"Three common myths about the Bush Administration that have been spread widely by Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11
The 9/11 hijackers used box-cutters to take control of the four planes they hijacked, right? Wrong -- and how this popular myth got started
Did the U.S. fund the Taliban in the 1980s? It would have been tough, since the Taliban wasn't even formed until 1995
How the only source for the widespread idea that Osama bin Laden is on dialysis and is slowly dying of kidney failure has backed away from his story
Striking evidence that Osama bin Laden is not a reclusive multi-millionaire who can finance his terror campaign out of his own pocket -- and that Al-Qaeda is in fact perennially short of cash
What Osama bin Laden himself has said about the Left's pet charge that he was trained by American officials in Afghanistan -- plus six sources that show that he never had any relationship with the CIA or any other U.S. agency
The deadly lesson that the Iranian revolution taught to bin Laden and his comrades-in-arms
How bin Laden declared war on America five separate times and pursued his jihad war against the United States throughout the 1990s -- contrary to liberal media claims that no one had heard of him before 9/11
Bush knew? No -- as is clear from this close examination of the CIA memo that supposedly warned him about possible hijackings before 9/11
Were 4,000 Jews really absent from their jobs at the World Trade Center on 9/11? The truth about this hateful anti-Semitic canard
Since the September 11 attacks, the world is more dangerous for Americans than ever before, right? Wrong
Are U.S. troops in Iraq to make the world safe for Halliburton? No -- in fact, Halliburton has not made a fortune in Iraq, and is even trying to sell its division that runs Iraqi operations
Why there is absolutely no viable parallel between America's presence in Iraq and the Vietnam War
How the number of civilians killed by American troops in Iraq has been wildly inflated by the rabid leftists among the mainstream media and academic establishment
A war for oil? Why the U.S. is not fighting one in Iraq or anywhere else
No WMDs in Iraq? How the strength of the prewar intelligence on weapons of mass destruction was exaggerated -- but so is the postwar case against that same intelligence
Clear, uncontested, proven links between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al Qaeda
Saddam Hussein: a secular strongman with no connection to radical Islamic terror organizations? Not quite. His extensive record of cooperation with Islamic terrorist organizations
Why everyone from George W. Bush to Al Gore agrees that poverty is a major cause, if not the cause, of terrorism -- everyone, that is, except the scholars who actually study terrorists
Suitcase nukes? Relax: most of the information causing the fear over this has come from one Russian general who has changed his story many times
Colonel Oliver North: did he really warn America about the threat of Osama bin Laden back in the 1980s?
Did President Bush really say that Iraq was an "imminent threat" to America? What he really said -- and why it matters so much
Four overwhelming reasons why racial profiling would fail to make us any safer against terrorists
Borders out of control? How, as unlikely as it sounds, there are actually no known cases of Al Qaeda terrorists sneaking across the Mexican border
Why so many people are so eager to believe these War on Terror myths, no matter how outlandish they are
Five groups that are most likely to fall for these myths -- including liberals and antiwar crusaders"
A much needed book for all Americans to read it seems. Too bad not enough of them will. I ordered it immediately, thanks!
Could have. We were supporting the Muja-hadhin in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union occupation. In particular, we were giving $$ to OBL and his group. It turned out to be one of those "blow-back" situations. I'm sure not a few people in the military and intelligence agencies had serious misgivings even back then.
Pushing the poop back into the pony never works out.
People adore their media induced delusions and consider those who would shatter them lunatics.
1. Remind the left that every single Democrat of note said in 1998 that Iraq's WMD posed a danger to the United States.

2. Remind the left that Clinton's Justice Department obtained a federal indictment of Osama bin Laden which stated that AQ had a deal with Iraq. They agreed not to attack Iraq in exchange for weapons development.

But allow me to highlight something.
Five groups that are most likely to fall for these myths -- including liberals and antiwar crusaders
For those of you who have been here for a while, just who do you think fits the above description, although they never claimed to be liberals? They were and are still anti-war types, but they should immediately spring to your mind. Oh, BTW, they were LOUD.
Do you remember who they were? (I'm not talking about Justine Raimundo, either.)

I went to college with Rich Miniter at Vassar, back in the late 1980s. Good guy. I heard him on the radio and look forward to getting his new book! KUDOS!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
How did the hijackers take control of 4 jetliners?
I'm putting this book on my wish list & requesting it through our library on-line system. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to buy it.
