Ping list worthy.

This sounds like a show we can all support and lays the blame for the increase in Islamofascists squarely at the feet of the Clinton administration.

"This is the first Hollywood production I’ve seen that honestly depicts how the Clinton administration repeatedly bungled the capture of Osama Bin Laden. One astonishing sequence in "The Path to 9/11" shows the CIA and the Northern Alliance surrounding Bin Laden’s house in Afghanistan.

They're on the verge of capturing Bin Laden, but they need final approval from the Clinton administration in order to go ahead. They phone Clinton, but he and his senior staff refuse to give authorization for the capture of Bin Laden, for fear of political fall-out if the mission should go wrong and civilians are harmed. National Security Adviser Sandy Berger in essence tells the team in Afghanistan that if they want to capture Bin Laden, they'll have to go ahead and do it on their own without any official authorization. That way, their necks will be on the line - and not his.

The astonished CIA agent on the ground in Afghanistan repeatedly asks Berger if this is really what the administration wants. Berger refuses to answer, and then finally just hangs up on the agent."

That assumes bungling on the Clinton admin. I'd argue that they knew darn good and well what they were doing. And that there was no bungling involved.

Gee, I wonder if any of this was related to what Berger subsequently stuffed into his underwear?

Berger refuses to answer, and then finally just hangs up on the agent.

Pretty breathtaking, isn't it. And this is a man with whom this Administration's justice department struck a deal to return his security clearance after 3 years. I have never understood that.

What is going on here? Hollywood getting Religion is too unbelievable for me to accept. What is the real reason the truth is starting to be told?

Lord knows movies about this struggle could be made which would blow most of the trivial pap typically produced completely out of the water.

The 9/11 Omission-Commission should have been all over this kind of stuff, but of course that would not have served the Gorelicker-Ben Veniste-Demagogue agenda of whitewashing the Clintonista failures. Why so many Republicans have participated is this cover-up I'll never fully understand, the desire to be "bi-partisan" should not have trumped the need for everyone in the public, media, and government to understand how we got to 9/11. Why Sandy Burglar was not hung from the top of the Washington Monument long ago, I'll never understand......

I'm amazed that ABC is going to air this, but maybe they will edit out some of the most 'embarrassing' parts before it airs. Still, now that it has been seen in public it will be hard for them to really suppress it.

This is from ABC??

What gives???

Because this doesn't help the Clinton's .. nor the Dems .. especially right before the November election

[prairiebreeze]

The problem is that I don’t see ABC marketing it at all, and I’m concerned that they’re dropping the ball on getting the word out about this show. They’ve reportedly spent more than $40 million producing "The Path to 9/11," and yet I see little advertising or promotion anywhere

Ah yes, we'll make a halfway accurate depiction of the leadup events so we can claim we're objective journalists etc....but then not market it.

Who portrays Bill Clinton? Pee Wee Herman?
