Matthews also had that widow that's leading the charge specifically against Condi in the 9/11 matter. I just saw the second airing of that .. it's obvious that regardless of the information ... this widow had her mind made up of who she was pointing the blame at.

I thought it was Dick Cheney's office that asked Wilson to go to Niger. No, they did not.
But that lie was put out there by the dems.

I took a few minutes to find you something that documents what I said about
Wilson/CheneyExcerpt:
Mr. Wilson has said that his mission came about following a request from Vice President Cheney. But it appears that if Mr. Cheney made the request at all, he made it of the CIA and did not know Mr. Wilson and certainly did not specify that he wanted Mr. Wilson put on the case.
Signing off but wanted to back up what I said.

Then why was his findings accepted as fact, even by the administration? They at liest have not refuted it. Why haven't they sent their own official appointee to investigate? Don't get me wrong, I dont believe Wilson's report but they have seemed to accept his findings.

Then I stand corrected. Thanks for the link.

and now I see Keith Olbermann promoing his show just starting and this heads the list. I'm just watching the 2nd airing of that now about Clark and Gary Hart's comments
First .. Bush was not in office 9 months when 9/11 happened
Second .. Neither of them addressed the fact that Clinton was in office 8 years prior to Bush taking office
Which just proved my point they are playing such political games with this report and this investigation to the point that hardly anyone will be able to take it seriously

CBS could have called Kean for clarification before running with the story originally, but chose not to ask those kinds of questions. classic.
I've had it with these people. This is an "us versus them" world we're living in, and I'm getting tired of abiding "them."

So what the hell was CBS about and last night's discussion here all the heck about??????
To: oyez
All the while those who want to cast blame, and there is plenty to go around, (CIA, FBI) in other words, Tenet and Freeh, there is to this day ranting and raving about the Attorney General daring to take steps to arrest those who want to murder us all.

There is a conspiracy to destroy Condi. They see her as presidential and want to remove her from the possibilities.
Can we guess who is behind this left wing conspiracy??????

I do remember Vice President Cheney saying he had no idea who Joe Wilson was, and certainly did not request he go to Niger.

I was surfing and caught the 'widow' spewing..........didn't even know the context.
Be assured that MSNBC is never a destination point.
That said, I caught about two minutes of Joe Scarborough and am wondering if the man is deranged or so desperate to keep his job that he has lost all semblance of reason.
Perhaps it was that week in hollyweird that got him turned.

The 9/11 panel is now officially discredited.
The media will try to resurrect these ludicrous comments and Kean will continue to deny them, making the entire process a farce.

Then why was his findings accepted as fact, even by the administration? They at liest have not refuted it. Why haven't they sent their own official appointee to investigate? Don't get me wrong, I dont believe Wilson's report but they have seemed to accept his findings.They were never informed of his findings (well, I'm sure after Wilson penned his poison op-ed they were, but not before, so it did not enter into their calculations). Here is what Tenet said about Joe Wilson's trip (It is quite dismissive):
Text of CIA Director George Tenet's statement
EXCERPT:
Because this report, in our view, did not resolve whether Iraq was or was not seeking uranium from abroad, it was given a normal and wide distribution, but we did not brief it to the President, Vice-President or other senior Administration officials. We also had to consider that the former Nigerien officials knew that what they were saying would reach the U.S. government and that this might have influenced what they said.
END EXCERPT
Please read the whole of Tenet's statement and see that even Joe Wilson had at some point thought Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger. A little factoid he ommitted when he decided to wreak all of this havoc. The administration has never said the uranium seeking was untrue. Just that they had not gathered enough verifiable evidence on their own to state it as categorically documented truth.
I agree the administration fumbled their initial response to the outrageous Wilson accusations, which were orchestrated to hit the media when the president had just arrived in Africa. I hope they now realize that many in the media will disregard facts in favor of DNC spin.

Does this take an expert? The terrorist attacks were, in their magnitude and occurrence in the U.S., foreseeable. The government's
job is prevent things like this from happening. Yet three thousand people died, and M. Atta was issued his visa six months later.
So, yeah, blame should be placed squarely on both the Clinton and Bush Administrations. What is the president for for chrissakes if not to prevent this sort of thing?
If you wanted to argue that the Clinton Administration merits more blame given their longer time on the job and the specific failures with respect to Bin Laden, I won't argue. But I don't take any satisfaction from that fact. And I don't think the Bush Administration's efforts toward what we now call homeland security was exemplary prior to 9-11 either.

it looks more like CBS sifted comments for anti-Bush material out of context and ran with it. Exactly. A little deft wordsmithing with statements taken out of context and CBS comes up with another hit piece tailored for Dem talking points.
To: Sub-Driver
Kean is a pathetic, weaseling coward. We would have gotten a better 9-11 investigation from Inspector Cluso or The Three Stooges.
