Rep Weldon to give major House Floor speech on Able Danger momentarily; ON CSPAN NOW
CSPAN ^ | October 19, 2005

Posted on 10/19/2005 4:59:18 PM PDT by TomGuy

Rep. Kirt Weldon is on Michael Savage's radio program, and he is implying Rumsfeld is the one blocking further investigation into Able Danger.

Weldon is fuming; says he personally (in a committee hearing) asked Rumsfeld about the investigation being blocked. Rumsfeld replied that he would 'get back to Weldon with a response.' Weldon says he still has gotten nothing from Rumsfeld.

Weldon to give a speech in a few moments this evening on the floor of the House. It should be aired on CSPAN this evening.

Sean Hannity said on his show last week that he was warning his listeners NOT to waste their money on Louis Freeh's book...but then said he wouldn't go into WHY at that time..

That is the last I have heard him mention Freeh.

Are you going to have audio file of the Savage/Weldon interview?

How many of you who are concerned about this have written your Congressmen and Senators? I posted a thread a month ago urging those who believe this is important to write. Since then I have written letters to every member of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, every member of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, Frist and Hastert.

Those who have not done this should do it with the goal of having hearings start in a few months. I know the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding hearings but believe it will be under the pressure of the Miers confirmation hearings and may not have the expertise to deal with Military and Intelligence issues.

I was just throwing that out there for pondering.

It would make sense though.

It's a big government. Bush only has the power to apppint about 6,000 and most of these are no known to him. There is a permanent government in Washington, Even a President for Life could not outlast it.

No .. that is about a report about the Clinton's sicking the dogs on their enemies .. IRA Audits and stuff like that Kerry, Kennedy and Durbin tried to pass a bill to squash that report from ever seeing the light of day But thanks to folks like Tony Snow .. they failed It's my understanding that report is due out any day now

Many thanks to Tony Snow...

He didn't want Freeh to cut into his face time at his next Costco appearance.

I am sure in Cynthia McKinney's pea brain, she sees this as a way to get AT the U S Government....
Even if there isn't a tie to Bush...it is a tie to the Defense Dept while Bush is POTUS...so, she is probably doing the right thing for the WRONG reason...LOL

You said it. Anyone who could get up at the DC "demonstrations" and spout the insane stuff she does, cannot care about the country or its survival. She's gunning for Bush, as usual.
McKinney on House floor: "Bush STOLE the election in 2000. It was a COO-DAY-TAH!" Genius on parade.

"I think the MSM will turn this around and make it about Bush."

I'm tired of the MSM lying and getting away with it. If they're going to use their jobs for propaganda purposes, they should be retired, permanently.

But President Bush has been very nice to Clinton.

It's not the President style to trash people

He has propped him up by appointing him to work with his dad raising money for disasters.

Clinton was needed to help raise money for those in need and that lost everything .. for that I don't blame the President .. he was thinking of others besides himself

Whether we like it or not .. Clinton does still appeal to a portion of Americans

"This country is doomed if crap like this is allowed to occur."


Well .. brace yourself, it's been going on for a long time. We just don't have people in the govt with enough backbone to bring it out into the open.

The other day Sean said on his radio show. Don't buy Freeh's book" Sorry, I don't understand why Sean would say something like that.

He was kidding - Freeh went on 60 Minutes and Meet the Press first. I'm sure he'll get to Hannity.

A simple phone call would have sufficed. Weldon apparently got no response, otherwise he wouldn't be all over CSPAN and Savage screaming for blood.

That theory makes no sense in light of tonight's events.

Which is why I'm surprised there hasn't been a live thread on the Saddam Trial.

Because if OKC did have Iraqis involved, then it was financed by Saddam.

And if Rummy and company wanted this info to come out in the trial first....

It would involve Able Danger info.

Better to mail letter or postcard, even better if hand written.
Email & fax too easy to ignore.
One wag said they would always open an envelope if only because it might contain a check !

Good grief! Why are they exposing that info. If they know some stuff exists then they should just get it and stash it away someplace safe.
