    Evidently Dick Cheney and his sidekick, G.W. Bush, had something to hide. It must have been something important.

    If the Bush administration wasn’t concerned with getting caught in their lies, they would go under oath, voluntarily. If there wasn’t something to hide, they would be completely willing to go under oath. The Bush obfuscation machine has reached the pinnacle of denial.

    All names are taken

    In the weeks, months, following September 11, 2001 attacks, contradiction has been piled upon contradiction, raising the inevitable question: what is the Bush administration trying to hide?

    Because Bush detests being challenged.

    To be fair, and to be smart, Bush must cooperate with the 9/11 inquiry, but rather than embrace efforts to find out what went wrong on 9/11/01 to prevent another devastating terror attack, right wingers in the White House adopted Watergate cover-up tactics, stone-walling, lying, and of course attacking Americans who want to know the truth. Millions of Saudi dollars compromised the patriotism of top current and former Bush officials, including George W. Bush, George Herbert Walker Bush, James A. Baker III, and many others.

    It certainly seems to me that George W. and his cabal have something to hide. Probably afraid of what could be revealed into the failures to protect Americans from September 11 terrorist attacks.

    At the very least George W. Bush allowed 9/11 to happen, but the evidence indicates his guilt involves more than just a huge intentional sin of omission. His presidency was going nowhere. He wasn't elected by the American people, but placed in the Oval Office by the conservative Supreme Court; the economy was sliding into the usual Republican pits and he needed something to hang his presidency on. This guy is a joke.

    So Bush stonewalled the investigation at every turn, and the Bush Administration granted the 9/11 Commission only 3 million dollars to do its work. In contrast, $50 million had been given to the commission that investigated the Columbia space shuttle crash. After pulling together the information in the 9/11 report, it is understandable why George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are stonewalling. It is not very difficult to deduce what the president knew, and when he knew it. And the portrait that results is devastating. Well, don’t hold your breath that justice will be done. George W. Bush, Karl Rove, and all the rest are above the law.

    Obviously Bush isn't very proud of his 9-11 conduct, and definitely has something to hide.

    Because they know that they played a part in the devastation that day. he was just trying to finish his daddy's b/s mess in the Middle East. I think he read up on Nixon's mistakes & decided against it.

    Because dickie c believes fervently that he can do whatever he wants without having to answer to anyone and "the decider" follows behind and does what he is told. :(

    Under oath one has to tell the truth and nothing but.

    In order to tell it, one needs to recognize it.

    Blinded by the faith of their own rightness, I seriously doubt they'd recognize objective truth if they were pissing on it.
