Just received my email reply from our Senator, Barack Obama. What a whitewash!


Dear [...]:

Thank you for your letter regarding the "Able Danger" operation and the alleged pre-9/11 identification of al-Qaeda operative Mohammed Atta. I appreciate hearing from you and understand your concern over this issue.

As you know, a member of the House of Representatives claimed several weeks ago that the Pentagon had identified the ringleader of the 9/11 attacks, Mohammed Atta, as an al-Qaeda operative several years prior to the 2001 attacks during an intelligence operation entitled "Able Danger." The allegation was made in connection to reports that several intelligence sources claimed during interviews with the 9/11 Commission that the Pentagon knew of Mr. Atta as early as 1999. The 9/11 Commission, however, has released a statement asserting that the allegations are false, and that no evidence has been provided to corroborate the claims that Mr. Atta was a known quantity before the attacks occurred.

Again, thank you for writing. Please stay in touch in the days ahead.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama
United States Senator

It is not possible for me to express in civil terms the disdane that I hold for these "elected representitives" of the people.I'm sure that by the time this gets through the machinery it will be little more than a small pot hole in this countrys' interstate to hell. These swine are as contemptable as any of those demented individuals who actually flew the planes on September the 11th. One day there will be an accounting. One day.

The 9/11 Commission, however, has released a statement asserting that the allegations are false

HAHAHAHAHA! Complete CYA mode! Every time I see Obama's name I think of Peggy Noonan's article "Conceit of Government: Why are our politicians so full of themselves?":

This week comes the previously careful Sen. Barack Obama, flapping his wings in Time magazine and explaining that he's a lot like Abraham Lincoln, only sort of better. "In Lincoln's rise from poverty, his ultimate mastery of language and law, his capacity to overcome personal loss and remain determined in the face of repeated defeat--in all this he reminded me not just of my own struggles."

Oh. So that's what Lincoln's for. Actually Lincoln's life is a lot like Mr. Obama's. Lincoln came from a lean-to in the backwoods. His mother died when he was 9. The Lincolns had no money, no standing. Lincoln educated himself, reading law on his own, working as a field hand, a store clerk and a raft hand on the Mississippi. He also split some rails. He entered politics, knew more defeat than victory, and went on to lead the nation through its greatest trauma, the Civil War, and past its greatest sin, slavery.

Barack Obama, the son of two University of Hawaii students, went to Columbia and Harvard Law after attending a private academy that taught the children of the Hawaiian royal family. He made his name in politics as an aggressive Chicago vote hustler in Bill Clinton's first campaign for the presidency.

You see the similarities.

Now, they claim that the commission didn't receive enough information on the Able Danger unit from the Pentagon.

Hmmm... But why not even 'fake' concern about it to cover their rear ends ? They must have realized that lack of information about Able Danger meant that the whole picture would 'never be known' by the commission. So would it not have been prudent to at least 'feint concern' ? Just in case ? This at least demonstrates a lack of concern for anything that later 'more detailed' scrutiny could discover.

I share your contempt. Unfortunately, I don't believe there will ever be an accounting.

[smoothsailing]

It is strange,as if they are collectively attempting to will it away.

You gotta figure a whole lot of folks are terrified by this.I sense a Bush-Rove rope-a-dope gradually unfolding.

Sure Osama ... opps, Obama ... we believe you, right, as pigs fly.
Your just covering up for your hineness, the Queen Hillary ( and her HINO Billy Bob ) and you don't want NOTHING to spoil your chance of a possibly high position in Hillary's 4'th Reich Regime.
