I'm building a new web site bushreelected.com. I use that name for rearch engine purposes only and its about what will happen in the future if Bush is reelected or reselected - or just steals another election.
I'm looking for some authors to write verious sections of this and create a fairly massive amount of dire predictions and hope to draw some attention to it.
Whistleblower the White House wants to silence speaks to The Independent
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
A former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance says she has provided information to the panel investigating the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew of al-Qa'ida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.
She said the claim by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information was "an outrageous lie".
Sibel Edmonds said she spent more than three hours in a closed session with the commission's investigators providing information that was circulating within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2001 suggesting that an attack using aircraft was just months away and the terrorists were in place. The Bush administration, meanwhile, has sought to silence her and has obtained a gagging order from a court by citing the rarely used "state secrets privilege".
She told The Independent yesterday: "I gave [the commission] details of specific investigation files, the specific dates, specific target information, specific managers in charge of the investigation. I gave them everything so that they could go back and follow up. This is not hearsay. These are things that are documented. These things can be established very easily."
She added: "There was general information about the time-frame, about methods to be used but not specifically about how they would be used and about people being in place and who was ordering these sorts of terror attacks. There were other cities that were mentioned. Major cities with skyscrapers."
The accusations from Mrs Edmonds, 33, a Turkish-American who speaks Azerbaijani, Farsi, Turkish and English, will reignite the controversy over whether the administration ignored warnings about al-Qa'ida. That controversy was sparked most recently by Richard Clarke, a former counter-terrorism official, who has accused the administration of ignoring his warnings.
The issue what the administration knew and when is central to the investigation by the 9/11 Commission, which has been hearing testimony in public and private from government officials, intelligence officials and secret sources. Earlier this week, the White House made a U-turn when it said that Ms Rice would appear in public before the commission to answer questions. Mr Bush and his deputy, Dick Cheney, will also be questioned in a closed-door session.
Mrs Edmonds, 33, says she gave her evidence to the commission in a specially constructed "secure" room at its offices in Washington on 11 February. She was hired as a translator for the FBI's Washington field office on 13 September 2001, just two days after the al-Qa'ida attacks. Her job was to translate documents and recordings from FBI wire-taps.
She said said it was clear there was sufficient information during the spring and summer of 2001 to indicate terrorists were planning an attack. "Most of what I told the commission 90 per cent of it related to the investigations that I was involved in or just from working in the department. Two hundred translators side by side, you get to see and hear a lot of other things as well."
"President Bush said they had no specific information about 11 September and that is accurate but only because he said 11 September," she said. There was, however, general information about the use of airplanes and that an attack was just months away.
To try to refute Mr Clarke's accusations, Ms Rice said the administration did take steps to counter al-Qa'ida. But in an opinion piece in The Washington Post on 22 March, Ms Rice wrote: "Despite what some have suggested, we received no intelligence that terrorists were preparing to attack the homeland using airplanes as missiles, though some analysts speculated that terrorists might hijack planes to try and free US-held terrorists."
Mrs Edmonds said that by using the word "we", Ms Rice told an "outrageous lie". She said: "Rice says 'we' not 'I'. That would include all people from the FBI, the CIA and DIA [Defence Intelligence Agency]. I am saying that is impossible."
It is impossible at this stage to verify Mrs Edmonds' claims. However, some senior US senators testified to her credibility in 2002 when she went public with separate allegations relating to alleged incompetence and corruption within the FBI's translation department.
White House Goes On Offensive Against Jesus
Satire by Daniel Welch
Washington, DC. - The White House, still reeling from this week's surprise return of Jesus Christ and His condemnation of the Bush administration's war in Iraq, has gone on the offensive.
An administration aide admitted to growing White House frustration that staffers had been "caught napping," not only by Mr. Christ's unexpected return, which the aide likened to "a thief in the night," but especially by His strongly worded condemnation of Bush's foreign policy. "After all," stated the staff member on condition of anonymity, "we've been working since day one to bring about Armageddon specifically to hasten the Lord's return. Then He does this. I've got to question both His loyalty and His timing."
