Those voting C you do realize it says the "Bush administration" and not just the "government" don't you?
Do you honestly think a president who can't even pronounce Nuclear can plan and carry out the greatest attack on US soil in the span of 8 months???

You said it yourself. Bush Administration. Not just Bush. Can you say... intelligence and other select agencies? With a Mr. Dick Cheney at the helm on 9/11. Not to say Bush wasn't involved in his own special way, but the CIA likely did most of the planning. Those are the sorts of things the CIA was designed for.

Maybe you don't understand how our government agencies work. Only the heads of these agencies are put in place by the President/Senate. That's his administration. Everyone else has been there for years (unless of course they're new hires). The government has close to 3,000,000 employees. You didn't think all 3 mil are part of the Bush admin did you?
Bush and some of the Bush admin had only been in place of 8 months. Even by 9/11 I don't think the Bush admin was even complete yet.
If they wanted to do it, they certainly could, and I don't think anyone here can deny that. At any rate, the CIA alone could do it if you think al Qaeda could.

I think you lack a little in the history department.
As AlwaysLearning said, it's been corrupt for years. This is nothing new. Ever heard of Teapot Dome? Watergate? Iran-Contra? Ruby Ridge? Waco? Nothing new. And all the last ones involved intelligence agencies, too. I'm even giving the bigger cover-ups the benefit of a doubt here.
As a matter of fact, Rumself and Cheney were both members of both the Nixon and Ford administrations in the 70s, but somehow I doubt you knew that. :-/
To think that the government would not be capable of doing this is simply naive.
It's not like the government is one body functioning as a whole, and either everyone knows or no one does. Like I said, naive.
And no, not 3 million people. That's ridiculous. It wouldn't have been covered up well if 3 million people knew, as there would've been whistleblowers everywhere and you know that as well as I.
You're just going for discrediting me now, rather amateurishly I should say.

If you answered C on the poll and are a US citizen knowing the above......
.....how can you sleep at night without trying to right the wrong?
I would have to become politically involved in the process to help institute such changes as spoken by Thomas Jefferson.
One more thing...........what kind of secret could be kept involving such a high level of corridination such as an attack like 9/11?
