Video: 70-minute 911 documentary

A big hat tip to The Other McCain who posted this a year ago today:
If you have some time to spare, it is well worth the watch.

Related, a post from last year: Who would have thought that on 911, 9 years later, ... From a post of mine last year by Van Helsing, who would have thought that:

  • We would have a president who picked as a close White House adviser someone who stated that America got what was coming to us 9-11, that the United States was a terrorist country, and whose minister had said the same.
  • That the president who had kept the country safe from further terror attacks for eight years -- who turned Iraq and Afghanistan from our mortal enemies into our nominal allies -- would be reviled as a "war criminal."
  • We would elect a president who would say that victory over the terrorists isn't really our objective
  • We would have a Congressional leadership that was ready to cede Afghanistan back to the Taliban, because they didn't think the public thought winning was worth it
  • The president and his administration would be forbidden to speak of the 'War on Terrorism' because the language was considered politically incorrect. Instead, of a terror attack, the events on 9-11-2001 would be considered merely a "man-caused disaster."
  • Our Supreme Court would have concluded that the foreign terrorists who destroyed the WTC were entitled to the same Constitutional Rights as the Americans they butchered
  • We would have a president eager to bring terrorists onto American soil, and would have released other terrorists to taxpayer paid vacations in tropical paradises
  • The president and his party would be seeking to prosecute intelligence agents who put their lives on the line to protect Americans from another attack.
  • We would have members of an entire political party who thought pouring water on a terrorist's nose to save American lives was a horror beyond the pale.
  • Hollywood would have released several movies depicting our soldiers and intelligence services as the bad guys (Redacted, Syriana, War Inc, Lions for Lambs, In the Valley of Elah) , and the terrorists as innocent victims (Rendition).
  • A film-maker who described Islamic terrorists as "equivalent to our Minutemen" would be given a place of honor in the president's box at the DNC convention.
  • We would have a president who apologized to Islamic countries for America defending ourselves against terrorists
  • We would have a president that stood by and did nothing while the world's leading sponsor of terror developed nuclear weapons
  • Our borders would still be wide open, and two successive administrations would have done nothing to secure them.
  • An environmental group would use the horrific images of the murder of 2,800 people as part of a hip, edgy ad campaign.
