The EXPLANATION: Sandy Berger is covering up Bill Clinton’s GREATEST CRIME (2004)
Free Republic | 7-2-0-04 | Bill Charleston

Posted on 07/20/2004 7:44:02 PM PDT by BILL_C

What do some of the craziest events in recent American History all have in common? No, this is not another Blue Dress story, but it is about the biggest crime Bill Clinton committed as president. It was such a small political lie for him but it turned out to have incredible ramifications to our country. Slick Willy may be headed for the title of worst president in United States history, in fact, he might even qualify for the biggest traitor label.

And further more, you don’t even suspect it happened.

Just what was Sandy Berger doing stuffing documents into his clothes while preparing for the 9-11 hearings? Lanny Davis was on natioal news earlier today saying that the leak right before the Democratic Convention just had to be politically motivated.

Did you ever wonder how literally hundreds of witnesses could see a mass murder but the official report not only ignores these citizens but offers solutions that are physically impossible? Conclusions such as this are possible whenever the conspiracy label is attached. And what was all the fuss about Jamie Gorelick being on the 9-11commission? Why did we get bored seeing Richard Clark attacking President Bush in the 9-11 hearings? If you’re one of Bill Clinton’s boys or girls that was in his inner circle, the noose is tightening.

They know what happened but you don’t know, not yet.

In 1994, Bill Clinton was shocked at the Republican massacre in the congressional election. His chances of reelection seemed dim. Drastic action was called for if he was going to see a second term.

The first challenge to Bill Clinton was the Federal Building bombing at Oklahoma City in 1995. As documented in Jayana Davis’ book “The Third Terrorist”, McVeigh and Nichol’s were not the only ones involved in the bombing. It seems that there were Iraqi defectors from Gulf War 1 in OKC. One of the Iraqi soldiers got out of the truck with McVeigh a few minutes before the truck bomb exploded. You may recall the story during the Nichols trial in OKC earlier this spring concerning the surveillance tape that agreed with witnesses showing two men getting out of the truck. Later, the FBI said there was no surveillance tape. This same Iraqi later moved to Boston and was working at Boston Logan Int’l airport the morning of 9-11-01. Is it a small world or was something going on here? The FBI has never investigated.

In Jayna’s book, she ties the Iraqis together with McVeigh and Nichols. Read the book and listen to her interview with Jim Quinn from Pittsburgh in the WARROOM which was aired April 20, 2004. It is in the archives. It will open your eyes.

Why did the investigation focus on two Americans when numerous witnesses testified that others were involved? And of course the initial reports detailed that two middle Eastern men were wanted? What happened?

Bill Clinton knew that if it was shown that foreign terrorists were killing Americans in Oklahoma City his chance of being reelected would vanish. Jamie Gorelick was tasked with removing middle eastern terrorists from the equation and concluding that two right wing extremists motivated by Waco were the cause, the only cause. There was no Middle Eastern conspiracy by presidential order.

Flash ahead to July, 1996 and an airplane leaving from JFK in New York City crashes off Long Island. Hundreds of witnesses see a missile shoot the plane from the sky but the investigation concludes that it was a center fuel tank explosion. Jack Cashill in his book on flight TWA 800 faces the same problem that Jayna Davis did with the Oklahoma City bombing a year earlier. WHY? Witnesses saw one thing but the investigation reported something else.

The crash of TWA 800 occurred before the Democratic convention. As in Oklahoma City, Jamie Gorelick was tasked with removing terrorism from the equation. Richard Clark supplied the center fuel tank scenario, the CIA supplied the computer simulation and Bill Clinton was home free.

Flash ahead to 9-11-01: Bill Clinton has said several times that he first thought of Bin Laden when he heard about the WTC attacks. Actually it had to be Al Qaeda, not Iraq, or his “brilliant” plan might be discovered. But Clinton was not out of the woods yet.

The 9-11 commission is tasked with finding the truth. Jamie Gorelick is on the commission to ensure they don’t. Sandy Berger while preparing to testify is caught removing classified documents by hiding them under his clothes. Anyone who has ever held a TOP SECRET clearance can relate to the sinking feeling he must have in his stomach today as the news is released.

