America’s leading lights, including those in government responsible for dealing with terrorism and with Iraq, made a mammoth blunder. They failed to recognize that starting with the first assault on New York’s World Trade Center, Iraq was working with Islamic militants to attack the United States. This failure left the country vulnerable on September 11, 2001. Many of those who made this professional error cannot bring themselves to acknowledge it; perhaps, they cannot even recognize it. They mock whomever presents information tying Iraq to the 9/11 attacks; discredit that information; and assert there is “no evidence.” What they do not do is discuss in a rational way the significance of the information that is presented. I myself have experienced this many times, including in testimony before the 9/11 Commission, when as I responded to a Commissioner’s question, a fellow panelist repeatedly interrupted, screeching “That is not evidence,” even as C-SPAN broadcast the event to the entire country.
Let's see, who on that panel would 1)screech and 2) have the most to lose when proof comes to light that Saddam was involved with WTC '93 and 9/11?
Who could it be... who could it be?
Meanwhile, back in D.C., the Senators get to spend two hours this p.m. examining more photos. I saw a bunch of them on t.v. last night all saying how they were not sure they wanted to see them but felt it was their duty as a representative of the people...yada yada yada.
And John McCain is insane...I think he is nuttier than Wes Clarke....He (McCain)was on Larry King is Alive last night and when Larry finally asked him about Cindy, he barely answered him, saying "she's doing great" and then went on and on about how we must carry this up the chain. This was 20 minutes into the conversation before Larry even brought Cindy up. I can't believe that Bill Kristol thinks he should be Secy of Defense!!
Rant over, thanks for listening!!
