Mr. President

Let's play "What If"...
What if you were President of The United States, not on the basis of your qualifications, or even on the basis of an democratic election by the people? You became The President by having your handlers, the same people who handled your daddy and his predecessor and certain relatives, bribe, extort and otherwise cheat the election out of the hands of the legitimately elected winner.
What if, prior to becoming President, you had committed a felony against the US military - commonly known as going AWOL - eventually desertion? Still, your father and his ilk made it go away.
What if you were the son of a long line of oil men, but after having been given multiple oil companies, the best that you could do was dig dry holes?
What if, in fact, you were so stupid that words like "nuclear" were impossible for you to pronounce correctly?
Now comes the interesting part;
What if you were early in your presidency and had pretty much ruined the economy, pretty much proven that you had no workable domestic policies, and were looking strongly like you would never serve a second term? What if your handlers and cohorts were primarily composed of people who made their primary income from the oil business? What would you do?
Lets see... First, we need a way to distract the American people, preferably something that will galvenize them and focus their attention on someone else....but who...
The second thing we need to figure out is how to raise oil profits... hmm... if only those damn Iraqi's, Saudi's and Iranians didn't control so much of the oil supply...
On September 11th two aircraft were hijacked and flown into The World Trade Center, killing hundreds, affecting millions. There was zero (0) iraqi people one either of those planes. There were no iraqis on the plane which hit the pentagon, or on the plane that went down. No iraqi hijackers.
By September 13, George W. Bush's acceptance rating was remarkably higher than anyone would have believed before September 11, as a result of this (and proven malfeasance) he was elected to his second term.
Gas prices on September 10, 2001 averaged $1.40 nationwide. Today they are between $3 and $4 a gallon
So, do I think that Geo. W. Bush orchestrated the Sept 11 attacks? Frankly, I am amazed that he can orchestrate wiping his ass.
Do I think that the people who handled him, his father and Ronald Reagan orchestrated it? I don't know, but it certainly feels more plausible than a coordinated terrorist attack by a group of people who are unable to carry off about 1/2 of their suicide bombings successfully, and who have not launched an attack since.
It seems to me that if I had the wherewithall to hijack and crash several large commercial planes, particularly when 2 went to the WTC and a third to the pentagon, you'd think I could manage to blow up some buildings, hijack more planes...Something! There has not been one verified terrorist attack since Sept. 11, 2001.
Gee, George, mission accomplished?
