Er? I am a die hard Republican? Jeez guys why did no one tell me?
I must retire to the drawing room and do the honourable thing.
But before I do.
Pragnosis - Something to think about. Without doubt there is more that goes on behind closed doors than we know about. However when looking for the hidden plots - the conspiracy theories if you will, have you ever noticed how there are nearly always multiple conspiracy thoeries? Now, they can't all be true.
Perhaps the Carlyle Group paid Marlyn Monroe to fake her own death and then destroy the WTC using sophisticated holographic models and pulverising rays derived from alien technology. Perhaps. But when you look at these theories they start to fall apart.
I once had a debate with a chap in Switzerland who ran a website explaining the truth about the destruction of the WTC. The problem, i pointed out to him, was that he had 6 different theories on his truth site - so which one was it? All he wanted was a conspiracy, and therefore he completely lost sight of his search for the truth.
Now, as the posters on this board know, i often don't agree with many of them, despite my die hard GOP leanings (am i the donkey or the elephant?) but nearly everyone here has some insight and amazes you with the breadth of knowledge they show. Therefore take your healthy scepticism, take some time, sit back, read, enjoy, do some research of your own and try not to cover all bases with one post.
And breaking my own rule :-
Bush need not be the most intelligent man on the planet. What he needs to be is a good leader and a good communicator. Cheney is often referred to as the most powerful US Vice President ever. That does not make Bush a puppet. I (at least I thought i did) come from a country with a political style that is much more combative and vociferous than the US. Therefore i am used to verbal jousting and debate that is faster and slicker than anything Dubya needs to deal with on a day to day basis. So to me, Dubya seems a poor communicator, but he isn't explaining stuff to me (apparently he gets my vote anyway), and the people he is explaining to relate to his "folksy" style - "he speaks like i do" is a frequent comment about Bush. So remember, just because it is different does not make it wrong.
