9-11 Unforgotten, Part Two

scumbagThis is the second in a planned set of ten Raging Pencils', each addressing facets of 9-11 I feel have been sadly overlooked, running daily through the 11th of September.



--------------

As for today's comic, yes, Jeb Bush really did prepare to enact martial law in Florida if, you know, "something happened".

Also true is that there really were SAM's mounted on the roof of Bush's hotel. It was in the September 11th edition of the local Sarasota newspaper but you can read the whole thing here. (One would think they were afraid of an air attack or something.)

And, yes, Bush really did make the assertion, twice, that he saw the first plane strike the building on 9/11 on the TV. Considering the presidential limo is bristling with communications devices then, yeah, he probably did witness the attack.

-------------

Addendum 9-8-2011: Would it surprise anyone to learn that the hijackers had a base of operations in Sarasota? My, what a coincidence.

Sarasota, Florida. Come for the pet goats, stay for the convenient alibis.

Republican Job Creation Update

john boehner"We're going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs." - John Boehner, February 10, 2011.

The following is #75 in a list of Republican job creation activities since they gained control of the House in 2011. None, sad to say, have yet to result in one, single new job.

(75) 9-3-2011: A recent CNN poll reveals that those who self-identify as Republicans would rather the president focus on jobs, not the deficit, by a margin of 54%-44%. So why has the Republican Party not proposed one, single jobs bill in nine months?

Because they're not Republicans. They're shills for their corporate masters who they can't WAIT to get another Republican stooge in the White House so they can screw the American people all over again like they did from 2001-2009.

NOTE: As a result of an unexpected wave of enthusiasm for the Republican Job Creation update now has its own web site. It will remain on the RP but a web site of its own will raise its visibility on the 'net as we progress towards the critical 2012 elections. And I thank you for your support.

9-11 Unforgotten

September 7, 2001: Jeb Bush signs an order to impose martial law in Florida in the event of "civil disturbances or natural disasters."

September 10, 2001: Bush checks into Colony Beach & Tennis Resort. The local Sarasota paper reports that surface-to-air missiles are seen mounted on the roof of the building and that an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) plane circled high overhead.

December 4th 2001: Before a town hall meeting George W. Bush made the seemingly impossible claim: "And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on. And I use to fly myself, and I said, 'There's one terrible pilot.'"

January 5, 2002: Before another audience George Bush again makes the same bizarre claim.

September 11, 2001
Even so, after Chief of Staff Andy Card leans over and informs Mr. Bush that a second plane has struck the north tower George Bush sat in that school classroom for another seven minutes with the oddest look on his face.
