33. Ya can't have it both ways, government apologists
Mon Mar 11, 2013, 08:51 PM
Mar 2013

I've come to learn that pointing out to government apologists the errors in their "thinking" is an exercise in futility. Besides, while they'll never acknowledge they're kidding the troops, they know that we know that that is, indeed, what they're endeavoring to do. It's all a ruse, I swear. Yes, you can take that to the bank as I refuse to believe for a moment that they could possibly be THAT left of plumb.

And I say, so be it. Apparently it's best that we attack government on its egregious incompetency to protect the American people even as we give thanks to the miracle of their being able to solve the crime within 48 hours based not on intelligence (an oxymoron to be sure) but rather on some fortuitous "finds." 911 is anything but funny; still, how the government has it going down, it's much akin to a Mack Sennet comedy gone sorely south.

Our apologists would rather admit that a motley lot of box cutter wielding Muslims hating our much superior lifestyle did on a trifling budget foil the entire military might of these United States of America backed up by all manner of resources that trillions of taxpayer dollars can provide.

Moreover, these same apologists would have us believe--and rightly so--that government leadership actually sanctions the type of wretched performance that was in play that fateful day when three out of four "planes" hit their targets without so much as a blip. Wow! China, Russia, North Korea, hear us ROAR!! Nothing to fear here, fellas. We're open for business. We're your high-end paper tigers (and we hang on to ours with no reserve). Seems that the loss of 3,000 lives was insufficient to warrant the immediate court martial and dismissal of those who failed abysmally to protect American lives on American soil. Seems life is cheap in the emerging countries, but here in America, too? Not the good ol' U.S. of yesteryear it seems.

And then, guess what? This same lame government empowered by their mystery solving abilities, sent thousands of more men and women abroad to kill and be killed by people who had absolutely nothing to do with 911. In fact, dear Uncle George received some cheap laughs one night as he pretended with much hilarity to "look for" Bin Laden. Turned out in the skit (some pretty funny stuff, no?) he wasn't interested in finding Bin Laden any more. But, then, why would he? Have you ever noticed that the truth comes out when you're least expecting it. And don't forget to take a peak-boo at this clip.

Oh my.

Finally, let's not get into a discussion about the downfall of the infamous Building 7 on account of all dem fires (insert huge guffaw). And let's not discuss what exactly was housed in Building 7 which made it de rigueur to dismantle. And let's not harken back to Silverstein clearly stating that he and the NYFD had decided "to pull" the building....cuz we all know (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) that pulling a building has nothing whatever to do with demolition.

So apologists, yoose has a choice--the government had an active role in 911 or it was derelict in its duty to protect American people on American soil. Either way, the picture in focus is a tad tainted................ya think?
