Tick, Tick, Tick… I’m Mike Wallace, tick, tick, tick, I’m Morley Safer, and I’m Peter Boyles, and this is the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle version of 60 Minutes.
I’m no fan of network news, however 60 Minutes on Sunday night, April 9, absolutely hit a home run. For the first time on national television, an issue that I’ve been talking about for 10 years, finally breaks the surface. The story of the 28 pages suppressed by the Bush administration and about the 9/11 attack on this country — gets national attention.
As one of the true geeks I read the 838 page Congressional report that’s titled, The Joint Inquiry Report. One chapter was suppressed by the Bush administration, and very, very few people have read those 28 pages. One who did, and has become a friend and a source, is former Florida Senator Bob Graham. In private and public conversations, “If you could read those 28 pages it would change your mind about what happened on that terrible day….”
I have written several times in the past about how George W. Bush, with Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld told the American people that Saddam Hussein was directly involved in the attack on the United States — that’s a lie. Following the tragedy, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and company, made a decision that they were going to invade Iraq. I personally believe they planned it many months before 9/11.
Here’s a very horrible statistic, over 90 percent of young American soldiers involved in the invasion of Iraq believe that their mission in Iraq was to “retaliate for Saddam’s role in the 9/11 attacks.” Many young Americans died, and God knows how many Iraqis, because of this lie. And as you can see today, in all the wounded warrior charitable programs, those wounds will go on forever. It’s clear now that using torture techniques, manufactured intelligence, and beating people into submission, the Bush administration cobbled an invasion.
In fact I’ve read that Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld demanded interrogators find cooperation between Saddam and Osama. Apparently, people signed confessions that they were never able to read. All that leads to the invasion of Iraq. So what do we know?
The Bush administration repressed the publishing of the entire Commission report until after the invasion began, and then removed the 28 page chapter that former Congressman Tim Romer said in 60 Minutes: “Even for someone who has all the appropriate clearances, these are tough documents to get your eyes on.”
So what’s there? My best belief is what it really discusses is the relationships between the murderers, the Saudi royal family, wealthy Saudis in this country and wealthy Saudis in the kingdom. One of the things that 60 Minutes did not do, is talk about something that is now known as “the flights.” Prince Bandar, (who some people call Bandar Bush), went to the Oval Office after 9/11 and talked George W into allowing privileged Saudi nationals to get on airplanes and get out of the U.S.
Question, who were these people and why did George W let them go? We know afterward the Bush/Cheney people took others and made them talk. I’ve always wondered what those people in those airplanes knew and when no one else in this country was allowed to fly.
Former Senator Graham has now appeared with Megan Kelly on Fox News, so as the power of the Bush family fades into history, some day we may all know just exactly what those bastards did.
I’ll end it with this. The only person who is running for the office of President of United States that cares, is Donald Trump. Trump said speaking at a campaign in Bluffton, South Carolina, “Elect me and you’ll find out who really knocked down those twin towers.” Go Trump.
