Whenever
many of us question Bush's leadership, the
necessity of the Iraq war or the direction of
the war on terrorism we, are invariably
asked, "Have you forgotten 9-11?"
Americans
will never forget 9-11, and many of us have
images seared on our memories of that day and
the following days that REQUIRE us to
question the administrations actions since
9-11.
I
will never forget that Bush was warned in
August 2001 that Al Qaeda was planning a
major attack, but did nothing.
I
will never forget that after being informed
of the second Tower being hit, Bush sat in a
classroom in Florida for twenty minutes while
people were dying in New York and did
nothing.
I
will never forget that both towers could have
been cleared after the first plane hit if
Bush had issued orders based on the warnings
he'd gotten the previous month.
I
will never forget that no planes were
scrambled to protect New York or Washington
even though the FAA and NORAD knew within
minutes that four planes had been hijacked.
I
will never forget that days after 9-11,
members of the Saudi royal family and the Bin
Laden family without being questioned were
allowed to leave a locked-down America.
I
will never forget that no 9-11 air traffic
controllers have ever been interviewed by our
supposedly free press.
I
will never forget the testimony of Colleen
Rowley.
I
will never forget that NO ONE has lost his
job or been held responsible for the failures
of 9-11.
I
will never forget that 9-11 widow Ellen
Mariani has bravely filed a lawsuit against
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft under the
RICO act and her press conference was not
covered by any major US media outlets,
newspapers or TV news.
No,
I will never forget what happened on 9-11