The lies that turned to conspiracy theories led to thousands dying in NYC and Washington, DC on 9-11. Instead of Bill Clinton taking care of business in Iraq in 1995 when Iraqi defectors were caught killing Americans he covered up their involvement to get reelected. His co-conspirators are still trying to cover up the biggest lie in American history.

One of the questions now facing Sandy Berger is will he get a deal? I’m sure he watches Law and Order occasionally so he’s probably familiar with the process. Sell out Bill Clinton and the democratic party and you may get out of jail one day. Otherwise, it just doesn’t look very good.

Bill Clinton, the noose is tightening around your neck. Your legacy is the least of your problems. Everyone understands you’re a natural born liar but most didn’t even suspect the havoc you caused with you lies in 1995.

Now everyone will know it wasn’t an intelligence failure. It was Slick Willy all along.

PAPER TIGER:

The terrorists all assumed whether it was Bin Laden or Iraq that the U.S. would not really respond in a significant way.

IRAQ CLAIM CREDIT?

Iraq would not claim credit. That would invite an armed response but small things like airliners were OK. Sadaham would do this for the persoal satisfaction of killing Americans.

MURRAH BUILDING BOMBING/OKC:

Not to focus on the details of the bombing, I have believed a post made on FREEREPUBLIC years ago which was from a lawyer across the street who said "how come the windows in my office were blown out but no other significant damage occurred?" This seemed to be a reasonable argument that there were indeed explosives planted in the Murrah Building. Also taking into account previous information that said the bomb was too small to do that amount of damage (the crater was too small) plus seismic traces showed multiple explosions plus analysis of two recordings showed multiple explosions. I'm not going to solve that here but of course that's in the back of my mind.

EGYPTIAN PILOT CRASHES AIRPLANE:

The plane as I recall crashed into the Atlantic off Boston, not NY Harbor. It probably was taken into account in the progression to 9-11. There has been much written about the thought that only a few of the terrorists on the 8-11 planes knew that it was a suicide mission.

TWA 800: BOMB OR MISSLE?

I believe that to get to TRUTH, you have to first listen very closely to what the witnesses say. Jack Cashill has convinced me that the "experienced" witnesses saw a missle.

THE IMPORTANT QUESTION:

GIVEN THAT THERE WERE IRAQIs INVOLVED IN THE BOMBING, WHY DID THE US GOVERNMENT LIE?

A possible answer is that it fit with Bill CLinton's election. Buildup for a war wasn't going to happen on his watch, especially right before an election.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF CLINTON'S LYING. By HIM IGNORING IRAQI TERRORISM, HE INDIRECTLY KILLED THOUSANDS.

I contend that many of the headlines this year are consistent with that premise. It all seems to makes sense.

Now to prove this you don't have to get Gorelick to tearfully plead for mercy. You would only need to show the police officers were pressured to ignore real leads. As with every conspiracy, there are people out there who know pieces of the truth.

Based on history, there will be no pursuit of truth by our government.

------

McVeigh was a freedom fighter. Read some of the things he wrote in the link below. The Iraqi assistance was not an important issue to him (IMHO) and why would he want to implicate people who helped him?

"But if there is a hell, then I'll be in good company with a lot of fighter pilots who also had to bomb innocents to win the war."

He could have been protecting his family. Once dead, there would be no chance of his ever giving up what he knew and endanger them. The government's rush to execute him was similar to the bulldozing of the buildings at Waco, getting rid of evidence, IMHO.

Some interesting stuff: John Loftus on Bachelor last nite noted the documents Bergler was taking were in ref. to foreign policy under Clintoon and specifically the Balkins. Seems Clintoon had a clandestine policy to USE Al-Quada to balance the strength between the Serbs and the Albanians. IOW; Clintoon worked WITH Al-Quada in 1997-1999 timeframe. Hardly something the Pervert-in-Chief would want raising to the surface in a 9-11 commission report. Nor Sandy Bergler; as architect of foreign policy.