In a blitz of morning show appearances yesterday, administration officials sought to cast doubt on the savior's credibility, as well as His motivations.
National security advisor Condoleezza Rice stated on NBC's Today Show that the King of Kings "Never gave us a plan to follow, really. We would have welcomed his input, but He was apparently too busy converting water into wine."
Rice's statements appeared to contradict those of Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. Appearing on CNN, Armitage stated that "The Redeemer had presented the administration with a lengthy plan, titled 'Revelations,' that "President Bush has endeavored mightily to follow. The President has been diligent about this, despite the fact that Yahweh doesn't exactly write the most clear or concise memo I've ever seen."
Appearing on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh's program, Vice President Dick Cheney questioned the Everlasting Light's credibility in His scathing critique of the Iraq war. "Frankly, He was out of the loop. I mean, where's He been for the past 2,000 years?" Cheney asked. "And now He suddenly makes Himself manifest in an election year?"
Fox News released a transcript purporting to show four different versions of the Messiah's story. Former Republican governor James Thompson referred to Fox's story stating, "Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. At least three of these are lies." Thompson added, "I'm from the Midwest."
In a hastily called press briefing, White House press secretary Scott McClellan sought to reassure the GOP's large Christian constituency that Bush still revered the Son of God. "The President knows Him on a first name basis," McClellan said. "He considers the day that he met Christ to be the most memorable event of his life."
When asked by Helen Thomas as to exactly when and where Bush met Christ, McClellan stated "The President doesn't remember such a meeting taking place. But it wasn't in the situation room, I can tell you that. Despite what He said, Jehovah has no witnesses." Thomas appeared doubtful.
Perhaps the harshest words were reserved for The Lamb Of God by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN.) Taking the Senate floor, Frist waved about a copy of the Bible, accusing The Way, The Truth, & The Light of perjury. "First He says He's the Son of God! Then He says he's not only God's son, He's also God Himself! Then he brings up this Holy Ghost business. It's weird outer space stuff."
Frist also questioned Christ's motivation for returning to Earth to criticize the Iraq war. "First you have this "Passion" movie. Now the book. It's shameful and Self serving."
Christ was later questioned about the film by reporters as He stood outside Pat Robertson's Virginia Beach studios in an ultimately futile attempt to appear on The 700 Club. "I've never met with Mel Gibson, nor do I ever intend to," sayeth the Lord. "I don't appreciate his anti-semitism."
Apparently someone in the White House left their Political Script on 9-11 behind at Starbucks this morning.
Now I ask you - if a Clinton official left something like this on the table at Starbucks - would you not be demanding a special prosecutor? That's the difference between how Clinton is covered and how Bush is covered.
Letter to the Editor
The issue has been raised about what Clinton did or didn't do to fight terrorism. I say - let's call Clinton to testify to the 9-11 commission - in public - and under oath. In the interest of getting to the bottom of the problem so that 9-11 never happens again - I think Clinton could shed important light on the topic and can address issues that have been raised.
Additionally - when Bush testifies it should also be in public and under oath. The fact that he won't take the oath makes it look like he intends to be less that fully truthful. I say - let's get this all out in the open.
Letter to the Editor
If the Bush administration went after al Qaeda the way Bush is going after Richard Clarke for saying that Clinton did a better job on terrorism than Bush did, there wouldn't be a terrorist threat to worry about.
Letter to the Editor
I find it amazing that Condoleezza Rice won't testify to the 9-11 commission referencing "constitutional issues " and "separation of powers". Seems I don't remember these issues being a problem back when the Republicans were dragging President Clinton and everyone in his administration before congressional panels. The way the Bush administration is hiding things make one wonder if they have something to hide? The more Ms. Rice says she won't talk - the more interested I am in hearing what she's not saying.
