Iraq Prison Scandal In the year 2003 The Bush administration justified and led the American people into war with Iraq. The White house reported claims that Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, had weapons of mass destruction and that the people of Iraq were living under brutal dictatorship from their leader. Ostensibly the war was to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and eviscerate and remnants of Alqaeda and its affiliates. The war mongers of both sides (democrats and republicans), wanted someone or something to blame for 9/11. After selling their lies and plans for the war to the America people, congress had given President Bush carte blanche to bring justice to those who caused pain and destruction on American soil.
The attacks by Al Qaeda on September 11th were co-ordinated and calculated they hit the heart of capitalism and also the Pentagon another plane was ditched in a field in Pennsylvania which may have been heading for Washington D.C. almost three thousand people from many different countries were killed that day so the effects were felt world-wide. The response to this was the ongoing “War on Terror” with the deposition of the Taliban being the goal. Thirteen years later troops are still in Afghanistan and Iraq from both America and Britain although they are beginning to withdraw. Before the attacks of September 11th music had been used for protest there
The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two hours, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon, leading to a partial collapse in its western side.
This cover-up started within minutes of Pat's death, and it started at high levels." Only now, as a flood of public opinion is forcing the media to report critically about the Bush administration, will we possibly see a real investigation into how Pat Tillman died. And if we are persistent enough we might even see a proper investigation into why Tillman, and thousands of other Americans, and tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis, had to give up their
Throughout his whole speech, he uses an anger and disparaging tome to reflect Bush’s point of view. Overall, George Bush uses emotional appeal, metaphors, and tone to portray Al Qaeda as iniquitous freedom haters which persuades the audience to recognise his contention and accept his point of view. Americans are depicted as victims of war from the September 11th terrorist incident with George Bush’s speech. An anecdote is used in the first paragraph to portray this: “...Americans have known the casualties of war--but not at the centre of a great city on a peaceful morning. Americans have known surprise attacks—but never before on thousands of civilians.
What sparked this “manhunt” was the 9/11 attacks but this war effort has also caused a political uproar in Afghanistan as well. The Taliban, a baby Al-Queda headquartered in Afghanistan, want to violently push their own political agenda and have been continuously quarreling ever since. That aspect brings up a very important question, when will this war effort actually be over? Is it when there is political stability or a decrease in crime rate, or consequences for crime or better yet, a combination of all three? Only time will
As a result of the global financial crisis, Chinese leaders and citizens became worried about the ripple effect that came from U.S. Markets which worsened China's already slumping markets. A delay in local industrial production was caused by a reduction in the worldwide demand for Chinese exports. Protests also resulted from the increase in the unemployment rate because of factory closures and layoffs in southern China. There were continuous decreases in the cost of houses over the course of several months. Huge losses were also incurred from other industrial areas such as electricity production, textiles, non-ferrous materials and information technology.

Massport (A): The Aftermath of 9/11 On September 11, 2001, two planes departed from Boston’s Logan Airport destined for Los Angeles, California. American Airlines Flight 11 carried 92 passengers and crew members, while 65 people traveled on United Airlines Flight 175. Shortly after departure, terrorists hijacked the two planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City. Several thousand people died as the twin towers collapsed.1 Investigators concluded that a group of men working for Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization led by Osama Bin Laden, had “spent months planning the attacks from all corners of the nation.”2 The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), the public agency responsible for operating Logan Airport, became the object of intense scrutiny and criticism in the days following the attacks. Many people blamed the agency for failing to provide adequate security, despite the fact that the airlines’ security contractors screened all passengers at the security checkpoints.
However, the SPH program put a lot of pressure on store managers and sales. In 2010, a large group of the R&R associates sued it for “working off the clock”.
