The Three Amigos on 9/11
2008-06-05 18:38:00 anthony @ 17:33 BST James Corbett | 9/11 Blogger | Thursday, June 5, 2008 The Corbett Report has just released the final installment in a three-part YouTube documentary series seeking to highlight some of the bizarre facts surrounding the movements and whereabouts of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld on the day of 9/11. The three videos can be watched in the players below. Where Was Rumsfeld on 9/11? The first video, regarding the whereabouts of Donald Rumsfeld on the morning of 9/11, reveals that Rumsfeld was in the Pentagon as the largest attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor unfolded. In a startling admission on which he was never pressed, however, he states he was ‘out of the loop’ that morning and unaware of Flight 77�the hijacked jet streaking towards the heart of the American capital�until it actually hit the very building he was sitting in. In his well-researched article Donald Rumsfeld on 9/11: An Enemy Within Matthew ...

What?s Lame About McCain
2008-02-02 20:07:00 (image: observer) John McCain “lashed out” at potential opponent Barack Obama Friday, responding to statements made by the Illinois senator about their differences over the war. When comparing his war positions to Obama, McCain starts off strong: (His policies) “will be the difference between victory and surrender.” Then in typical McCain fashion, the niceties begin: “Without in any way ...

They talked and chatted about economic progress and North American security. Anything wrong with that...overall I would say no. After all we live in a capitalist society where the vast majority of people want to buy things and need to buy things; and the way to do that is by earning some good cold hard cash through an economic system of supply and demand. Were their discussions really a step toward North America spiralling out of control into a blackhole were the United States ruled everything and made all the decisions...for crying out loud we are already there. Now we had all these protestors, people with too much time on there hands, gathering around screaming shouting "Down with SPP and NACC!", ask the people and what not. These are the people that will scream foul one minute and then go back to their urban centres and drink their double-latte at Starbucks...
