Does Dean believe in LIHOP?

[mot78]

I saw Dean on Faux, and the guy interviewing him keep asking him if he believes in it. I didn't hear the whole part of Dean's reponse because I was busy.

[Demobrat]

1. He thinks it's an interesting theory.

So do I.

[cthrumatrix]

15. people against Dean are trying to portray him as "911 - nut" this is why

they bait him....

Never mind facts...never mind we refuse to investigate this incident..and refuse to cover the filed RICO suit against Bush.

This is a "sheeple strategy"...they can label him as "911-nut" becuase the media and the govt have hid an investigation.

This is by design. My take is they are playing with fire. The more people that are exposed to facts about 911 the more they will question what the hell really happened.

2. Sorry, what is LIHOP?

[moz4prez]

4. "Let It Happen On Purpose" per 9/11

[Kremer]

7. Thanks. I actually was reading about this yesterday on FTW.

[mot78]

5. LIHOP= Bush Let It (9/11) Happen On Purpose

[ComerPerro]

6. Let It Happen On Purpose

It means that Bush and his cronies knew about the 9/11 attacks, and decided to let them happen. Its a strong argument, especially when you consider all that Bush has gained and the ways he has benifitted.

3. It was classic Dean tap-dancing.

First he called it an "interesting theory" that the Saudis had warned the US prior to 9-11. Then, when asked whether * had prior knowledge of 9-11, Dean said, "of course I'm not saying that."

Whatever.

8. you need proof to level a charge like that n/t

[Demobrat]

12. Exactly.

He can't come right out and say Bush Knew without proof. He'll have to wait until he's president, get the proof, and then say it. But in the meantime, it is something a lot of people believe or at least wonder about, and that's a fact. No reason not to talk about that part.

[Scott Lee]

16. He didn't come right out and accuse Bush of knowing.

He said it's "an interesting theory".

Reading is fundamental.

[ComerPerro]

9. Well, its not easy to come out and say what everyone suspects

Look what happend to Cynthia McKinney...

Its a hell of an accusation to make without proof.


BUT you can bet your ass that if Gore had been president, and 9/11 had still happened (I say it wouldn't) then FReepers and all the right wingers would have been screaming about LIHOP from day one, and the media would constantly be pushing that angle.
Of course, they would be doing it without credibility. But when you look at Bush's Saudi ties and ties to the bin Ladens, added to all the warnings he got, then it looks very suspicious.

[chimpymustgo]

11. He gave a chickenshit response.

Absolutely, you have to have proof to level charges of that magnitude. But Dean launched an attack interruptus.

Started out saying it was an interesting theory, then completely backed off. At least he could have used the door he opened to call for a complete investigation.

I saw it - it was so Dean.
Waffle, flip flop, say whatever the moment calls for.

[madfloridian]

17. He DID say that only a full investigation would put the rumors to rest.

Or words to that effect. He did it on purpose. Would that be DDIOP?

[dajabr]

19. Can't be waffling if he never said it in the first place...

He has never said that he holds the opinion that Shrub LIHOP.

Prove me wrong...

[madfloridian]

10. But he said it.....and now it is being openly wondered about.

Of course he said he did not believe, but he said others did....that's why he said the 9/11 records need to be turned over...it was a way to bring it out.

[depakid]

20. Well, what would you say?

I completely agree with Dean. I don't know- yet from what evidence there is, it is an interesting theory. It'd be kind of nice to have more facts- the kind that would be scrutinized endlessly had this happened on a Democrat's watch.

[Myra]

13. I'm goin' with MIHOP.

Made...

When something happens, ask:
"Who did it benefit?"

18. So many inconsistancies....

There are a tremendous amount of inconsistencies about the official version of what actually happened on 9/11. Any reasonable person whould ask questions. Remember, they gave more money to Ken Starr to investigate Clinton's penis than they are giving to the office 9/11 commission.

One question - why is it, our air defensse could scramble planes within minutes when golfer Payne Stewart's plane had troubles, but they couldn't scramble jets when there were obvious hijackings? Is it not reasonable to ask such questions?

[AngryAmish]

21. If he does not beleive in LIHOP he is too stupid to be president

Just look at the facts, please.
