"Keen as mustard"
That's a new one to me.

I think there is a brand of mustard in England by the name of Keane, so that might be where the phrase comes from.


Except that the phrase "As keen as mustard" predates the establishment of Keen & Sons by at least 70 years.

It's Keen's Mustard (try a google image search on that exact phrase) after Thomas Keen, founder of the company (born in 1801, quite a while after Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia has him founding the company). See http://mccormick.com.au/keens/history/mustard-history.aspx

McCormick have bought the Australian rights to the name.

Definition 1 c) is where it comes from.
Definition of KEEN - Merriam-Webster online
1 a : having a fine edge or point : sharp
b : affecting one as if by cutting <keen sarcasm>
c : pungent to the sense
But maybe Keane just exploited the coincidence, I don't know.

There were lots of warnings about an attack occuring. Yet we are lead to believe it was a suprise attack. I still to this day cannot buy that the intelligence community failed in this regard, when it has fought a cold war with the USSR.

The chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission – New Jersey’s former Republican Governor Thomas Kean and former Democratic Indiana Representative Lee Hamilton, respectively – agreed that the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented.

“The whole story might have been different,” Kean said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on April 4, 2004. Kean cited a string of law-enforcement blunders including the “lack of coordination within the FBI” and the FBI’s failure to understand the significance of Moussaoui’s arrest in August while training to fly passenger jets.

Yet, as the clock ticked down to 9/11, the Bush administration continued to have other priorities. On Aug. 9, Bush gave a nationally televised speech on stem cells, delivering his judgment permitting federal funding for research on 60 preexisting stem-cell lines, but barring government support for work on any other lines of stem cells that would be derived from human embryos.

Scientists complained that the existing lines were too tainted with mouse cells and too limited to be of much value. But the national news media mostly hailed Bush’s split decision as “Solomon-like” and proof that he had greater gravitas than his critics would acknowledge.

CIA Director Tenet said he made one last push to focus Bush on the impending terrorism crisis, but the encounter veered off into meaningless small talk.

“A few weeks after the August 6 PDB was delivered, I followed it to Crawford to make sure the President stayed current on events,” Tenet wrote in his memoir. “This was my first visit to the ranch. I remember the President graciously driving me around the spread in his pickup and my trying to make small talk about the flora and the fauna, none of which were native to Queens,” where Tenet had grown up.

Bush and his senior advisers continued their hostility toward what they viewed as the old Clinton phobia about terrorism and this little-known group called al-Qaeda.

On Sept. 6, 2001, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld threatened a presidential veto of a proposal by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, seeking to transfer money from strategic missile defense to counterterrorism.

Also on Sept. 6, former Sen. Hart was still trying to galvanize the Bush administration into showing some urgency about the terrorist threat. Hart met with Condoleezza Rice and urged the White House to move faster. Rice agreed to pass on Hart’s concerns to higher-ups.

One of the main reasons that this is not fully convincing that it was just caused by the fires and not thermodetonators plus fires - is the fact that pools of molten metal running through the channels in the basement areas and is clearly visible from other photos where they were pulling steel beams covered with the molten metal.

Also, there are other main factors involved here, such as eyewitness testimony, accound and audio/video recordings that show multiple explosions occurring.

-- At the very moment I'm writing this, I'm viewing on CSPAN a testimony from WTC Janitor William Rodriguez as he and others claimed a major explosion in the basement are occurred about a minute or two before the plane hit the first tower as well as several other explosions throughout the buildings and his personal witness an assistance of a severe burn victim from one of these explosions.
I've heard debunkers claim that some of the multiple explosions were the result of propane canisters in kitchens that were exploding from the heat, however this is not possible because the WTC was a Class A bldg that had electrical kitchens with propane being considered a hazardous chemical that was not allowed in a class A bldg.

CSPAN is replaying this video every other hour today. Rodriguez' testified before the 9/11 commission, however was either ommitted by the commission or redacted by the Bush administration (28 pages redacted by the White House).

This and other questions such as Bldg. 7, the strange crash of flight 93, flight 77's ultra-precision maneuvers by sub-standard pilots (there are photos of an array of antennas that was installed on the roof of the pentagon at that location reportedly just a few months before the attack which could have been used for navigational guidance) and the multiple reports that 5-6 of the 19 reported terrorists that flew the planes are still alive.

I'm not claiming that any of this is true or not... but these are solid enough to warrant a major investigation that is not directed by the White house or influenced by corporate and CIA/FBI directives.

The Keane/Zelikow commission has reported that much information has been withheld and/or stymied from them during their investigation.

(Lee Hamilton, Vice Chairman, 9/11 Commission) states: I don’t believe for a minute that we got everything right. We wrote a first draft of history. ... People will be investigating 9/11 for the next hundred years in this country, and they’re going to find out some things that we missed here.

Peter Rundlet, Counsel for the 9/11 Commission states: Very possibly, someone committed a crime. And worst of all, they failed to stop the plot.

Senator Max Cleland – Former member of the 9/11 Commission, resigned in December 2003 states: "As each day goes by, we learn that this government knew a whole lot more about these terrorists before Sept. 11 than it has ever admitted.", "...This investigation is now compromised."

Constitutional_Patriot:

As we've already discussed, while they indeed had sincere reservations about how it was formed, funded and so forth, neither Hamilton nor Keane believe that the 9/11 Commission was ultimately unsuccessful. In fact, the opposite is true. The following is a quotation from their book Without Precedent:

Both of us [Hamilton and Keane] were aware of grumbling around Washington that the 9/11 Commission was doomed--if not designed--to fail: the commission would splinter down partisan lines; lose its credibility by leaking classified information; be denied the necessary access to do its job; or alienate the 9/11 families who had fought on behalf of its creation. What we could not have anticipated were the remarkable people and circumstances that would coalesce within and around the 9/11 Commission over the coming twenty months to enable our success.

In short, whether or not they believe that the Commission was "set up to fail," they don't believe that it actually did fail.

Further, also as we've already discussed, the information that was kept from the 9/11 Commission and the changing stories did not concern what actually happened during the attacks. It was the question of whether, during the investigation, NORAD gave the commission false information intentionally (to cover their mistakes) or inadvertently. (Regarding the attacks, however, the correct information was uncovered in the end.)
