re: #121 Buck

I don’t think you are even trying to understand what the issue is.

Imagine if when the planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and that field in Pennsylvania, George Bush said that he didn’t know the cause, it was certainly terrifying but that it was probably just pilot error. For weeks, in order to make it seem like 9/11 was just a freak coincidence, instead of being open and honest, imagine if the Bush administration (despite knowing the truth) lied to the world. Making speech after speech that pilot error is not the federal government’s responsibility.

This is exactly what the Obama administration did, and continues to do.

Pilot error is now some idiotic youtube video (the maker of that video is still in jail). Despite the fact that today the President says that he knew it was terrorism immediately, he failed to correct his UN ambassador. Despite the fact that the President says that he knew it was terrorism immediately he failed to say so when asked the next day. Despite the fact that the President says that he knew it was terrorism immediately he expressed a different belief during a speech at the United Nations, on the TV show the View and on the late night show with David Letterman.

You might think that your answer can be both green and red when asked what colour the light was. However that doesn’t mean you have answered correctly when it turns out it was red.

Now you might ask “What difference does it make?”. Well, I answer, if it doesn’t make a difference then why lie?

To even try to compare the 9/11 attacks where planes were hijacked and flown into buildings, where over three thousand innocent civilians were killed in an obviously planned and coordinated terrorist attack in the USA, to an attack on a desolate consulate outpost in Libya where an ambassador and three special security were killed in a very foggy situation is so far beyond the pale, and so stunningly fucked up I don’t even know what to say.