And this from a Dem named John Loftus. (Don't shoot me; I'm the messenger)

cJamie Gorelick was tasked When you make an assertion such as this, and you make it twice, you need to provide some supporting evidence other than tin foil, that such events occurred

I heard one of the Republican appointed 9-11 commissioners, either the older Navy man or Keane on a TV interview show saying that Gorelick was in charge of deciding which documents the commission would use for their investigation. He was saying this in praise of her abilities, defending her inclusion on the commission. No one brought up the possibilitiy that she screened out documents that would be injurious to the Clinton Administration. I was astonished and horrified.

If this expands into Clinton dealing with Al Quada before 9-11, it will be beyond belief.

Of the documents taken, we've had a reference to OKC (1995) and to the Balkans in 1997-99 time frame.

We'll see what shakes out and how much Sandy will give to deal, IF they put pressure on him.

Thanks

Another incredible observation.

Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.... IF a real investigation actually takes place, and IF there are really any 9-11 members on a real panel with a shred of integrity, this is going to go past what any fiction writer could come up.

It would be too unbelievable.

Would people like Rumsfeld and Cheney just let this go? An Iraqi tie to OKC? Let it go? And not get the documents themselves? But just let them sit in there until Berger shows up and stuffs them in his socks? Oh darn we should have made copies! This hysteria does not add up.

October 1999 EgyptAir 990 out of Kennedy airport was plunged into the ocean by an Islamic TERRORIST who had taken over the cockpit, but the Clinton administration insisted terrorism was not the cause of the plane's disappearance even before the plane's fate was discovered.

Berger will never face charges. Laws are for Republicans, not Liberals.
Nor do Republicans have the GUTS to prosecute a former member of the Clintion regime. Remember, Hillary still has her copies of the FBI files...

Your assumption is that they know.

My basic assumption is when someone says "CONSPIRACY" virtually everyone turns off their brain and moves on. The government has said, the news media agrees and the thinking is over except for some nuts on the internet.

But, in this case,

1. Jayna Davis has proved beyond any doubt that Iraqis were involved with the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995.

2, OUR government investigation openly lied.

3. I contend that to pull off a lie like this, only the President has that kind of power.

I'm now understanding more and more why Gore did all he did to steal the election in 2000. Clinton needed much more coverup to WhiteWater-Wash his legacy, too much American blood on his hands. Gore did not know Bush would be so tuff in the aftermath. D@mn, we're gettin' deeper into Dim Doo Doo. Its amazing how low these people will go.
peace...D

EARLY 1996
Sudan, which has harbored bin Laden since his 1991 expulsion from Saudi Arabia, offers to turn al Qaeda's founder over to the Saudis for trial. Saudi Arabia doesn't want him, and President Clinton does not push the issue of expulsion. In May, Sudan throws bin Laden out; he and his family go to Afghanistan.

MAY 26, 1998
Osama bin Laden holds a news conference in Afghanistan declaring war on the United States. Information obtained by senior U.S. policy makers and the intelligence community indicates that bin Laden intends to strike. The U.S. Joint Inquiry Staff, however, reported in September 2002 that intelligence-gathering agencies did not know where, when or how a terrorist attack might have occurred and the information was not corroborated.


JUNE 1998
Several sources reveal to the U.S. intelligence community that bin Laden is considering attacks in the United States -- targeting cities such as Washington and New York. Senior U.S. officials receive this information a month later.

The U.S. intelligence community consists of the 14 government agencies that conduct the U.S. government's intelligence activities, including the CIA, Treasury Department, Energy Department, State Department, Defense Intelligence Agency, FBI, National Imagery and Mapping Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency, and the intelligence agencies the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy.

AUGUST 1998
The FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration receive information that unidentified Arabs plan to fly an "explosive-laden plane" from an unnamed country into the World Trade Center. The FAA finds the plot "highly unlikely given the state of that foreign country's aviation program." Skeptical FAA officials also believe a flight originating outside the United States would be detected before it reached its target. The FBI's New York office files away the information.

FALL 1998
Intelligence officials are notified of a bin Laden plot involving aircraft and the New York and Washington areas.

SEPTEMBER 1998
The intelligence community details the infrastructure of al Qaeda in the United States. Also, intelligence information indicates bin Laden's next plan could be to fly an aircraft loaded with explosives into a U.S. airport and then detonate the plane.

