I respect Robert Parry, but he and the person interviewing him are delusional if they think Osama bin Laden and al Queda were behind 9/11.
The notion that the Iraq invasion was an American “blunder” is also delusional. Nothing that is taking place in Iraq is troubling to the people who engineered the invasion. They want chaos and massive civilian deaths and they’re getting exactly what they wanted.
It’s odd that James Ridgeway in a previous interview in this series is *finally* coming around to what was obvious many years ago, that Oklahoma City was an inside job and the government and media have censored much direct evidence.
Yet, both Ridgeway and the interviewer felt the need to ridicule the 9/11 research movement.
And also I think Parry is either reluctant to say or unwilling to accept that BushCheney wanted to cause/increase chaos in Iraq, Iran, and Syria; and all their plans were to do so with our intention to plant ourselves there with massive bases and embassies, the last two already accomplished. Yeah, the truth is preety goblinish.
Poor angry Robert.
