasury, and good nature of the American people (many of whom are just now catching on to the con game), and the good will of the nations of the world.

It is still not clear why they have chosen to play us for a con instead of actually doing their jobs and living up to their responsibilities, but in the end it doesn't really matter. They suck and history will record their suckage for all time.

But the thing that really torques me off the worst is the symbiotic relationship that has now developed between Bush and al Qaeda. Every time an election cycle comes around, you can expect a rash of threating new videos from al Qaeda, which has the knee jerk reaction among Americans to put more unearned and unjustified faith in Bush. Bush, who often fails at the simpliest of tasks, never fails to exploit that faith, to bring in that fraidy cat vote, so he can just keep giving the terrorists everything that they could ever wish for. That has to stop with the November midterm election. We have to get rid of any of them that we can.

Five years after, and we are worse off that the day the attacks happened. There needs to be some serious accountability for that

PS Bush was at his best just after the attacks, and seemed to say all the right things. Has anyone actually made a list of all the things he said he would do? I would like to know if he ever made good on any of them. I can't think of one, but maybe I am just too angry to think straight about it. He promised a strong response to the attacks which hasn't happened to al Qaeda yet, a full investigation, which he worked to undermine, and to take care of the responders, the heros of 9/11, whom he has turned his back on. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, he sucks!
