158 academics have signed a letter calling for NATO to admit Ukraine. But they don't address the crucial question of when Ukraine should be admitted: now, or once the war is over. Neither option is straightforward.

Republicans Reckon Clinton Responsible for 9/11

category international | politics / elections | news report author Sunday September 10, 2006 17:07author by TW&EWOI.ie Report this post to the editors

Hilary Clinton will pay dearly for failing to object to the war

A genuis and sickening piece of pre-presidential election fiction/propaganda by the US Republican party

Senator Hilary Clinton might want to reflect on her calculation that by nailing her colours to the pro war-on-terror mast, it would boost her chances of being elected President of the United States. But the strategy looks unlikely to reap the dividends she clearly hoped it would.

ABC in the US and the BBC are tomorrow to air an American made documentary, starring Harvey Keitel (whose films this former fan will in future boycott) about the lead up to 9/11and which lays the blame for 9/11 firmly at the door of Bill Clinton. The claim is that because he was so obsessed with Monica Lewinsky, OBL was able to get by unnoticed by the Democrat administration.

Clinton is furious. "They ought to tell the truth" he is quoted as saying in today's Times "They shouldnt have scenes that are directly contradicted by the findings of the 9/11 report"

A spokesperson for the Clinton Foundation has said "It is despicable that ABC/Disney would insist on airing a fictional version of what is a serious and emotional event for our country."

Madeleine Albright, and others wrote to Disney's chief executive, Robert Iger, saying that the drama was "factaully and incontrovertibly inaccurate...It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has evern known."

The main consultant to the 'documentary' was Thomas Keane, a former Republican New Jersey governor and chairman of the 9/11 commission - the one about which there was so much secrecy and controversy - and which many of the victims families, among many others, believe to be a whitewash.

If this documentary gains any credence among the US electorate, then Hill's chances of being elected are abou zero. She will be forced, as the Clintons were throughout their time at the White House, to spend all her time in the lead up to the elctions defending herself and her husband against these allegations instead of campaigning on administrative policy issues. And that is to say nothing about the effect on the midterm elections just a few weeks away in November.

On the other hand, it could be a bad miscalulation by the Republicans, desperate to take attention off the reality of the way their War of Terror is going. The US public was sick and tired of the Lewinsky affair by the time it was over and this tactic must surely be transparent to even the most gullible of US voters.

The lesson to be learned here is surely that there is no payback on appeasing liars and bullies like Bush and Blair. Something for Gordon Brown to chew on too.

I think the best movie portrayal of that day was Michael Moore's black screen & sound of a plane followed by a bang. Anyone of us who went to the "movie theatre" must remember that moment. We very rarely see nothing on the big silver screen for such a duration. 5 seconds I believe. Almost allowed us time to think.

I refused to watch it.
I listened on the radio.

I am really curious about how many people can trace their de-sensitisation
to violence to that day?

If you actually paid attention during the show, it clearly blames OBL for the attacks and BOTH Republicans and Democrats for the failures and missed opportunities before 9/11to stop the rise of Al-Qaida.

It is clear that as early as 1993 when the World Trade Centre was bombed for the first time and Al-Qaida had trained Somali tribesmen to shoot down Blackhawks in Mogadishu that Al-Qaida was a war with America.

Bill Clinton still believed that the war on terrorism was a purely law enforcement problem because his advisors and the intelligence community except for a few such as Richard Clarke and O'Neill (played by Keitel) and field agents represented by the composite character called "Derek" (Donnie Wahlberg) who urged the US to fight terrorism more aggressively.

But many Republicans during the Clinton era such as Newt Gingrich were too concerned with shooting down Democratic social legistation in the House of Representatives and other domestic politcal battles rather than the global situation.

The Lewinsky crises took up most of Clinton's time during 1998 when he should have been reacting to the embassy bombings in Africa and most of the Republicans time because they were trying desperately to kick him out of power and take revenge for the Nixon impeachment in 1974.

When Bush came into power he was more concerned with domestic politics - the left/right divide and resurgent Christian movements who wanted to reform the prevailing liberal climate in late 1990's America - "compassionate conservativism."

In early 2001 Bush's focus was at first focused on the forced landing of a US spy plane on Hainan island and picking up where Clinton left off - trying to get Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat back to the table while bombings and shooting continued after the intifada began in 2000.

The threat of Al-Qaida was extremely vague because the intelligence concerning planned aircraft hijacks was extremely vague.

Neither Republicans or Democrats really considered Al-Qaida and Islamic terrorism as a domestic threat - they might lose a handful of troops here, bombing there and shooting somewhere else.

Nobody in authority at any level of government every considered for one second that Al-Qaida was capable for the attacks on 9/11.

There was a failure of imagination in Washington but not in Hollywood.

In the late 1990's a movie called "Executive Decision" was released showing a hijacked airliner taken over in flight and piloted by Arab terrorists intent on blowing it up over New York - of course Steven Seigel and Kurt Russell come to a highly improbable rescue.
In True Lies released in 1994, Arab terrorist sneak nukes in America in order to explode them in Miami and Arnold Swarzneggar wipes them out with a jumpjet.
in Die Hard: Die Harder, Bruce Willis takes out terrorists who hijack an airport and threaten to crash scores of passenger planes.
In the Jack Ryan novel "Debt of Honor" a vengeful Japanese pilot crashed a 747 airliner into the Capitol building and in the "Sum of All Fears" Islamic terrorists blow up the superbowl with a nuclear bomb.

It is somewhat heartning to read Articles about the 'big lie' bestowed upon all of us round the Globe.Ireland has it's own New World Order Plants in place in just every corner of our Society; Govornment ,Courts ,Councils ,Univercities ,Industry , Media etc etc.

I do think many People are now aware that the orchistrated 9/11 stunts were designed to fast foward the New World Order plan ,which, has been in the cooking pot since c.1776 or so - done under the guise of 'fake terror' and so force Populations to revoke their Civil Liberties for a more 'Secure World'. This method has worked perfectly for Centuries. A problem/reaction/solution senario - The Triangle of control and deceit.

The outcome will be a prophecised Totalitiarian Society , a mixture of Right and Left 'sides' , Fasism and Communism at their worst as one. Where a Global Micro-chipped Population that contains ALL data on the Number, I mean Citizen.
The 666 number of the Beast is contained in Barcodes where every Man -Woman rich or poor cannot trade or barter unless they bear the number of the Beast on their right hand or forehead.(rev.13). The interesting about this is only at these two points does the body burn two or three degrees hotter.

It will very soon come to pass that this be the way things will be. Passports are now bio-metric , Vaccinations have been found to contain micro-chips only half the size of a grain of sand.
Quick, get jabbed , there's a killer bird flu. I'm still waiting to die from it. RFID Technology , where all items on shop shelves contain one. For stock check purposes we are told.
Smart Technology ...Satelitte Monitering and remote tracking. Oh yea, it pays to be smart.
Remember the 'scrappage scheme'? Every Car after 1986 is fitted with a Transpondor?
We are all being numbered and tracked for slavery.
The monetary system enslaved us already.
Did you know the most valuable asset is your signature? One should write' all right reserved 'above it when signed or 'without prejdice'.
