You're right; I was being tongue in cheek :-)

[EmilyGeiger]

It was said twice. Once a CIA agent said it, the next time the Northern Alliance leader said it. He said "ARe there any men left in Washington, or just cowards."

[PJ-Comix]

Did anybody notice that it was LOUIS FREEH who gave the go-ahead (not Sandy Berger nor the Clintonistas) to grab Ramzi Yousef (sp?) in Pakistan? I thought that was telling. They were waiting and waiting for authorization and it came from FREEH.

Kean is a RINO. Pretty funny that the two boobs running the commission were BOTH SOCIALISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doc Savage]

Congratulations! You're one of the 3 people who watch this piece of crap! Clarke is a disease. We need a CURE!

[ImpBill]

I saw it the same way; a disaster for the Xlintonistas.

Of course, do you think we might have been predisposed to think so? < /grin >

[Doc Savage]

That's nothing! You should have heard this demented Lib on 770 ABC last night. Can never remember this jerks name but he has a talk show. Called Clinton a "Hero" for protecting the American people.

First of all he doesn't understand the meaning of the word hero. Clinton may have been a role model for rapists and child molesters, but he certainly did not place his own sorry ass in mortal danger or give up his life so that others might live.

Can you even imaging calling this piece of turd a hero????????????????????????///

It was dumb of Clinton to even make a stinker about this film in the first place .. even if the clips were kept in

And it was even dumber to have Harry Reid and the other box of rocks Senators threaten ABC like they did

Most folks most likely wouldn't have watch this film on ABC tonight and would have watched something else

What the Clinton's and the Democrats did was to remind us all why they should never ever be allowed to take control of our country again

First, those are excellent points. I am not quibbling with you, but your comments spark some thoughts in me that I want to use as a launching platform.

We must be reminded that Clinton used all of the authority at his fingertips to try to deny Gennifer Flowers her Constitutional rights. He did so again with ABC and attempting to coerce them into not running this film.

But, Harry Reid, et al, made it much worse with their letter to ABC threatening their broadcast license. In this case, they have attempted to extort a privately held entertainment company and deny them their First Amendment rights to free speech.

This is what Democrat control of the House and/or Senate will bring us. If this is what we Republicans want for our country so we can convey our displeasure to the members of our own party, then this is what we have to look forward to. If you are thinking about sitting on your hands in November and not voting, think long and hard about the effort the Democrats and the Clintonistas made to stop ABC from airing this film - then go do the right thing FOR AMERICA!!!!

You are correct. something to the effect:are there no men in washington? or only cowards? Im sure that will leave a mark.

This is the response letter sent to whining Clinton supporters by

Thank you for contacting us regarding the ABC special, "The Path to 9/11."

This Sunday and Monday WCVB-TV Channel 5 will air ABC's commercial-free broadcasts of "The Path to 911." On Monday, Part Two will be followed by a special edition of "Primetime Live," an electronic town meeting.

We will forward your concerns to the ABC Network, since they are still in the final edit of the program.

The following disclaimer will air throughout the movie:

"The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of sources including the 9/11 Commission Report and other published materials, and from personal interviews. The movie is not a documentary. For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, as well as time compression."

ABC further states,

"The events that lead to 9/11 originally sparked great debate, so it's not surprising that a movie surrounding those events has revived the debate. The attacks were a pivotal moment in our history that should never be forgotten and it's fitting that the discussion continues."

From talk shows to internet blogs, the discussions about "The Path to 911" have generated much heat, but precious little light. It is interesting to note that viewers, who have been kind enough to contact us directly, arise from two distinct camps: pro-President Bill Clinton and pro-President George W.Bush. That is correct -- both sides have been complaining.

Having reviewed a copy of this mini-series, the management at Channel 5 feels strongly that viewers should decide for themselves the merits of this movie. Unfortunately, there is plenty of blame to go around -- Republican, Democrat, government official and everyday citizen.

The AyePee reporter could've added the sentence "The WH has demanded no changes to the movie's content."

And been absolutley correct in this and other instances.

"If people blame Bill Clinton after seeing this, then the miniseries has failed," said Kean

Don't worry Kean,I blamed Clinton for 9/11 ON 9/11. I didn't have to wait for movie 5 years later....

[angcat]

Exactly!

[SAMS]

Berger is a f*&%$@g p@$$y.

[NewLand]

No matter what, this shows the entire Clinton admin as being weak and without courage.

The film, most importantly, also shows the enemy for who they are: our sworn enemy, and dirty dogs who deserve the fate that awaits them.

It also shows the danger we face within from a bloated bureaucracy that still exists today, although soomewhat improved from 2001.

Last, IMO, it should wake up those 'purist' conservatives who are willing to take the risk of allowing the Dems to re-take control of Congress, The WH, and our military...just to make a point and make themselves 'feel better'.

I hope there are more like that.

[sandra_789]

Please send it to him.

The actors used to play both Madeline Notsobright and Sandy Burglar looked a million percent better than those two insects look in real life.

But pasty-faced Clinton looked as sick and slimy as possible---

because they used actual film footage of him.

The clintons had no choice but to protest so they could go around for the next decade saying it was a made up lie. There are now plenty of people that learned they made the wrong choice in ever allowing a vote to go to the Clintons.
