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.

"I don't know. I'm just saying its possible."

OK. I could be wrong, but here's how I see it. Bush knows about the Able Danger controversy. He has the power to find out what is happening in the Defense Department, if he wants to.

I can't believe he's saying, "Well, there's the Supreme Court thing, and all these budget issues. I don't have time right now."

Think about it. Its 9/11. It's the foundation for the Afghan war, the Iraq war, the war on terror, Bush's presidency, in essence. Our nation at this point in time. The world.

So what is it. He's not interested in what happened?

He wants to know, but some bureaucrat says, "Sorry, Mr. President, your security clearance isn't high enough. You were convicted of drunk driving."

Draw me a picture.

I just looked over that list and the Powell name and title seemed to fit more than the others to ME...but that isn't saying much.

Weldon didn't mention the NAME, did he? I seem to remember he just mentioned "the NEW head of the DIA", right?

I don't think Bush is asking the question. He is relying on his Sec of Defense to run his own shop.

I do not know what part the President will play in this.

Hopefully he can make things happen, if he want to do so.

"Give that psycho Savage a big slap on the back. He's one of the few who'll touch this."

Yes.

Good evening.
"I'm glad to see this thread is so active. Reminds me of the early years of FR."

It was the evils of the clinton posse that gave the FreeRepublic a reason for being. Now Able Danger is showing us just how evil they really were.

I just e-mailed Weldon...I will send a check tomorrow...

I mentioned that we Freepers pay a lot of attention to the doings in the Congress...and we like to show appreciation when it is due.

Washington State Freepers...I wonder what our esteemed 9/11 panel member Slade Gorton has to say about Weldon's revelation about the USS COLE?

Maybe we should ask him.

This pinging stuff is super easy.

When you are posting a reply to someone else's post, notice on your screen the "Your Reply:" box, that you are typing into, and above it a smaller "To:" box with the name of the FReeper to whom you are responding.

To ping other FReepers to your reply, just add their FReeper names in the "To:" box, separated by semi-colons. Then those other freepers will see your post when they look at their Pings (also known as "My Comments" list.

It is the popular way on FR to bring some other FReepers attention to an interesting thread or post.

Yeah that's the part I don't get. It's almost as if too many morons on both sides have their hands in this pot. There's enough info from this case alone to make a case for sending Clinton to jail, not to mention all his other over-looked scandals. Then we allow for the indictments of Delay and possibly others??
There's enough here to bury the entire Dem party. I think there's something here we're not supposed to know, something isn't adding up.
Well, I think we can atleast opine that the Sandy Burglar documents were related to this.
