Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone magazine discusses the unbelievable extent of the Republicans’ corruption in Iraq and the complete and total lack of accountability.
MP3 here. (14:39)
Matt Taibbi is a roving national reporter and columnist for Rolling Stone. He’s the author of Smells Like Dead Elephants: Dispatches from a Rotting Empire, a collection of his writings about the 2004 election. He lives in New York City.
yeah, and he’s also known for slandering, insulting and laughing at people asking questions about 9-11, thanks a lot.
That’s true, but he does point out quite a lot of crap that goes on elsewhere with the sort of biting satire I like. I’m assuming he doesn’t want to get pigeonholed with the 9/11 crowd, and that’s his business, but lets not toss out everything he clearly points out because of that. The sort of brazen lies and chicanery he described made my eyes roll quick time!
The 9-11 conspiracy crowd are a neocon’s dream. A perfect distraction. A lame sideshow. They waste their time trying to prove that Bush and his Team planned or knew of the attacks while in real life, Bush and his Team commit mass murder unabaited.
Because most of them ARE nutcases, interested in saying “ha, ha, I know something you don’t!!!” If the Bushites could plan and carry out the 9-11-2001 attacks, how come everything else they do is a fiasco?

Hahaha, anyone who drives crazy these 911 nuts is worth reading. Taibbi is a very talented guy and I am glad he took on this 911 kookdom.
The 911 Kookdom is simply poisoning the political atmosphere.
The 9-11 conspiracy is so convoluted, that I have lost hope of ever finding out what happened. I am among the last to imagine Bush as a mastermind, but question such as building seven, among others, continue to remain unanswered. The great victory for the Government (regardless of their involvement or lack thereof, is that this idea (among many) remains outside of the bounds of acceptable discussion.
Questions that cannot be asked cannot be answered.

Merkans make me laugh, it must be the fluoride in the water . Any sickko zionist who can spell gets immediately postioned as an opinion leader and plastered over the “alternative press’. Well just in case Ajit and his pals don’t know who Matt Taibbi are I refer you to Exile tv.

Here Matt and Mark Ames his co-editor take a fistfull of Ritalin and Viagra (the designer combination for sickkos) and film a good five under the banner The Zionist Media Conspiracy jump to Babushka Bang Bus.
When you have finished getting a load of that you might subscribe to Seymore Butts for your political opinions. No wonder the Merkans are collapsing in front of the world the population is dumbed down to sickkos with idiot savantes leading the crowd.
Excellent work Matt! Keep on skewering the wasters of life and limb.
This war has not as yet been given a name. After reading this article I suggest it be called “The Republican Iraqi Gold Rush.”
For all of you idiots out there that think that 9/11 questioners are “kooks” and “conspiracy theorists,” just what would you call a story about 19 low-tech losers with carpet knives hijacking planes and flying them into buildings, anyway?
Where’s your proof that any of these Arabs ever got on any of the planes? You’re videotaped any time that you board a commercial airliner in this country — did you jerks know that? So why can’t either the feds or the airlines come up with one frame of video showing ANY of the alleged people on those planes boarding them? Why hasn’t one corpse of ANY of the alleged people on those planes been recovered and identified from ANY of the crash sites? Or any of their luggage? Or any of the huge, outboard engines, which are largely made of steel and titanium? Are you stooges so dumb that you actually believe that they can just vaporize into nothing in a crash?
Why, in six years, hasn’t the government been able to show anybody any video of a 757 hitting the Pentagon, when it is surrounded by outfacing security cameras?
Why, in six years, hasn’t the government been able to produce any credit card company records for the claimed purchases of plane tickets and rental cars? (By the way, anybody that believes the idiotic fairy tale that these people used their real names to buy plane tickets, and subsequently were able to board the planes using fake IDs, is balancing a box of s*** on their neck.) Why have they never produced any phone company records for the alleged phone calls from the planes?
You a**holes smugly declare that anybody that doubts these lies from a government that lied about Waco, Vietnam, Watergate, WMD in Iraq, Oklahoma City, etc., is a “kook.” And yet, you blindly believe this mountain of canards without one shred of actual proof to back it up. I pray that none of you ever gets on a jury in a criminal trial, because you would obviously convict a person without any evidence. All the prosecutor would have to say is, “Hey, I have all of the evidence in the world. I just can’t show you any. National security, you know. You’ll just have to take my word for it. And if you demand proof of my claims, you hate America, and you’re aiding a murderer.”
D***heads.
Well said, Big M. Too many unanswered questions to believe the official story. I don’t get too involved in it, it’s all theory, and most “truthers” miss the big picture with their pre-occupation of the events of 9/11.
