Monsoor Ijaz to testify before 9/11 commission

Please forgive the vanity, but I've done a search and cannot find any reference to this.

I saw Monsoor Ijaz on FNC an hour or so ago, and he said that he has been asked to testify before the 9/11 commission. He appeared to be anxious to do so.

If this has been posted elsewhere, I'll ask the mod to take this down.

Tom Kean is pandering to the WTC victim families. He hopes this will enhance his son's political ambitions.

I will vote for McGreevy before I will ever ever vote for Tom Kean's son.

[alnick]

when will he testify?

Don't know. Stay tuned. :o)

[alnick]

So will the Dems on the panel note his Debka-like winning streak on predicting world events?

Don't know, but it's not his ability to predict the future they're interested in; it's his testimony about things that happened in his presence in the past.

I think the 9-11 Commission hearings are a bipartisan thing.

Slight Alteration: I think the 9-11 Commission hearings are supposed to be a bipartisan thing.

They haven't seemed very "bi-partisan" to me. At least the press isn't making them look that way.

Breaking news?

[nuconvert]

He's still only a reporter.

He's not a White House or government employee. He may know (or not) what's going on in the Middle East, but he can't testify to what's been going on in the White House.

My recognition is that Phillipine intelligence tracked these guys to a hotel. When they broke into the room, the guys were gone, but there were papers with the plot on it.

I think this was a few years after OKC and no connection that I know of. This info came out after 9-11. It was posted here to show that Clinton sat on his a&^ and did nothing.

I'll keep posting the question. Someone will get it.

Are you serious? Berger, Albright, Clarke and a host of other Democrats vounteered to testify in public to try to force the administration to do so and play defence. That's all the Democrats are screaming about. Now, it's not going to happen Ijaz will tell it all. He was working for the Clinton administration and was the guy who tried to broker the deal between Sudan and Clinton. He knows that Clinton (and Clarke)could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. Clarke was an arrogant fool to think that he could stab the president in the back this way and get away with it.

Hastert regards Roemer as a partisan who attempts to project a bipartisan image.
Tim Roemer, a former Democratic congressman.

ANOTHER HAS BEEN!

>>>The commission is a KANGAROO COURT and absolutely worthless and biased.

Agreed. But as you well know, this is the high political season. We've all taken our partisan sides and now the last 3%-6% of the wishy-washy fencesitters need to make up their minds. Having Monsoor Ijaz testify will hopefully offset and blunt Richard Clarke's meanspirited, manipulative and arrogant remarks about the President and his administartion. Character and integrity do matter!

Welcome to FreeRepublic, YoSoy2! The 9-11 Commission hearings are supposedly bipartisan, yes. However, here's a little background for you: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1015502/posts

"How did these guys get into flight schools so easilly afterwards?"

How do they get in the country, that's what I want to know. Are they still coming here? Let's learn from the past to give ourselves a safer future, that's what this commission should be about.

Is the massive problem of illegal immigration even being discussed? I don't think so. Why were Atta and co. able to waltz in here and do whatever, culminating in 9/11? My enquiring mind would like to hear these type of questions asked.

[arasina]

You go right for the jugular, Dog. I approached it in a more diplomatic manner. LOL!

[breakem]

we need our own commission

[Dog]

I don't do nuance.....:-)

[arasina]

Did you happen to hear something about Clarke being at some kind of speaking engagement on cyberterrorism or something Friday and when the reporters wanted to ask him questions about his testimony before the commission he walked out? I can't remember where I heard it...radio or TV...but have seen nothing since.

I hate to rain on anybody's parade but Monsourr is as full as a Christmas goose. We have had all sorts of ridiculous inside stories perpetrated by Monsourr. I watch him on Fox all the time and they never pan out. Has anyone on FR ever stopped to consider that the reason we have so much competition in the blame game is that there has been a lot of prevarication(lying)from this side? Do we need Monsourr to trot out some more?

[jocon307]

"we need our own commission"

yes, maybe we can call it the triangulation commission, because on some questions we're not getting good answers from either side. and i would be considered by many here a real "bush-bot".

This morning, Clarke told Tim Russert he voted for Gore in 2000. He said he was not endorsing Kerry, but, who he would vote for in 2004 is his business. Duh. Can we guess who?!
Bottom line is, when Clarke worked at the WH, he was ineffective in his job. IF he believed our national security was in serious jeopardy, HE had an obligation to get that info to the President. When you think your country is in imminent danger, you don't throw up your hands at the first obstacle, you keep pressing or find alternative approaches to get your message to the boss. He blames Conde Rice and Pres Bush, but, he has only himself to blame. But, it's always easier to blame someone else....especially if that helps sell your book. Watching Clarke with Tim Russert, I thought, this is probably the guy who taught Clinton how to be slick. Clarke even looks slick.

Mnosoor worked for the Clinton White House in an official but unappointed capacity, much to the dismay of the State Department.
