This quote got me thinking.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that she was misled by the CIA on waterboarding. She spent eight years complaining about how dumb President Bush was and the minute she's in trouble, she says he fooled her

I started thinking back to the whole 9/11 conspiracy theorists. I've met a number of people who believe that George W Bush set up and executed the 9/11 attacks. They claim he was in fact an evil genius bent on finishing what his father started in Iraq.

But those very same people claim that George W Bush had the IQ of a slightly moldy peanut. They claim he wasn't smart enough to run the country. He wasn't smart enough to fix this countries problems.

Do these people not realize that they contradict themselves with these two arguments? Either he is smart enough to pull of 9/11 and convince millions of Americans that Bin Laden did it or is he stupid to the point that he can only count higher than 10 if he is barefoot?

It boggles the mind to try and understand this type of reasoning.

Don't you know that those idiots have a one track mind that can't multi-task. They can only think about one thing at a time. When they think about 9/11 they forget how dumb they think Bush is and vice-versa.

Since the conspirators are people in positions of wealth and power it is easy for them to hide their tracks. Considering the atrocities that the wealthy and powerful have visited upon the people of all nations, very little would surprise me. Dismay me but not surprise me.

Same here GoldWinger. I used to watch Alex Jones just because his points were so radical and he was so far from the mainstream, he had to be a loon. That was back in the mid 90's when I watched him on public tv in Austin, TX. Today, a lot of the stuff he was saying is in our faces. That scares the hell out of me. I never bought into the 9/11 conspiracy theory stuff but who knows if I'll be saying the same thing in 10 years.

South Park recently had an episode that covered this subject rather well.

I cannot remember which one it was, so I am hoping a die-hard fan can enlighten us or even point us to a video of it.

It is quite funny, too.

Found a clip, Season 10: Mystery of the Urinal Duece.

I have heard quite a few theories on the 9/11 attacks, but I have not heard about W being the mastermind. Prior govt knowledge, I've heard. CIA involvement I've heard. Even Govt agencies planting explosives in the WTC before the planes flew into them, I've heard. But no W being the mastermind. Interesting though, smart enough to be dumb enough to be smart.
