I had to turn off Levin or I would have broken my TV and computer..
BUT, I have a SCOOP...I turned off Levin and turned on the Bill O'Reilly radio talk show.
His guest was William Cohen, Clinton's Sec. of Def....and they were discussing the war on terror, blah blah.
Bill asked him about the various times the Clinton had the opportunity to catch or kill OBL...and Cohen said this, "well, you have to understand that at the time that OBL was blowing up embassies, WE WERE TOO DISTRACTED BY SADDAM HUSSEIN..and what he was doing in Iraq, with possible WMD'S"!!!
IOW..like Bill said, SADDAM WAS a part of the war on TERROR even in 1990s ..Cohen said in 1998, they were focusing totally on Saddam and the weapons inspectors...
There is NO WAY a dem can say that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 in that way...because if the USA hadn't been so concerned about SADDAM, there would have been more attention paid to OBL...and he MIGHT have been caught.
Is this senate intel report the same report that Reid and gang shut the Senate down for???
And have any pubbies commented on the WHOLE report
or are we just hearing the Dems side??
HOLY @#$%!!!! NICE catch, TS:)
Now THAT is something that needs to GET OUT THERE...
# 385
Oh boy!
So Cohen isn't denying they had a chance, huh?
Guess he didn't get the talking point memo
Oh..great Lugar up thanking DODD and Biden about things...ugh.
WOW!
Wonder if there's a transcript available of the BOR show??

You hear the best stuff, Txsleuth. Thanks for that report. It sounds like Cohen can expect a call from The Mob within the former Clinton administration to condemn him and make him take it back.
BUMPity-BUMP!
"Cohen said in 1998, they were focusing totally on Saddam and the weapons inspectors..."
What was BOR's response to that statement?
Great catch, TS.
