Good. These types of discussions make for healthy debates. Im not in their camp, but there are certainly aspects of the day that are strange (like Bush's 7 minute hesitation cause he was afraid to scare little kids by leaving before he finished his book).

I've never understood or been able to figure out why this was suspect to a lot of people. I probably would have reacted differently but who can really say for certain? What does Bush’s reaction translate to anyways? How does 7 minutes or even 30 minutes suggest anything evil is happening behind the scenes?

Dont jump to conclusions. I did not say anything "evil" was happening behind the scenes. Fishy, yes... evil, maybe not.

A plane flew into the largest financial building in the US, and other planes were unaccounted for. This whole eopisode screamed "terrorism". Bush and the secret service should have hightailed out of there instantly. This was as close as you can get to directly threatening the president (his whereabouts were known and he is a prime target for terrorism).

I agree that they should have fishtailed out of there and even taken all the children away from that building instantly. It was a bad move. But at the same time what we saw was a real reaction from not only the President, but from Secret Service as well that should have muscled him out of there. The reaction we had hoped to see has been rehearsed in numerous Tom Clancy based movies but it just didn't work out that way. I think that adds to the idea as well. Maybe it was because the information was so overwhelming? Who knows…

Regardless, I don't think any reaction short of jumping for joy and screaming "it's good!" with your two arms extended above your head like a football referee means anything.

Well I had a girlfriend who got dillusional on drugs, and it's no secret that Sheen is/was an addict. You can see it in his face... look at a movie from a couple years ago and look at him now. The mark of an addict is permanent, much like extreme liberalism eternal scarring of the soul.

He was also a fighter pilot, a Navy SEAL, a member of an infantry platoon in Vietnam, and his father is the President of the USA. There's no question he's in "the know."

You do remember that our current president had a drug problem...I see the mark of it on his face too. You don't seem to care about that though...

Then that would explain him staring into space and quite a few other things (i'm sure) as far as you're concerned. What it does not explain are the theories Sheen presents.

since when did being an actor make you highly credible?

Salty

It never has. All it does provide is a nice soapbox.

Haha, yeah I wasn't by any means defending the Sheen theory.

Yeah, but thanks for participating just to bash your president.

I was merely pointing out that the criteria you, Helladumb, use to dismiss the opinion of this guy is the same criteria you ignore when trusting everything Bush tells you.
