If
the U.S. Government was complicit in 9/11, this
is consistent with history: In 1896, the Spanish-American
War was declared after the battleship Maine exploded,
supposedly bombed. But in 1976, a Navy historian
proved the explosion was caused by an accidental
coal fire.
After
the Bay of Pigs fiasco in Cuba, the military was
eager to invade. In 1962, Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff General Lyman Lemnitzer, proposed
to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara "Operation
Northwoods." According to National Security Agency
archives, Lemnitzer suggested blowing up a commercial
airliner and then blaming Cuba, or even killing
astronaut John Glenn on February 20, 1962, in an
explosion on the launch pad before Glenn became
the first American to orbit the earth. In his new
book on U.S. intelligence, Body of Secrets, James
Bamford notes that "the Pentagon was capable of
launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against
their own country in order to trick the American
public into supporting a war."
In 1964, the Vietnam War was kicked into gear after
the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Pentagon
falsely claimed "multiple attacks" from the North
Vietnamese, and President Johnson escalated the
fighting.
In 1991, public emotions were stoked by the masters
of war. Wiley publicists fabricated a story involving
Iraqi invaders who pulled Kuwaiti babies from incubators.
A 15-year old Kuwaiti girl "Nayirah" gave eye-witness
testimony before the "Congressional Human Rights
Caucus." Before bombing Iraq, Bush, and top Senators
made reference to her testimony multiple times.
Two years later, it was revealed that the story
was the creation of the Hill & Knowlton public relations
firm, who had been hired by the Kuwaitis for a cool
$10 million. The "Congressional Human Rights Caucus"
was not an official body of Congress, although top
Congressmen did attend Nayirah's testimony. "Nayirah"
herself turned out to be the daughter of the Kuwaiti
ambassador to the U.S., Saud Nasir al-Sabah.
On
January 29, 2002, CNN reported that both the President
and VP personally phoned up Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle and threatened him about his investigation
of the intelligence failures that preceeded 9/11.
On February 4, MSNBC reported that Cheney threatened
to tar Daschle as an interference with the war effort.
Will the world ever get the real answer about 9/11?
Not if Bush and Cheney have anything to do with
it.
