#1 One could easily substitute the name of Al Gore in this too. People seem to think that the asshats were sending detailed written instruction back and forth. The clearest failure of 9-11 was the FBI reports of poeple in flight schools not being acted upon. And a lot of that is because I think people just could not make the conceptual jump in their heads

#3 Perfect satire, certainly; but also a very realistic description of what actually would have happened if Bush had done, back then, what Democrats are now implying that he should have done.

#4 ...And in related news, UN sanctions were lifted today, paving the way for Iraq to rejoin the world community. UN chief and multilateralist hero Coffee Anon said, “This is a great day for the world. The UN Food for Oil program has kept millions of Iraqis from starvation, and ensured that the UN will be involved in all countries where legitimate oversight is required, especially now that the USA is discredited, and unwelcome, in most of the civilized world.

Also, President Hussein has signed the non-aggression treaty. It is with great joy that I proclaim, with the lifting of the sanctions, and the signing of this historic document, that the United Nations has ensured peace in the Middle East in our life time”…

#6 I thought Hyper's satire was very good. A lot of people on the Left would love to read this for real.
