I just got back from the presentation. George McGovern is a sweet old man who wants to pull the troops out of Iraq.

At one point he spoke about the three great blunders in American history...... He mentioned the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the current Iraq War.

He then asked if anyone in the audience disagreed. I was the only one to raise my hand..... the only one.

He called on me to explain.

I said that he was correct for the most part but he had left one great blunder out of his equation (which I couldn't understand).... and the was 911.

He replied that 911 wasn't a war...... I said it was our greatest blunder.

He then went into 911 but he was vastly uninformed about the events. The only thing he was able to reiterate correctly about the government story was the number of planes and the number of hijackers and the fact that the planes hit the WTC Towers. He stumbled over the topic for some time before moving on.

He brought up 911 once again later when he asked what was the reason for going into Iraq.

He mentioned that the first thing that W wanted to accomplish in his first cabinet meeting as President was to find a way to go into Iraq.

He told of the suggestion by the President to fly planes disguised as UN planes over Iraq and have them shot down.... justifying our move towards war with Iraq.

He even mentioned (very nervously) asking his friend author Gore Vidal about whether the President and his cabinet could have been involved in 911... and Vidal jokingly responded that they couldn't have pulled it off because they couldn't do anything right.... everyone laughed at the stupid administration.

At the end of the presentation he began taking questions. I raised my hand every time he looked for the next question. The announceed that he would only take one more question...... He turns and points directly at me!

I stand up and begin to speak loudly and clearly so the three hundred people there can hear me.

I got half way through my question when I was snuffed by the lady who earlier in the evening stopped me and told me it was illegal to pass out information without a permit????

She had a microphone and rushed it to a woman about 30 degrees to my left and the woman began speaking over me through the microphone. She clearly heard me asking my question but she didn't even bother to look my direction let alone wait for me to finish.

The lady was not going to let me speak to save her life. She asked some off the wall question which had little to no significance.

My question:

Sir,
You spoke about the Presidents desire to go into Iraq. Even willling to stage an attack on planes painted to resemble UN planes in order to instigate a war with Iraq. We know what Gore Vidal thinks, but do you believe that our President and his Administration at the very least allowed 911 to happen to meet their agenda of going into Iraq?

But I was cut off.... after George McGovern clearly pointed at me. Nobody siad anything. George didn't stop her and ask that I continue with my question.

Welcome to America
