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.
This is politically very infirm ground. He could be seen as trying to blaim the previous administration for 9/11
He's already mentioned that we got hit hard because America didn't do anything about previous attacks. Didn't name the previous administration, but everyone knew what he meant.
Um...how do you know it DOESN'T concern him?
He is a little bit busy...and he doesn't give a speech about everything he is "worrying about"...besides, since this happened BEFORE he was elected...I am sure he, like us, is waiting to have reports of who/what/when/where.
If anybody's running a cover-up it's the Clinton left-overs in the govt. Bush and Rummy are not cover-up kind of people - they don't think that way. It's the criminals like the Clintons who cover up everything - because they have something to hide.
Don't count on it. That's one thing about the president I've lost faith in....putting the screws to the democrats.
Bush should've and could've buried them for good, and was too busy trying to make friends.
I hope I'm wrong. Please!!!!!!
Not analogous at all. The GOP didn't demonize Kerry? They failed to bring up Kerry's antiwar record, his accusations that his fellow Vietnam vets were criminals who committed war crimes and his participation in the VVAW, which plotted the assassination of US officials. The GOP should thank the SBVFT for telling the truth and winning the election for Bush.
Motorla has a box that will fix that problem....really!
You are confusing me tonight...I have read some of your posts that sound just like the rest of the freepers...happy about the speech...
BUT, you seem to have this NEED to find SOME way to make sure that Bush gets that 1% of blame you say he deserves...
WHY? Why is is SO important to you that your scenario fits what is going on...??
Isn't it conceivable that he DIDN'T know what this was about until WE all did...and is waiting to get all of the information, instead of pointing fingers and placing blame without proof?
"The GOP should thank the SBVFT for telling the truth and winning the election for Bush."
Agreed. Did you know a Freeper tutored the Swift Boat guys on "Being a Politico 101" when they were just starting out?
I think I can handle that. Thanks for the instructions.
Ping
Well, it would be nice if the swifties would stand up for Schaeffer. The govt imo includes Clinton holdover. The govt is the dems, GOP and/or RINOS. Take your pick.
why doesnt matt drudge have anything about this up on his drudge report? Im sorry but that guy just seems to be obsessed with weather all the time lately. Dont get my wrong the hurricanes are important but thats all he ever has up as the headline! and as far as i can tell he has nothing about abledanger!
Bump for later read...
President Bush strikes me as a good poker player.
If so, then all you can do is wait and see what his hand holds.
Sometimes if you wait long enough the truth comes out, no matter who hides it.
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? .......
Draw me a picture.
Jeez,you sound like my husband. Needle, needle, needle. No, I don't think he'd run over to the Pentagon himself. He'd address a direct question to Rumsfeld. And Rumsfeld should find the answer.
Yes, you're right about the import of such information BUT it wouldn't change the necessity for the any of the actions taken. Maybe 9-11 could have been avoided. Maybe just postponed.
Politics has invaded every aspect of life in this country. Instead of waiting to slaughter anyone who's made a mistake or is trying to TELL of a mistake, they should be thanked and enlisted into solving the problem. We fight over GARBAGE and the enemy is inside the gate.
I'm sorry. I guess its not much of a picture. Maybe if you hang it upside down..........?
Could I please be on your ping list for the transcript of the Weldon speech.
Thanks in advance.
DUmocrats will bury themselves without the President lifting one finger. They are kinda DUmb like that.
Countries need rocking from time to time to shake the cobwebs out.
"How do we fight our own government, and why should we have to."
Because that's what a "Republic" is - it's government of the people, by the people, for the people.
If not us, who - if not now, when ..??
I'm tired of all those other weenies in Congress who are only intereted in one thing - their own damn power. Well, we'll see who really has the power.
I shouldn't even be talking politics at this late hour. I supported the swifties and had lots of other anti-Kerry links on my web site.
