If this is the case, it invites a serious analysis about the nature
of US capitalism. It would be the first time in history that such a
savage attack on imperialist assets were done with the knowledge or
tacit approval of the highest levels of government. Let's try to
imagine how the discussions would have gone during a conference call
in late September.

Rumsfeld: Okay, let's see if we got everybody on the line.

Mohammed Atta: Hi, guys.

Osama bin-Laden: Hope you can hear me okay. The walls of this cave
kinda interfere with my Nokia. I'm switching to an Ericsson next
week. They're supposed to be better.

Bush: Howdy, y'all. Let's see if we can wrap this up in just a couple
of hours. I got to go meet with my daddy later to put the wraps on
that there deal we was talking about, Ozzie (his nickname for
bin-Laden).

Osama: You mean that condominium in Orlando? Oh, right. That sounds
like a winner.

Rumsfeld: Let's get down to business, boys. Mohammed, you have all
your men lined up for 9/11?

Mohammed: I'm having a bit of trouble with the non-Saudis. They are
getting their instructions a bit confused. They are supposed to act
like they don't take Islam seriously by hanging out in go-go bars,
but they are overdoing it, I think. Last night one of the guys who is
supposed to fly into the North Tower with me went home with a
stripper and I had to drag him out of her bed this morning. He said
that he had fallen in love.

Bush: Just make sure it doesn't happen again. Nobody can get wise to
our plans. It would destroy my shot at being re-elected.

Osama: Mohammed, pay close attention. We want to make sure that the
Republicans are in the White House next time. Let's face it, for US
hegemony to be strengthened all over the world, we need the Bush
family in charge. With a Bush in the White House and the bin-Laden
clan in the driver's seat in Saudi Arabia, the world is ours.

Rumsfeld: Right you are. By the way, Osama, I got you down in my
calendar for duck-shooting in Saskatchewan in November. You'll be
able to get away, right?

Osama: No problem. And you don't forget to put that money into
shorting insurance stocks for me. I plan to make a killing.

Mohammed: Speaking of killing, did we make up our mind whether our
guys are going to fly into the Pentagon or Congress?

Bush: Well, I've given that a lot of thought. I think we're gonna go
with the Pentagon.

Osama: Why?

Bush: Ah, I got some friends over there, but the Pentagon don't make
me no never mind as we say down in Texas.

(Guffaws heard all-round.)
