  1. watching it now

    something I have learned from it, which is quite useful to me....David Milliband is a young hothead who is not good at listening to,* and learning from, much more experienced [foreign policy - from actual overseas experience], veterens, such as Liam Fox [check out his work on behalf of oppressed 'Karen people' in Burma..plus the fact that he has been an ordinary G.P. with experience of ordinary people [as opposed to Uni straight to politics people]...but, of course...he is a Northerner *sigh* so did not win the Conservative Leadership election]

    * I feel he is wanting to make a name for himself

  2. like you I'm not impressed with David Milliband, but I never was. Bonnie Greer always talks a lot of sense but is not listened too.......I found the whole debate disappointing, much of it seemed like same old, same old.........no one admitting to past mistakes, just go on trotting out the same old stuff and glibly overlooking the millions of Innocent civilians who are dead.maimed and wounded.

  3. Oh no. Im sick of all the coverage. Its not healthy IMO.

    Remembrance - Good.
    Dredging up old wounds over and over again - not good.

  7. what are they [who is they] covering up?

    trying to follow

    covering up the size of the threat?
    ..or is this the Conspiracy Theory that the western governments were actually part of the plot to bring down the twin towers, kill their own citizens, and blame it on whoever?

    edit:
    could be those Zionists, of course...not bothered about murdering hundreds of their fellow Jews in the towers

  8. Yes... no.... yes :o)

    I don't think personally that George W Bush orchestrated the planes flying into the twin towers - I think that was just an example of gross incompetence and poor intelligence that led to that circumstance.

    Yes I think they then blamed it on whoever to hide the incompetence. Namely Osama Bin Laden and the "War on Terror".

    Our Government and the US Government have succeeded in doing what the terrorist were trying to do - namely put people in such a heightened state of fear and use that fear to control and erode civil liberties.

  11. my reference to 'lies lies' etc.............was not specifically aimed at any conspiracy theory, more about the legality of the war that followed, the number of civilians killed by us, the atrocities that are not publicly acknowledged for example the Huge rise in birth defects in Fallujah. In fact what happened in Fallujiah has never been openly discussed. Although the programme was discussion a about 9/11, much of it actually centered around the wars that followed and our response to 9/11. It was in this context I claimed 'cover up' 'same old, same old'
