Well, this obviously has everyone hot under the collars. I'm always happy to debate up until people get emotional and the inevitable ad hominem attacks begin. Not here to convince anybody, just stating my opinion (which incidentally has nothing whatsoever to do with AJ or his ilk. There are more of us 9-11 truthers in the mainstream than most people would like to admit.).

As far as Bush's intelligence - I stated before that I believe it wasn't his presidency to begin with. I think Cheney, Rice, and Rove were all quite intelligent. Regardless of his level of involvement, he was complicit at the very least. Graduated Yale and Harvard? Money always gives a nice boost academically, as do politically-connected family.
