Clinton And 9-11
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 8 September 2006 | Staff

Posted on 09/08/2006 5:07:50 AM PDT by shrinkermd

It’s understandable the Clintonistas and President Clinton are upset about the two-part ABC miniseries “The Path to 9/11” to be broadcast Sunday, concluding on the fifth anniversary of the al-Qaida attack on America on Monday.

Based on the 9-11 commission report and ABC News correspondent John Miller’s book, “The Cell,” the film strips away the conventional wisdom that somehow the fledgling Bush White House was responsible for 9-11 through neglect or indifference.

The film strips bare the Democratic talking points, exposing them for the fraud they are, accurately depicting the chances the Clinton White House missed to kill or capture bin Laden and the barriers they put up to connecting all the information.

It starts with the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, which the Clinton administration chose to treat as a law enforcement matter and not the first shot in al-Qaida’s war against America. That, the film shows, is where the path really began.

"...As Clinton guru Dick Morris relates, this first missed chance to capture or kill bin Laden came in February 1998, when “Clinton’s aides scuttled a CIA plot that had been eight months in the planning to kidnap Osama.” The plan would have used Afghan tribesman to capture the al-Qaida leader for a later trial in the U.S.

"...Believe it or don’t, Clinton’s aides worried that bin Laden might be killed in the process, making it look like a political assassination.

According to the 9-11 commission report, they were worried of “recriminations” in the event “that bin Laden, despite our best intentions and efforts, did not survive.”

The second chance came on Aug. 20, 1998, in the famous “wag the dog” attack at the height of le affaire Lewinsky, when cruise missiles were actually fired at a bin Laden encampment in Afghanistan. The problem was that Clinton ordered that the Pakistanis be told of the attack, lest they think it was an attack from India. The news was leaked, and bin Laden dodged our bullets. The final missed chance came in May 1999 when the CIA reported bin Laden would be in Kandahar, Afghanistan. As the 9-11 commission report said: “If this intelligence was not ‘actionable,’ working-level officials said at the time and today, it was hard for them to imagine how any intelligence could meet that standard.” It was the Clinton administration that could have put Osama bin Laden out of commission. It was under Clinton that Americans were killed by terrorists on three continents without a meaningful response. It was under Bill Clinton that we left Somalia in disgrace after dead Americans were dragged through the streets, giving bin Laden all the proof of our lack of will he needed. And it was Clinton’s deputy attorney general, Jamie Gorelick, who created the wall of separation between the FBI and CIA that kept us from connecting the information and preventing 9-11. What’s the word that describes all this? Ah, yes, incompetence.

The real bottom line here is the clintonists and dimocrats are complaining that some one else is telling stories about them. The truth of the story is irrelevant. They are crying over the fact that some one else is exercising their rights to talk about the run up to September 11, 2001.

And like very young, spoiled, brats everywhere they are threatening to hold their breaths (call in lawyers) until we let them have their way.

My take is - I wonder how many shades of blue they will turn before they start breathing again?

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

So upset they will force the show off the air. ABC can only "edit" so much. Clinton and dems will get this show removed from the air before any airing of it allows widespread dissemination of the facts surrounding 911.

I see where a new osama plotting 9/11 tape is out. I am almost beginning to think the media is turning on Clinton.

I don't know why it matters to liberals anyway, a fair number of them think Bin Laden is innocent anyway.

The media will never turn on their allies on the left. They live in harmony: one tells lies and the other benefits.

The democrats have gotten awfully pushy (and menacing) toward the media and if there's one thing the media stands for it's their right to show whatever they want.

Oh my, no one should want to let Clinton potentially have a bad legacy, now would we. That is the priority, and we did get it right, didn't we?

And if that fails, Socks can steal the damning evidence later.

I kind of suspect that this will end up being a white wash or the Clintons and their buddies would not be complaining about it. If they did not want people to see it they would just dismiss it as hogwash.
