Live 9/11 Commission Thread

April 14, 2004 | Vanity

George Tenet, CIA Director, is due to testify to the 9/11 Commission.

Later today the FBI Director, Meuller, will testify.

Yes, I noticed it. After the second jet had hit. Which makes sense, because anyone saying AQ/Bin Laden prior to that was just completely guessing, whereas after the second jet we KNEW it wasn't an accident and it did fit Bin Laden's M.O.

These 'widders' emails were posted on FR the other day and I had to REFRAIN myself from emailing that Kerstin woman after seeing her on Mathews's show when Condi testified.

Every other word out of their mouths were lies. It was hard not to let them know how I felt. I wonder if she will continue her lie about "Ashcroft knew ahead of time, because he wasn't flying" BS today. I bet they will just go on to "another" lie until that is debunked in public. I used to have sympathy for these Jersey widders.....anymore they don't deserve it.

Reporting for duty. Mueller up now.

How come the RNC/pres does not remind the sheep about the well documented article in al-nasiriya by Naeem Abd Muhalhal in Iraq two months before 9/11 indicating that Iraq knew about the 9/11 conspiracy and approved of Bin Laden, heartily as working in a unified cause.

this certainly proves to me that Iraq know about and approved of the plot, but it cuts both ways. Why didn't someone notice this?

Now for my two cents: the more we invest in counterintelligence, the more the goons will be able to tie us in knots with bogus rumors. the only thing that matters in this war is getting nations to stop the funding. This is what the Iraq war is about. We'll just have to see ho it works out.

[epluribus_2]

people need to be reminded that we were engaged already in a military conflict with Iraq at the time of 9/11 and that the president had every reason to suspect Saddam and OBL both. And he did something about both. The rats did (next to) nothing about either in eight sorry years.

No way! She did not say that! What a hoot. I'm laughing out loud in my office and people are looking at me. Man that's funny!

[Howlin]

Hand on my heart, she did; almost word for word.

[Peach]

Just got back home; to my knowledge Rush has not repeated his claim.

Perhaps I misunderstood and he was talking about Soros giving money to Arlen Specter's campaign, which Specter basically denies.

[bornintexas]

Chairman Kean always looks like he's about to fall asleep when they come back from lunch. This thing is such a freakin' joke.

[Trust but Verify]

Even the fact they supposedly told the flight schools they wanted to learn how to fly planes into buildings? BTW, do these women have any children? Who do they have taking care of them while they launch their vindictive assault on our President?

[Miss Marple]

Robert Mueller looks like G-Man from Central Casting.

[ironman]

"Kristen is now on with Chris claiming that the FBI should have checked all the flight schools because one of the guys in the school in Florida "only wanted to learn how to fly planes into building."

I thought the talking point was "only wanted to learn to fly and not take off and land." Kristen has really got her tinfoil hat on. Actually on Hardball last night I believe it was Thompson who disabused Mathews of this urban legend.

[Howlin]

I'm telling you that she said (don't quote me word for word) "...the FBI didn't even bother to check into the flight school in Florida after they knew that he (Massoui ?) only wanted to learn how to fly planes into buildings."

And Matthews said "Uh huh" like she was Moses bringing the tablets down from the mountain.

[Howlin]

I thought the talking point was "only wanted to learn to fly and not take off and land."

Well, that one went down the drain yesterday when somebody testified that that was not true, that the Arizona guy only wanted to learn how to fly 747s.

So now they have moved the goal line to "buildings."

[Coop]

Just got back home; to my knowledge Rush has not repeated his claim.

Okay, thanks for the update.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Anyone else hearing the wonderful woman speaking on Rush who lost her son on 9/11? She's saying that she cannot understand those other 9/11 families and hos sick she is of all the Bush bashing. She also said she thanks G** everyday for President Bush.

She made a unique statement that her grandson sat her down and said her son died, so that his family could live in freedom. Rush said he'd never heard that take on it.

We must never forget that those who perished on 9/11 joined all of the other victims of terrorism as the first casualties in this war. My prayers for her family.

[Peach]

As someone mentioned on another thread, it's unlikely Soros would need to fund that ad because the ad itself only cost a little over $90.

Given what Rush has said about Soros and Specter, and that no one else heard what I did, I think I misunderstood.

[Howlin]

Actually, Trust, I believe Chris Matthews' wife is keeping them so they can be on his show 24/7.

[Peach]

I didn't hear her unfortunately. Bless her heart that she hold no bitterness regarding the death of her son.

There is a 14 year old boy who visits his grandparents in our neighborhood. He has said to me over and over, "don't people understand that President Bush is keeping the war over there so they don't come over here?"

A 14 year old gets it but the Rats don't.
