9/11 Commission Leaves New York With Battered
Reputation
The 9/11 Commission’s panel members traveled to New York this
week to question officials on the response directly after the
terrorist attacks on 9/11. It quickly turned ugly. On Tuesday
commission member John Lehman said the city's response to the World
Trade Center attack as "not worthy of the Boy Scouts.” He drew a
swift rebuke from former Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen.
On Wednesday Former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani took
center stage at the 9/11 Commission hearings, and scolded the
commission stating “the blame should clearly be directed at one
source and one source alone: the terrorists who killed our loved
ones.”
He also recommended that Lehman apologize for his remarks that
were perceived by many to be an unfair criticism of both the New
York City firefighters and police. Lehman refused claiming he was
“misunderstood.”
Emotions ran high as family members in the crowds heckled Mayor
Giuliani repeatedly, and once the commission allowed it to continue,
at times the entire proceedings seemed out of control. That caused
many to question the commission’s ability to deliver a comprehensive
report, when they couldn’t even control their own hearings.
The 9/11 commission went into New York with an already battered
reputation for some of the member’s constant grandstanding and
partisanship. It left New York with a more battered reputation.

Bush, September 10, 2001,
You and Dick were getting nothing
done
Then a glorious surprise,
A blessing in disguise,
The
fire in the sky
3000 people die.
Bush, when Andrew Card gave you the news,
You reacted like you
already knew,
You kept reading in that class,
You sat there on
your ass,
Instead of acting fast,
You let it come to pass.
I used to think you're a fool
Now I know that you are
cruel
You milked it for all it's worth
Told yourself you'd
rule the Earth.
Bush, you swagger but you're not so tough
You're a chicken
with its head cut off
I can never understand
The motives of a
man
Who worships God on high
No matter who may die.
Bush, remember as you drop the bomb,
You're creating your own
Vietnam
Since you dodged the draft back then
You cannot
comprehend
The side effects of war
The scars forever more.
The body bags no-one sees
The truth is now your enemy
The
media complicity:
CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.
Bush, you're not as dumb as you may seem
One man's nightmare
is another's dream
Build your empire in the sand
And hope that
it might stand
But time erases all
And empires always fall...
If the leader of all men
The one who can say when
The
button should be pushed
God help us if it's BUSH!

I thought it was a disgrace to watch the effete politicians of
the 9/11 commission berate the heroes of the day in New York city on
9/11/2001.
The members of the commission aren't equipped to carry
the bags of the former mayor and chiefs of police and fire
department and various commissioners of NYC interviewed. The few
heckling family members of victims clearly have their anger
misguided towards any New Yorker. The target of their anger, and of
all other Americans, should be past, present and future Islamic
terrorists. To paraphrase a hackneyed statement; those who can DO,
those who can't become politicians.

^Agreed.
Lyn, please, that's enough. Instead of relying on these false
lying sources to spread your propaganda, how about you use your own
brain to speak your mind on the issue at hand (or better yet, don't
post at all). You post the same propaganda in damn near every
post.
the police/firemen of 9/11 are the true heros. they died because
bush was a sleep at the wheel.
read the 9/11 time line.
the people who got chewed out..deserved to be chewed out. the
families of the 9/11 victims want answers..and the bush regime has
stalled and stalled. appointing kissenger reknown for his paper
shredding abilities..kissenger who was fully involved it the 9/11
1973 in chile..were
nixon and the cia toppled a democratically
elected leader.
america has been sold out for generations. the neocons are
coming..and true patriots are fighting back.
here's hoping moore's film will get distributed in the us of
a...coz it will expose so much info about what went down before
9/11.
i suggest you visit
http://www.pbs.org/frontline
and view the programs
the man who knew
and
behind closed
door.
time to wake up..i post credible sources..these are not
some off the wall conspiracy theory sites.
bush lied..3000 died.
he knew that 9/11 was going to happen.
the neocons needed another pearl harbor to put the PNAC into
action.
what's the matter jon g...can't stand the heat..the truth coming
out?
your hero is a zero.
visit
http://www.cspan.org/ and view the
9/11 commission hearings with out the political pundits. view the
9/11 families's press conference..man there are a lot of unanswered
questions..like who okayed that
the 140 saudis could fly out the
country..including bin laden family members..when bill clinton
couldn't even fly home..no planes flying except..escaping saudis who
were not even questioned..
yup..it is easy to understand why moore's film is being
blocked..do a surf for "kingdom holdings" a saudi royal family owned
company that owns a chunk of disney..and moore's film exposes the
bush/saudi connections.
time to wake up and join the other republicans against bush..do a
surf on the net using that phrase..loads of republicans are going
vote dem or nadar..anybody but bush..and his mafia.

scruples..and i honor my ancestors who died fighting in the rev
war..
don't tred on me buddy..or the country my ancestors ensured
would have life, liberty and pursuit of happiness..not some damn
homeland security and patriot acts than can invade your home and
lock up dissenters..
you're not much of an american if you are so cowardly to hide
behind legislation that takes away your freedom...or that you
support a traitor..gw bush..benedict arnold is a kindergarten
traitor compared to the bush league.
here's a seven minute interview that should wake up some people
up.
http://www.radiofreeamerica.tv/video/2003-12-12/911-group.swf
some very interesting questions are raised..why no inquiry into
the four 9/11 plane crashes? it's standard procedure for all airline
incidents.
loads of questions on 9/11 that aren't being answered
by the commission.
