Sorry, there can be analogies

Sorry, there can be analogies between many things - there can be lessons even if not exact equivalence.

Didn't get the memo where you decide which ones are acceptable.

(Even the famous "Godwin's Law" is overrated & overreferenced)

So go ahead, jump on Aaron, & I presume you won't mind if I jump on you.

PS - your "million deaths" is also significantly off. And yes, the security failure on 9/11 was many magnitudes greater than Boston or Benghazi.

In reply to That's not what he said - why

I have a problem with anyone who on any level creates equivalencies between 9/11 and the Boston bombing. Anyone who does so deserves to be 'jumped on', and asked some questions.

We are talking about the worst terror attack in US history. A failing of the US national security apparatus that President Bush did not want to investigate. There is no analogy between that, and the war that followed resulting in a million deaths, and a couple of amateur terrorists and a pressure cooker bomb.

That's not what he said - why do you jump on him like that?

He's simply stating that the claims against Obama ("responsible for a security lapse") are an order or two lower than the claims against Bush ("ordered a traitorous attack on us")

Whether either of the claims is true is grist for a 1000 or more blog sites.

Ergo Aaron Carine believes that Bush/Cheney were totally truthful about events around 9/11, and every other catastrophe in their administration? Same as Obama...?

We do know Bush did not want to investigate what failures allowed the 9/11 attacks to be carried out. Who was to blame for no warnings, no hindrance, and no interception or interruption of the terrorist plans by the authorities.

We do know that Bush and White House staff started on anti-anthrax Cipro on 9/11, a week before the first anthrax letter was mailed.

We do know that establishment reporters like Richard Cohen of Washington Post said the anthrax "attacks were not entirely unexpected. I had been told soon after Sept. 11 to secure Cipro". Not unexpected? And right after 9/11?

And we do know the threat of anthrax was used by Bush to gin up fever for the invasion of Iraq. We also know the spores were of US origin, and the crime was pinned 10 years later on a dead man, who never stood trial.

I guess for guys like Aaron Carine facts like these add up to..........nada

These people don't seem to be saying that Obama ordered the bombing, whereas the 9/11 Truthers say Bush ordered the 9/11 attacks.

History rewind: The FBI couldn't even identify the suspects AFTER the bombing.

They had photos and videos of the two guys at the scene, and had interviewed at least the older brother a year or two earlier. A quicker ID and arrest would have saved the life of that 25 year old cop the brothers killed.

The crackpot right blamed the bombing on Obama before the smoke cleared.

I know just what you mean--forty years ago I fomented an intra office coup in my IT department, so the guys in neurotransmitter and hormone synthesis have a completely phony AV feed...I keep them on a need-to-know basis, and as far as they are concerned, they are manufacturing chemicals for the bloodstream of a 19 year old.....so far so good.

In reply to The whole point of post it

On the bright side, now that small, barely noticeable bluetooth headsets are in vogue, we can return to the classic method of communicating with ourselves orally without people becoming unduly alarmed. (I hate having a written record of what I say to myself. You never know when I might go rogue on myself and decide to use it against me!)

No doubt there are people who will cite this as evidence that the U.S. government was behind the Boston Marathon Bombing.
