Just heard a blurb from John Gibson's alter ego. Megan? CIA happy about indictments, claiming they were being FORCED to make a case for War against Iraq.
Well the snakes are crawling out from under the rock.

Hmmm foxnews.com is a dead link....boy the CIA is fast...
It takes time to clean out the dead slimey wood at the CIA or anywhere in the Government. With Civil Service and Unions you have to show cause, or try to get them to take a lateral transfer. What you can do, is Monitor everything they do and they will commit some kind of violations of their job specs and you keep documenting them and warning them, and after so many violations and warnings they get tossed,and then the fun begins with the Union Mouthpieces. If you have done your homework and they have been sloppy and not very good employees they will be dismissed for the violations. I was a insructor and had to carefully document every little mistake even if we never would use it against someone, it had to be precise and on file. it saved my Department lots of lawsuits, and got me cursed out a number of times, and threatened a few also.
Clinton first linked al Qaeda to Saddam
By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Clinton administration talked about firm evidence linking Saddam Hussein's regime to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network years before President Bush made the same statements.
The issue arose again this month after the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States reported there was no "collaborative relationship" between the old Iraqi regime and bin Laden.
Democrats have cited the staff report to accuse Mr. Bush of making inaccurate statements about a linkage. Commission members, including a Democrat and two Republicans, quickly came to the administration's defense by saying there had been such contacts.
In fact, during President Clinton's eight years in office, there were at least two official pronouncements of an alarming alliance between Baghdad and al Qaeda. One came from William S. Cohen, Mr. Clinton's defense secretary. He cited an al Qaeda-Baghdad link to justify the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan.
Mr. Bush cited the linkage, in part, to justify invading Iraq and ousting Saddam. He said he could not take the risk of Iraq's weapons falling into bin Laden's hands.
The other pronouncement is contained in a Justice Department indictment on Nov. 4, 1998, charging bin Laden with murder in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
The indictment disclosed a close relationship between al Qaeda and Saddam's regime, which included specialists on chemical weapons and all types of bombs, including truck bombs, a favorite weapon of terrorists.
The 1998 indictment said: "Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezbollah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States. In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the government of Iraq."
Shortly after the embassy bombings, Mr. Clinton ordered air strikes on al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and on the Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan.
To justify the Sudanese plant as a target, Clinton aides said it was involved in the production of deadly VX nerve gas. Officials further determined that bin Laden owned a stake in the operation and that its manager had traveled to Baghdad to learn bomb-making techniques from Saddam's weapons scientists.
Mr. Cohen elaborated in March in testimony before the September 11 commission.
He testified that "bin Laden had been living [at the plant], that he had, in fact, money that he had put into this military industrial corporation, that the owner of the plant had traveled to Baghdad to meet with the father of the VX program."
He said that if the plant had been allowed to produce VX that was used to kill thousands of Americans, people would have asked him, " 'You had a manager that went to Baghdad; you had Osama bin Laden, who had funded, at least the corporation, and you had traces of [VX precursor] and you did what? And you did nothing?' Is that a responsible activity on the part of the secretary of defense?"
See what I mean.
THANK YOU PEACH! I have been wanting this list...
Excellent job!
That's darn nice of them, considering they're the ones that opened the door and swept the HUMINT out in the first place.
nah that''''s probably my inability to do it right. sorry
Then my question is: WHY IN THE H DIDN'T THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. INSTEAD WE HAD TO HAVE AN ATTACK ON THE U.S. SOIL AND A NEW PRESIDENT TO GO AFTER THEM.
Great list~
That's a hell of a compilation.
Who in the CIA said this
And were they forced to claim WMD when Clinton was in office also ??
I have a sinking feeling that this whole thing is about Oil for Food money. The slimest of all reasons. How would the Union reps defend that?
NOW you KNOW "reporters" don't have to reveal sources. They can make up any kind of blurb to smear someone and hide under the rock they slithered out from under.
Everyone went right by your admonition.
The CIA is not one person.
What site did you get this list? I'm getting armed & ready for liberals I know who will throw what happened in my face. Anyone know where I can find that list of all the indictments Clintons avoided & there cronies (Sandy Berger)
No I didn't. I'm sure there might be a few who are honest protectors of the U.S. It is the MEDIA that has labeled ALL CIA as happy.

The CIA should crawl under a rock in shame. They're useful idiots.
