Eggs & Jack, it appears that I was mistaken. Please see post #33. Landru corrected my misinterpretation of yesterday's blurb. Like I said, I didn't read the whole article as I took the first few sentences to mean that "60 Minutes" was doing a hit piece on the President.

"Tony Snow, on his radio program this morning, made reference to a newly discovered 1993 Iraqi document that DOES show that Saddam had some involvement with bin Laden."

Well Tom?
That'd kind of blow SeeBS' entire claim errrr smear of our POTUS now, wouldn't it?

Wonder how much coverage of this developement the Liberal-Socialist sycophant mediots -- & especially the Associated Press quislings -- will give this little fact, eh?

The Viacom monster should be made an example of, knocked down a notch or two & squared-up.
Viacom's repeated effort(s) to smear our POTUS & this nation have really become tiresome and maybe the wrath of god coming down on Viacom's pin-sized heads in the form of the FCC would be just what the Dr ordered.

...somone had better do something about those creeps.

Thanks for the pings.

The DNC PR agents are becoming so obvious perhaps they'll inadvertantly wake up some sheep.

Some good ammo:

I just called and got right through.

Told her it was a hit piece and they should have had a counter-balance from the other side.

Told her that last year Clarke was singing a different tune when he was interviewed extensively by Minter for the book Losing Bin Laden and that then Clarke laid the blame on the Clinton's doorstep.

Also told her I nearly fell on the floor laughing when Clarke said Condi Rice didn't even know who AQ was. TOld her the whole world knew who AQ was, especially since in August '98 OBL had a worlwide interview and declared jihad on America.

Thanks for publishing their phone number again.

Drudge has this as a headline now, that CBS has a financial interest in the book.

I'm never "wrong", you just misunderstood what I meant, even though I said what I said. And I'm standing by what I said, before you thought that I was wrong, even though, naturally, I'm right...

I'm trying to pull a Kerry...did it work? LOL!

Talking points to debate the lying points on the left:

Bob Woodward in his book Bush at War was given unprecedented access to the president and his administration, including Clarke. Clarke did not mention his concerns about a "focus on Iraq."

The Bush administration was continuing the Clinton administration's foreign policy which called for regime change in Iraq.

Iraq's involvement in supporting terrorists is longer than I can post her but some of the more obvious: Abdul Rahman Yasin, the one conspirator from the 1993 WTC bombing, had fled to Iraq and was harbored by Saddam Hussein for years. Paying Palestinian bomber's families. Salmon Pak where terrorists used a real airplane to learn how to hijack OUR planes.

Clarke claims that Condi Rice didn't even know who Al Qaeda was. I'm nearly falling on the floor laughing. The entire world knew UBL was a threat when he was interviewed in a world exclusive interview, by CNN's Nic Robertson in August of 1998, televised in it's entirety to the world via CNN and CNN International and when he famously repeated his jihad against America.

Just a year ago Clarke was singing a different tune, telling reporter Richard Miniter, author of the book "Losing bin Laden," that it was the Clinton administration - not team Bush - that had dropped the ball on bin Laden.

Clarke, who was a primary source for Miniter's book, detailed a meeting of top Clinton officials in the wake of al Qaeda's attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

He urged them to take immediate military action. But his advice found no takers.

Reporting on Miniter's book, the National Review summarized the episode:

"At a meeting with Secretary of Defense William Cohen, Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Attorney General Janet Reno, and other staffers, Clarke was the only one in favor of retaliation against bin Laden."

The list of excuses seemed endless:

"Reno thought retaliation might violate international law and was therefore against it.

"Tenet wanted to more definitive proof that bin Laden was behind the attack, although he personally thought he was.

"Albright was concerned about the reaction of world opinion to a retaliation against Muslims, and the impact it would have in the final days of the Clinton Middle East peace process.

"Cohen, according to Clarke, did not consider the Cole attack 'sufficient provocation' for a military retaliation."

And what about President Clinton? According to what Clarke told Miniter, he rejected the attack plan. Instead Clinton twice phoned the president of Yemen demanding better cooperation between the FBI and the Yemeni security services.

Clarke offered a chillingly prescient quote from one aide who agreed with him about Clinton administration inaction. "What's it going to take to get them to hit al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Does al Qaeda have to attack the Pentagon?" said the dismayed Clintonista

Great!

My anger comes from the fact that the elite NY media refuses to investigate where OBL is, Islamic suicide cults, their influence on their children, where the cults reside, video of the speeches they make daily, the governments that support them, the money that supports them, the history of their murders, their hatred and murder of Jews and Christians world-wide.

"60 min", NYTCBSABCNPRNBCCNNWASHPOSTBBC, have thousands of investigative reporters, we have seen NOTHING that remotely look like investigations, on Osama, Afganastan, Iraq, Israel, Arafat, Hamas, or any help at all to authorities or the public, world-wide.

Their agenda is evident, as it has been for 30 years of terrorist roaming the globe and murdering with impunity.

Israel and the US are the bullies, Islamic terrorists are victims of that power, and have only one way to fight back.

That is it in a nut-shell.

(Just like when Clinton was caught sexually harrassing a 21 year old intern in the Oval Office, KEN STARR CAME OUT THE PERVERT)

I didn't see it either but I know enough about it....to know it was a biased orchestrated hit piece on GWB and that is enough for me to let them know that I want a followup show with the Bush Administration given the opportunity to respond.

Please call....the more calls they get sends the message that we will not let their biased lies go unnoticed!

Also see my post #56

"Just got off the line...LIVE woman taking comments.
I told her that I would NEVER watch CBS again (and know hundreds who feel the same about CBS) due to this biased 60 Minutes Show UNLESS they have a followup show which permits people from the Bush Administration to present their side of the story."

Atta girl!!
Now, any *bets* SeeBS does as you've suggested; OR, will SeeBS air a responce *dripping* with sarcasm meant to make those who called sound like complete *nuts*?
Might even have one of their bigger nuts like Andy Rooney read the Hewlitt's reply, too.

"I also told them that because Viacom owns both CBS & publisher of Clarks's book; it has a vested interest and therefore the reputation of the show has been discredited."

*Again*.
Think SeeBS will in any kind of response tell their audience of the conflict of interest to their reporting you're cited, above?
Nawwwww.

"I offered my name, address & phone number but she said...no need...they just want to know how viewers feel."

Uh-huh.

...I'll just bet the SeeBS quislings do.

I heard Mansoor Ijaz on FOX this morning. Not only did he call him a liar, he challenged him to a face-to-face meeting. I would love to see that.
