if I only had a brain

OK folks, I understand there is a lot of frustration out there with the current administration in Washington. As I have said before, I'm fairly conservative and while the W is hardly the best president in American history, I still believe he is the best of the choices we had in the last election.

I understand not everyone shares my view and many have what they firmly believe are good reasons for theirs. No problem. It's when the reasons get ludicrous that I start having issues.

I got an e-mail from the youngster's baseball coach today, the one that actually played A ball in the Dodger organization. Apparently he is one who doesn't share my world view, but felt compelled to share a powerpoint presentation from someone in England that backs his.

The presentation, as much as I watched of it, puts forward the premise that on September 11th, 2001, the airplane that hit the Pentagon never really existed. That whole crash was a hoax put forward by the government in an effort to gain support for an attack on Iraq. The pictures are allegedly non-photoshopped originals of the crash site showing a distinct lack of airplane debris, and explosion footage in the side of the pentagon that included no airplane.

OK, so let me get this straight. The government, in it's zeal to send our boys to Iraq, conspired to blow up a piece of the pentagon and blame it on a non-existant airplane. It held this plan in its hip pocket, waiting for the day when terrorists would attack the World Trade Center and then pulled it out, timing it perfectly so it looked like part of the existing attack. The Washington media, including the Post and the Washington bureau of CNN, are so administration friendly as to go along with the hoax, or were blinded to the fact that an airplane had allegedly hit a building, but couldn't be found. Nobody anywhere near the crash site noticed that there is no airplane, and yet, four years later from across an ocean, some Brit with an agenda blows the whole conspiracy wide open with this expose.

C'mon people. If you don't like Mr. Bush, he gives you plenty of fodder without making shit up, but if you're going to propagate stuff like this, please think first. Give yourself an ounce of credibility. As much as I don't think it'll happen, one day someone may really catch someone from this administration doing something highly illegal, and when they do, nobody's going to believe it because you keep pulling stunts like this and crying 'wolf'. Keep it up and you'll just get ignored when the real thing comes along.
