April 2, 2004 -- Excerpts of a top-secret document detailing possible military options against al Qaeda and the Taliban - planned prior to Sept. 11, 2001 - were released by the White House yesterday.

The document, called the National Security Presidential Directive, was finalized on Sept. 4, a week before the terrorist attacks.

This cannot be. Condoleeza Rice didn't even know who Bin Laden and his organization was. /sarcasm

It' still not going to be enough for the DemonRats...they're going to whine "why didn't they have a plan on January 21st?..." Schmucks. All of 'em. I'm becoming Liberal-Intollerant - sadly, there's no medication available for it...

I think the 9/11 commission will be sorry they insisted on having Condi testify publicly. It is looking more and more as if Bush out-strategerized the dems again. I think there's probably plenty more memos like this that Bush was just waiting for the right time to release.

I bet they even have a plan for an attack by extraterestrial forces and the USSR coming back out of thousands of contingency plans. What gives libs the idea that Al Qeuda was the only threat at that time?

"It asked Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to plan for military options"

Dicky Clarke: "You could tell by the look on his face"

"against Taliban targets in Afghanistan, including leadership, command-control, air and air defense, ground forces, and logistics."

Dicky Clarke: "You could tell by the look on Mullah Omar's face"

"The NSPD also asked for plans "against al Qaeda and associated terrorist facilities in Afghanistan, including leadership, command-control-communications, training and logistics facilities."

Dicky Clarke: "You could tell by the look on Bin Ladin's face"

"The unusual step of releasing parts of a normally classified document comes amid allegations that the Bush administration was not focusing on al Qaeda prior to Sept. 11."

Dicky Clarke: "You can tell by the look on my face"

OF COURSE THEY KNEW! Unocal and Halliburton were BOTH supplying plans for a regional OIL pipeline as far back as January 20th of 2001. They knew all right!

Yeah...funny how it all falls apart for the liberal yet they, the media they, continuw to broadcast the same fals information without any sort of embarassment.

When it comes out and the public is reminded how the Rats stalled the Bush Administration again and again in getting key positions filled and even access to their hard won resources, the Rats are going to implode.

How many people remember how the Rats orchestrated delays so that even the GAO would not turn over keys and access to the Bush administration. Bush was harshly delayed by weeks if not months in getting his cabinet established and key post positions filled.

The Rats did their best to disable our nation at a time when efforts could have been put in place to prevent 9/11.

Innocent blood is once again on the hands of the democRAT Party.

Cautiously but anxiously awaiting Ms. Rice's April 9th public visit with more facts on the matter!

It' still not going to be enough for the DemonRats...they're going to whine "why didn't they have a plan on January 21st?..."

The only answer for that is, "Why not January 19th"?

What the democrats think or say should be the last thing we worry about, because they're going to put a negative twist on anything and everything that's positive for this country, so if we try to please them, we become paralyzed.

[Hardastarboard]

I've been thinking EXACTLY that! She is one of the smartest women on the planet, very cool and composed, and will KILL these guys in their tracks. She is the young, pretty, black female version of Rummy, and these fools are in TROUBLE! Condi gonna get ya, and good!

Bush needs to go.

He had a whole week to take out OBL and the WTC terrorists.

And he failed.

[dirtboy]

The lefties won't miss a beat as they shift back to one of two anti-Bush variants:

Bush knew beforehand of 9-11 because he was planning in advance to take out the Taliban, or

Bush and Cheney just wanted to build a pipeline through Afghanistan.

This is the key point to be said to every person who says "it's Bush's fault."

I recall that during the time when the election was in question during the 2000 election,the Clinton Administration refused to allow President Bush's transition team access to information.