OCTOBER 1998
U.S. intelligence officials learn that al Qaeda is trying to establish an operative cell within the United States

NOVEMBER 1998
The intelligence community is notified that an al Qaeda terrorist cell is trying to recruit a group of five to seven young men from the United States to travel to the Middle East for training.

Intelligence officials also learn that bin Laden and senior associates have agreed to offer a $9 million reward for the assassinations of four top CIA officers.

1999
The FBI creates a unit that focuses on bin Laden.

On September 10, 2001, about 17-19 people are working in that division.

SPRING 1999
The intelligence community is notified that bin Laden is planning an attack on a U.S. government facility in Washington.

AUGUST 1999
Officials are informed that bin Laden's organization planned to target the U.S. secretary of state, secretary of defense and the director of central intelligence. CIA analysts interpret "target" to mean "assassinate."

SEPTEMBER 1999
A report titled "Sociology and Psychology of Terrorism" commissioned by the National Intelligence Council raises the specter of a September 11-style attack by al Qaeda., including crash landing an airplace packed with explosives into the Pentagon, CIA headquarters or White House. "Whatever form an attack may take, bin Laden will most likely retaliate in a spectacular way for the cruise missile attack against his Afghan camp in August 1998."

A source tells the U.S. intelligence that bin Laden's group and others are planning attacks in the United States, possibly against landmarks in California and New York. The reliablity of the source was unknown.

LATE 1999
Intelligence information raises the possibility of attacks on targets in Washington and New York during the New Year's millennium celebrations.


DECEMBER 14, 1999
Ahmed Ressam is arrested in Port Angeles, Washington, as he tries to enter the United States from Canada. A U.S. Customs Service officer searched his rented car and found 130 pounds of explosive chemicals and four homemade timing devices. Ressam was convicted of conspiracy to detonate a suitcase bomb at Los Angeles International Airport on New Year's Eve of 1999, the last day before the new millennium. He has not been senteneced.

JANUARY 2000
Khalid Almidhar, left, and Nawaf Alhamzi -- two of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which hit the Pentagon -- are seen on a surveillance tape at a meeting in January 2000 at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Also at the meeting is Tawfiq al-Atash, who U.S. officials suspect played a hand in the Cole's bombing. The CIA says it warned the FBI about Almidhar but the CIA also did not place him on a watch list until August 2001.

FEBRUARY 2000
Reports indicate that bin Laden may be planning to assassinate U.S. intelligence officials, including then-FBI director Louis Freeh.

MARCH 2000
An unnamed nation tells the CIA that Alhazmi had flown from the January meeting in Malaysia to Los Angeles.

The U.S. intelligence also obtains information on the places that bin Laden's network might attack, including the Statue of Liberty, skyscrapers, ports, airports and nuclear power plants.

DECEMBER 2000
U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice says it was this month when the U.S. intelligence community started reporting increases in traffic concerning terrorist activities

JANUARY 30, 2001
September 11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah is questioned at the Dubai airport at the CIA's request, United Arab Emirates government sources and other Middle Eastern and European intelligence sources told CNN. Sources said he was released because U.S. officials were satisfied but a CIA spokesman denied the agency had anything to do with the questioning, saying it was "flatly untrue." The CIA said it learned of the questioning from CIA officers in the UAE after September 11. The FBI believes Jarrah, who held a Lebanese passport, was the hijacker-pilot of United Airlines Flight 93.

FEBRUARY 2001
Testifying before Congress, CIA Director George Tenet says "Osama bin Laden and his global network of lieutenants and associates remain the most immediate and serious threat" to U.S. security.

"As we have increased security around government and military facilities, terrorists are seeking out 'softer' targets that provide opportunities for mass casualties," Tenet said

MARCH 2001
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) informs specific U.S. airlines of threats from suspected terrorists in Middle Eastern nations served by those carriers.

