snip:
The conclusion of the September 11 Commission - that the al-Qaida plot might have been broken up if the intelligence agencies had cooperated better and shared more information - was accompanied by recommendations for the creation of a national counter-terrorist centre and a national director of intelligence to coordinate the CIA, FBI and other agencies. Scheuer believes this is a classic bureaucratic fix. "I've never known a dysfunctional bureaucracy made better by being made bigger." His answer to the al-Qaida threat, unsurprisingly, is to give his old unit at the CIA, the Bin Laden station, more resources and more firepower.
It is a solution forged by the accumulated bitterness of missed opportunities. In one year under his watch, from May 1998 to May 1999, Scheuer reckons the US had up to a dozen serious chances to kill or capture Bin Laden. Only one was taken - a missile attack on an Afghan training camp in August 1998 - but either the al-Qaida leader was not there, or he had left before the missiles landed.
Months earlier, however, Scheuer believes there was a far better opportunity to grab Bin Laden. The CIA had made a deal with a group of Afghan tribesmen to raid Bin Laden's headquarters near Kandahar and then take him to a desert landing strip, where a US plane would take him either to America or another country for trial. The plan, rehearsed several times over many months, was in Scheuer's view "almost a perfect operation in the sense that there was no US hand visible". But on May 29 1998, according to the narrative in the September 11 Commission's report, Scheuer was informed that the operation had been cancelled because of the risk of civilian casualties.
The pattern was repeated on December 20 the same year, when Scheuer's agents were virtually certain that Bin Laden would be staying the night at a guest house in the Kandahar governor's compound. President Clinton's principal national security advisers once more decided that the danger of collateral damage was too high. Afterwards Scheuer wrote to the top CIA agent in the region, Gary Schroen, saying that he had been unable to sleep after this decision. "I'm sure we'll regret not acting last night," he predicted. Yet another opportunity, in Afghanistan, was missed in 1999.
A timely digest of one aspect of Clinton malfeasence. Demands should be made on ABC to identify and justify any changes made in response to Clinton objections.
thanx.
All clinton malfeasance has the same root cause: Psychopathy. Profound dysfunction. (And we would have to be equally dysfunctional to put these two sick people back in the Oval Office.)
We no longer have the luxury of time or circumstance to massage our sensibilities, to indulge our indignations. We will not survive another clinton. (We may yet not survive the first one.)
bup
What we must do:
- Boycott ABC, Disney, et al. AND their sponsors. FOREVER.
- Get a copy of the original, uncut version, compare it with the broadcast version AND FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCES.
THOSE DIFFERENCES WILL PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE CLINTONS' CRIMES, SEDITIONS, SELF-SERVING ACTS AND STUPIDITIES.
USING THIS NEWLY GLEANED INFO, DIG DEEPER.
- Broadcast and exploit NONSTOP this new information along with the clintons known terrorism failures and other failures, crimes, seditions, self-serving acts and stupidities.
THIS NEW INFORMATION WILL BE ESPECIALLY USEFUL IF THE CLINTONS TRY TO RETAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN '08.

by Mia T, 11.11.05This legacy confab is in and of itself proof certain of clinton's deeply flawed character, and a demonstration in real time of the way in which the clinton years were about a legacy that was incidentally a presidency.
Madeleine Albright captured the essence of this dysfunctional presidency best when she explained why clinton couldn't go after bin Laden.
According to Richard Miniter, the Albright revelation occurred at the cabinet meeting that would decide the disposition of the USS Cole bombing by al Qaeda [that is to say, that would decide to do what it had always done when a "bimbo" was not spilling the beans on the clintons: Nothing]. Only Clarke wanted to retaliate militarily for this unambiguous act of war.
Albright explained that a [sham] Mideast accord would yield [if not peace for the principals, surely] a Nobel Peace Prize for clinton. Kill or capture bin Laden and clinton could kiss the 'accord' and the Peace Prize good-bye.
If clinton liberalism, smallness, cowardice, corruption, perfidy--and, to borrow a phrase from Andrew Cuomo, clinton cluelessness--played a part, it was, in the end, the Nobel Peace Prize that produced the puerile pertinacity that enabled the clintons to shrug off terrorism's global danger.

fyi
They want us to forget....... or think it never happened.
Keep it coming Mia !!!!!!!!
thx malia :)
You're the best, Mia! :-)
Great work.....as always!
:)
thank you, netmilsmom. :)
Thanks for all you do, great info there.
It is reported that the slimey scum accomplice Ben Veniste, obfuscator professionale, was operative in organizing the effort to suppress the truth of the ABC tv movie.
I trust that a deluge of public outcry has been launched by conservative masses in response to the influence of Clinton's closet ton-ton marcoute.
No doubt the creators of the film are trying to defend its integrity.
I trust further that the corporate hatchet men at Disney are dismayed by the dilema they are in and clueless as to how or why they should respond.
One way or another I anticipate another victory for the "bloggers"....
thank you :)
By attempting to quash this movie, the clintons have managed to focus the entire country not only on their terrorism failures, but on their corruption and their fascistic methods, as well.
Stupid... unless it is not the terrorism failures per se that they most fear.... (I'll have more to say about this in future posts....)
In the end, it won't be Lewinsky.
It won't be the perjury or even the rape.
It won't be the incompetence.
Or the corruption.
Or the balkanization.
What will cement the clintons' place among history's most contemptible villains will be their self-serving decisions.
What will cement the clintons' place at the bottom of the trash heap of history will be nuclear proliferation and "the terrorism, stupid."
But Clinton HAS ordered a Pure Kill... Of the FILM!
