Additional thoughts

One of the most mysterious things I can remember about Sept. 11, 2001, is Where is George Bush? We kept hearing that he been in a Florida school room and had taken off in Air Force 1 for some undisclosed location. In the meantime, Dick Cheney was running the war room in the White House and gave the actual order, according to the 9/11 Commission report, for U.S. Air Force jet fighters to fire on commercial airplanes that invaded D.C. air space without obeying turn back orders. It was already too late, but no one in command knew that and the order was issued. If Bush is such a great leader and in charge of the government, where was he on Sept. 11, 2001? Why did he seem to be out of touch with his own command centers? Why did Cheney seem to be in command, when Bush is the President? Interesting questions.

Another rumor has surfaced in comments on another Blog. Apparently several weeks ago, two or four depending on the source, the Pakistanis captured some significant, high-ranking Al Qaeda leaders. The rumor coming out of a Russian newspaper report and other sources claims that one of those leaders could be Osama Bin Laden. The Pakistanis have been known to keep the lid on the capture of a major terrorist for several weeks, such as the one they finally announced holding during the Democrat convention. It didn't have much of an impact because few people knew his name. But if they announced Bin Laden's capture three days before the election, would that have a different influence? Would they do that? Would the Bush administration ask the Pakistanis to do that? Nah!
