Despite the previous efforts of Congresses, our addiction to foreign oil, as the President stated, is greater today than ever before. That dependency is a threat to our national security, and we must address that threat.
There's no doubt that it's still a dangerous place, Afghanistan. The fortunate thing is that the United States was helping to provide security for Chairman Karzai. And it shows that the United States is committed to that regime.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

The fact that the price of gasoline has declined some in recent weeks must not allow Americans to be lulled into a false sense of security. Energy independence must rank along with border security as the top priorities of the United States.

From time to time, the irresponsible acts of the Cuban government remind us that this is far more than about the freedom of one country, but it really is about the stability and security of the region and the national security interests of the United States.

The United Conference of Hemispheres
How about...
The United States?
'No.
That's what we're called now! '
Oh...
You're right.
I forgot.
Well..
How about,
The United Federation of Americas?
'Hmmm...
Now that does have a ring.
With Canada, Mexico...
And the current United States.
I like the sound of it! '
Or...
How about,
The United Western Hemisphere?
'YES!
That's brilliant.
We'll have a meeting this weekend,
To discuss it!
But we must go slowly with this.
The people are already going nuts over the economy!
But I do love this idea.
We'll have the United Northern Hemisphere.
The United Eastern Hemisphere.
And the United Southern Hemisphere.
Whenever we come to meet...
We'll call ourselves,
The United Conference of Hemispheres!
Pass that by President Obama.
See if he approves before the announcement is made!
We must consolidate all nations as soon as possible.'

morning September 11 2001
first pictures of burning
World Trade Center
are broadcast on live television
reporters news anchors viewers
have had no advance warning
"What has happened in lower Manhattan?
"So who did know? "
"Which national organizations
were all in the know? "
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)
National Military Command Center
the Pentagon
the White House
the Secret Service
Canada's Strategic Command
all knew that four
American commercial airplanes
had been hijacked
and President George W. Bush knew
they all already knew
that one plane had been
flown deliberately
into the World Trade

that a second plane
was wildly off course
also heading toward
Manhattan that a third
plane had abruptly
turned around over Ohio
was flying back toward

in his mother's bed
after having a nightmare"
another said Bush
"skedaddled"
both journalists were fired.
Bush administration
flexed muscle
finally fired back at
reporters reviewing inaction
no concise record
freedom of speech
investigation truth allowed
forget conspiracy theory
What are the facts revealed?
Facts? None of the hijackers
were Afghani from Afghanistan.
None had links to the Taliban.
None had links to Osama Bin Laden.
Facts? Alleged hijackers were all al-Qaeda.
All were Arabs from Arab countries.
None of these Arab countries were attacked?
Facts? 9/11 justified attacks on Iraq?
9/11 justified attacks on Afghanistan?
No hijackers originated in these countries?
Don't believe me? Check the flight lists.
American Airlines Flight 11
Hijackers: Mohamed Atta (Egyptian) , Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian) , Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian) .
American Airlines Flight 77
Hijackers: Hani Hanjour (Saudi Arabian) , Khalid al-Mihdhar (Saudi Arabian) , Majed Moqed (Saudi Arabian) , Nawaf al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian) , Salem al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian) .
United Airlines Flight 93

Hijackers: Marwan al-Shehhi (United Arab Emirati) , Fayez Banihammad (United Arab Emirati) , Mohand al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Hamza al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) , Ahmed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) .
Facts? A justified invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq,
is necessary based upon "geostrategic interests in the Mideast,
including pipeline plans launched in the early 1990s
by Unocal and other oil companies."
But president Bush has no links
to oil companies and US war production?
Or does he, no, surely not?
Justification invasions
needs Pearl Harbour scale attacks
Bush orders NORAD
To Stand Down.
