We've all been wondering where the 'smoking gun' which would show that the Bush folks knew the attacks were coming and did nothing went, well it appears that the answer is into trash cans around the FAA offices.  Where might evidence exist showing that NORAD ordered military aircraft to stand down and not engage the off-course commercial flights....which would have been necessary to keep the Air National Guard from automatically engaging.....and would have been necessary for it to take more than an hour to scramble a jet......yep, on these tapes.  Hell, even I didn't believe this at first, but it's starting to walk and talk more and more like a duck. However, there is no evidence that Bush has ever had sex with an intern, so don't expect an energetic Congressional investigation just yet.  Keep it up Free Pressers.