APRIL 2001
A source with terrorist connections speculates that bin Laden might be interested in using commercial pilots as terrorists. The source warns that embassy bombings should not be the focus of intelligence measures because the operatives want "spectacular and traumatic" attacks, like the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

The source did not mention when an attack may occur. The information is not disseminated within the intelligence community because the source was speculating and did not offer hard information

APRIL 18, 2001
The FAA sends another warning to U.S. airlines that Middle Eastern terrorists could try to hijack or blow up a U.S. plane and that carriers should "demonstrate a high degree of alertness." The warning stemmed from the April 6, 2001, conviction of Ahmed Ressam over a failed plot to blow up Los Angeles International Airport during the millennium celebrations

APRIL-MAY 2001
Rice said U.S. intelligence sources reported specific threats regarding al Qaeda attacks against U.S. targets or interests that might be in the works.

MAY 29, 2001
Four men are convicted in the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Witnesses testified at the trial that Osama bin Laden was sending al Qaeda agents to the United States for flight-school training and acquiring planes.

JUNE 22, 2001
The FAA issues another warning to U.S. airlines. It mentioned "unconfirmed reports that American interests may be the target of terrorist threats from extremist groups." The warning also said that hijackings might be used to get the release of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who was convicted in a plot to blow up New York landmarks in 1993

JUNE 26, 2001
The State Department issues a worldwide caution warning American citizens of possible attacks.

Rice said at this time, there was a "threat spike," focusing on possible attacks on U.S. citizens or targets overseas.

JULY 1, 2001
Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Richard Shelby, both members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, appear on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer", and warn of potential attacks by Osama bin Laden. "One of the things that has begun to concern me very much as to whether we really have our house in order, intelligence staff have told me that there is a major probability of a terrorist incident within the next three months," Feinstein said.

JULY 2, 2001
The FBI issues a warning of possible al Qaeda attacks to law enforcement agencies. The messages stated that "there are threats to be worried about overseas. While we cannot foresee attacks domestically, we cannot rule them out." The FAA, meanwhile, issues another message regarding convicted millennium bomb plotter Ahmed Ressam. Rice said Ressam told authorities "there was an intention of using explosives in an airport terminal."

JULY 5, 2001
In a morning meeting, President Bush asks Rice to find out what agencies are doing with intelligence regarding al Qaeda threats. Rice said at this point, "the threat reporting had become sufficiently robust, though, not, again, very specific, but sufficiently robust. There was a lot of chatter in the system."

JULY 6, 2001
Counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke leads a meeting of the Counterterrorism Security Group, part of the National Security Council, to discuss intelligence regarding terrorism threats and potential attacks on U.S. installations overseas. The meeting leads to a suspension of nonessential travel by counterterror staff

JULY 10, 2001
FBI Agent Ken Williams sends a memo to the counterterrorism division at the FBI's Washington headquarters. It outlines a theory that Middle Eastern students at an Arizona flight school could be al Qaeda agents training for hijackings. FBI analysts review the memo but do nothing. The White House, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General John Ashcroft are informed about the memo only after the September 11 attacks.

MID-JULY 2001
U.S. intelligence reports another spike in threats related to the July 20-22 G-8 summit in Genoa, Italy. The reports include specific threats against Bush, who is to attend the summit. The head of Russia's Federal Bodyguard Service is quoted as saying that Osama bin Laden had threatened to assassinate President Bush at the summit. "In fact, the CIA went on ... a full-court press to try and deal with these potential attacks and, indeed, managed, through these intelligence activities and liaison activities,to disrupt attacks in Paris, Turkey, and Rome."

JULY 18, 2001
The FBI issues another warning to domestic law enforcement agencies about threats stemming from the convictions in the millennium bomb plot trial. The FAA also issues a warning, telling the airlines to "use the highest level of caution."

JULY 28, 2001
Authorities in the United Arab Emirates arrest Djamel Beghal, a French-Algerian man, for trying to travel to Europe on a fake French passport. Intelligence sources close to investigators in the UAE say that, under days of interrogation, Beghal told of planned attacks in France, including the U.S. Embassy in Paris, as well as details of terrorist cells operating in Paris and Rotterdam, Netherlands. Beghal has since been extradited to France and investigators there say he has retracted his confession.

JULY 31, 2001
The FAA issues another warning to U.S. airlines, citing no specific targets but saying "terror groups are known to be planning and training for hijackings, and we ask you therefore to use caution."

