LIVE THREAD: Hardball's 12 Missed Chances That Could Have Prevented 9/11
MSNBC ^ | July 21, 2004 | Chris Matthews/Lisa Myers

Posted on 07/21/2004 4:51:15 PM PDT by Howlin

On Sept. 11, 2001 — it all seemed so sudden, and without warning. But three years and two investigations later, it's clear there was a tragic trail of missed opportunities to stop some of the hijackers, disrupt the plot and perhaps save 3,000 lives.

-------------

We can be prepared to DISCUSS/REFUTE the following items that will be discussed on this show tonight at 9:00 P.M. EDT.

From this AP article...

Officials familiar with the investigation said Archive staff specially marked the documents and when the new copy and others disappeared, Archive officials called Clinton attorney Bruce Lindsey to raise concerns.

Why the 'toon's attorney and not the FBI or some other appropriate agency?

I think Clinton miscalculated by trying to go for humor (laughing about sloppy old Sandy always losing those danged classified docs! yuk yuk), and his sense of self-importance and loathing of being thought of as out of the loop overcame thinking through the implications and he just had to say he's known all along.

Bottom line: I think he's as nervous as he's ever been about this.

"...al Quaeda and Iraq were friends...but Iraq did not help with 9/11."

No one ever said they did, and it is irrelevant. The terrorists are many, and their goals are similar. They do not have to work together on specific projects to be a danger.

This is so silly. Just take any accident and call a commission to investigate. He/She could have left 10 minutes earlier. Taken a diffrent route. Watched for traffic closer coming from both sides, even though he/she had a green light. Stayed at home all day. Not make that cellphone call.

Maddening isn't it ... ? Who said "life is a comedy to those who think"?

Of fricking course it could have been prevented ... and I coulda been a major league ballplayer ...

Thsnks, that's my sense also. I think he's very sorry that he said that, now.

"Hi, welcome to a special edition of Hawd Baw...
I'm Chrissy Fatboy...and tonight I will try to misrepresent the 9/11 commission findings in my blatant biased attempt to put bogus blame of Bush for everything from Lincoln's death to 9/11 to Kerry's need for Botox"

If you mean from who do I want the cites... anybody...

If you mean from who do I want the quotes... lol... Kerry of course.

I'm not questioning the quotes... in fact I remember seeing them before. I want to use them to mess with some lefties on another forum, and I know them too well... they will call me a liar unless I provide cites.

The events of the last week are a stark reminder of the stakes in this Presidential election. John Kerry’s remarks yesterday painted a striking contrast to President Bush’s evasion of responsibility:

"As president, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command,"

From the login prompt at the Kerry Edwards website...

John Edwards is on LKL.

He knows Sandy Berger very well and he's a good man, he says. He doesn't know anything about this investigation though.

Larry asks if he's suspicious about the timing of the leak and Edwards says he trusts the American people to discern if they think that's the case. I did not detect any tinge of sarcasm or cynicism in tone.

He doesn't think Berger is the type to have deliberately done wrong.

FWIW (I'm switching him off now)

1996, bin Laden makes his intent clear with his 60 page "fatwah"

CIA fails to infiltrate the plot.

1999 - fall -- plan begins.

January 2000 -- the Malaysia Meeting.

Because of the phone call to Lindsay. He knew it was out at this point. I don't REALLY believe that Clinton supports anyone for Prez and he really could care less. He just likes the Podium, probably gets paid and he's simply a total egomaniac.
