Congratulations to Karl Rove and the president of Disney/ABC for the fine outstanding piece of work called “the path to 911”.  Although Karl isn’t as of yet directly connected to this brilliant piece of filmmaking, it bears his mark.

It’s all from Karl Rove’s playbook which the Neocon machine has followed over and over again to the letter.  One has to admire tactics that are outstandingly successful almost every time they’re used and the coach who practices them.

If you’re a chicken-hawk and you’ve received five deferments from the daft as Cheney did, or you got your rich dad to ease you into the national guard when they weren’t  fighting any wars as Bush did, and you’re worried about how that looks in an upcoming election, you simply swiftboat your opponent who was actually in a war.

If you don’t like the intelligence reports, memos, and letters a particular agency is giving you, information which will prevent you from achieving your “plausible deniability”, you simply attack them for their good works, purge those who won’t cooperate and blame the various disasters they predicted on the very intelligence organization that tried to warn you in the first place.

So if you’re the one responsible for 9/11.  If it’s your man in the oval office who ignored all the evidence he was receiving practically daily regarding the impending attack, who has personal, financial and political ties with the families who financed al Qaeda, who actively stonewalled investigations into these families and al Qaeda prior to 9/11, who ordered those very same families flown out of the country days after 9/11, and who took one year, dragging his feet all the way, to set up a commission to investigate the events of 9/11 – naturally you’re going to blame someone else.

And just like all the prior plays from the Karl Rove playbook; the Neocon's and Disney/ABC’s plan is designed to serve two purposes, One: is  to put those in the opposing party on the defensive. Two: is to cover up what those in the attacking party have done.

In the swift boating case the Neocons, One: put John Kerry on the defensive and Two: covered up their own abysmal lack of participation in active military service.

In the attack and vilification of the CIA the Neocons, One: enabled themselves to gut the one agency which might have stood in their way and report on their activities and Two: covered up their own involvement with 9/11.

In the attack on Clinton and the Democrats in "the path to 9/11" the Neeocons and Disney/ABC, One: enabled themselves to put the Democrats on the defensive….. again, and Two: laid the ground work for the Neocons own defense if any investigations of 9/11 should arise later on.

It is actually a brilliant ploy, despite the Democrats and most of the “mass media’s” ongoing cooperation in refusing to investigate what happened prior to, during, or after 9/11, the Neocons were sufficiently worried that if the Democrats should actually achieve power they would back out of their five year tacit agreement and begin a series of investigations.

Also the Neocon's and Disney/ABC’s tactics serve a very important third purpose, that of obstruction and obfustication.  Should the Democrats actually achieve control of both houses of congress and began any investigations,  this little preemptive mini-series will serve as the Neocons talking points, a political “he said-she said” debate, a “they did it also so you can’t blame us” argument. 

To be honest though, knowing the Democrats, it is most unlikely that they will achieve a sufficient number of seats to control both houses of Congress. Even if they did it is unlikely they would mount any serious investigations of the events leading up to 9/11 since they get their money from the Military-Industrial-Oil-Complex and the Saudi Royals just like the Neocons do.

One has to admire Disney/ABC’s courageousness however; to actually help the current party in power cover up and obstruct their involvement with 9/11, knowing that there’s a chance - albeit a small one -  that the apposing party could win in the upcoming elections.

For a company whose ABC's head quarters is based in New York to actually spit on the very faces of those who died in that city; to give a sarcastic one-fingered salute to the brave men and women in the Police and Fire departments who sacrificed their lives on 9/11 shows a moxy I didn’t thank a timid, bland, ossified corporation like Disney/ABC was capable of.

This is a form of corporate capitalist leadership we should all admire.

So again congratulations and kudos to Disney/ABC, their employees, Disney/ABC’s contractors and advertisers for their cynical fact-less mock-u-mentory of those who died on 9/11.

You should all be very proud of yourselves.