AUGUST 1, 2001
The FBI issues another warning that mentions the upcoming third anniversary of the bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa. It reiterates the message that had been in the July 2 warning

AUGUST 6, 2001
At his request, President Bush receives a report on al Qaeda during his daily intelligence briefing, known as the Presidential Daily Brief. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said this report was an "analytic brief" and not a warning that only mentioned hijackings in the traditional sense. "Hijacking before 9/11 and hijacking after 9/11 mean two very different things," she said on May 16, 2002.

AUGUST 15, 2001
A Minneapolis flight school reports Zacarias Moussaoui to the FBI because he was interested in learning how to fly jumbo jets but did not have a pilot's license. The following day, Moussaoui was taken into custody and formally arrested the next day on immigration charges. Agents wanted to get a special warrant to search his laptop computer but were denied permission. Later in August, French authorities tell U.S. officials that the French-born Moussaoui is a suspected Islamic extremist.

AUGUST 16, 2001
The FAA issues a warning to airlines concerning disguised weapons. According to Rice, they were concerned about some reports that the terrorists had made breakthroughs in cell phones, key chains and pens as weapons.

AUGUST 17, 2001
Zacarias Moussaoui is arrested by the FBI in Minnesota and is charged with an immigration violation. Agents fear his flight training may have violent intentions. The agency's Minnesota bureau tries to get permission to search his laptop computer, but is turned down.

AUGUST 23, 2001
In late August, the CIA asks the Immigration and Naturalization Service to put Khalid Almidhar on a watch list due to his ties to the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.

On August 23, the INS informs the CIA that Almidhar was admitted into the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor on July 4. Almidhar was one of the four hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon.

EARLY SEPTEMBER 2001
An FBI agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, writes a memo suggesting Zacarias Moussaoui is training to learn to fly planes into buildings. The agent "mentioned the possibility of Moussaoui being that type of person that could fly something into the World Trade Center," FBI Director Robert Mueller later tells Congress. The FBI notifies the CIA about Moussaoui, but neither agency tells the White House Counterterrorism Security Group. The Federal Aviation Administration, also told about Moussaoui, decides not to warn airlines about a possible threat, an FAA official says.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2001
A CIA plan to strike at al Qaeda in Afghanistan, including support for the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance, is given to the White House. Sen. Dianne Feinstein asks for a meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney. The California Democrat is told that Cheney's staff would need six months to prepare for a meeting.

The National Security Agency intercepts two communications from Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia. "Tomorrow is zero hour," says one. "The match begins tomorrow," says the other. The messages are not translated until September 12.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Nineteen men of Middle Eastern descent linked to al Qaeda hijack four commercial airliners and crash them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a rural Pennsylvania field. More than 3,000 civilians die in the terrorist attacks.

One need only consider an alternate scenario to see
where we should go with this.

Imagine Condoleeza Rice walking off with these documents.
The demorats would be getting out the fishing poles!
Cries of "Independent Prosecutor!" would fill the airwaves.

I am personally of the opinion that Sandy B. certainly was
there to retrieve SOMETHING, and not necessarily the documents named. What would be the point of that? There was
something there that they HAD to have. Something that he
was willing to go to prison over to protect BC and his admin. or WIFE!

"SEPTEMBER 10, 2001
A CIA plan to strike at al Qaeda in Afghanistan, including support for the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance, is given to the White House. Sen. Dianne Feinstein asks for a meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney. The California Democrat is told that Cheney's staff would need six months to prepare for a meeting.

The National Security Agency intercepts two communications from Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia. "Tomorrow is zero hour," says one. "The match begins tomorrow," says the other. The messages are not translated until September 12.

Wowser, A.P.!

What a great timeline on events leading up to 9/11. We do realize that much of that timeline was actually classified top secret in the months and days leading up to 9/11. (Wonder if some of that is what Berger was after?)

If the right people in the right places would have just gotten past the political correctness of not going after Islamic terrorists, 9/11 likely would not have happened.

The rest is history.

So what was up with the Feinstein/Cheney meeting and why would it take six months for her to get in to see Cheney?

Check this out . .
