Lehman blasted it as a "dysfunctional system . . . It's not rocket science. It's just overruling the pride of certain agencies."
This is as apt desciption of Congress as I have ever read. Who has been responsible for hamstringing our agencies? None other than Congress more often than not. Did members of Congress roll up their sleeves and dig in to help? No, they cut and ran when they thought there might be anthrax in an office. It invokes images of George Costanza pushing women, children and clowns aside to escape a small fire.
Since they are investigating the past, why don't hey go do an investigation and see why there were commincation failures at Pearl Harbor? No one ever expected an attack of this mangnitude. Learn from mistakes, correct problems detected and go after the true bad guys instead of trying to feed on people who gave all trying to help.
Oh, the crack about the Boy Scouts... If they read Boy's Life they would learn how scouts did help out spontaneously on Sept. 11th and some did die while helping. This commission wouldn't know a hero if their lives depended on it.
This commission does not WANT heros... they want to tear down anything that could make this administration look good. What those brave men and women went through on 9/11 will be with them forever. They don't want proud Americans, they want us to be shameful therefore controlable.
Not one person on that commission has EVER gone through anything remotely similar and; like Pilot, they washed their collective hands and are now ready to crucify those who were actually down in the trenches.
This commission is a blotch on every American. What has happened to this country? What a load of crap. I am so angry! I'm just hoping that Americans will find this beyond despicable and the whole deal will backfire on this commission.
