That is a commonly held misconception.  The truth
is far more nefarious than that.  The Republican
party insiders decided to make maximum political
gain out of 9/11 from the start.  They saw an
opportunity to con the American public.  It worked.
Look at how blindly people of marginal intellect such
as Leuck believe everything they say.

That was an appropriate, meqsured response to a
planned but not execured attack.  The plot against
Bush Sr never came to fruition.  Had they actually
killed him the response would have been different.
We would have obliterated them without losing a
single American life.  Bear in mind, however, that
the Iraq War II had nothing to do with the plan to
kill the ex-president.  It was entirely about political
gain.

More accurately, the rest of the world did not
support Dubya's War because they saw it for what
it is -- a political power grab by a dishonest, stupid
Bush and his cohorts.  Bush doesn't mind at all
that he has killed more Americans than Bin Laden.
He doesn't give a rat's bunda about more than a
hunderd thousand Iraqis he has killed.

Sounds like a description of Cheney.
