Barbara Bodine, US Ambassador to Yemen from 1997 to 2001 and now at the Kennedy School, was on Open Source on November 29, 2005 to discuss Iraq exit strategies on the show What John Murtha Wrought. 

Barabra Bodine - Ambassador to Yemen during USS Cole attack Bodine , who is Jewish is the ambassador for Yemen. When the USS Cole was attacked the FBI sent a team led by John O’Neill who immediately suspected Israel. Bodine started an intense political battle to oust O’Neill. Bodine wanted to control the investigation and resented the fact that suddenly there were hundreds of FBI personnel in the country . Then January 2001 comes, and O'Neill wants to go back to Yemen. But Ambassador Bodine wouldn't give him clearance. In July 2001 O’Neill resigns from the FBI.

I don't think so.

LOL!

O'Neil's suitcase had classified FBI documents in it. One of those docs was a complete guide to the security layout for all of NYC. You can imagine what a colossol faux pas this was. O'Neil's negligence -- and I say that respectfully because I admired and supported O'Neil) basically further demoralized him. He went on to serve as the security head of the WTC and he perished in the Towers on 911. Amazing story.

He was a big man who lived a large life and died in a huge tragedy.

Yes, even though we didn't formally recognize the government, we still gave them "humanitarian aid". OF course, we still gave NORTH KOREA humanitarian aid, because we seem to think we should save people from the actions of their evil leaders.

oh, except in IRaq, where we actually DID save people from their evil leader. There is was very bad, the democrats tell us.

Thanks for the link VOA.

[rhombus]

I didn't find it offensive at all.Me neither. You don't step in and shift the Gov't instantly - ESPECIALLY when your transition team is delayed by Democrat lawyers.

[TankerKC]

From what I can tell, he was the guy who caused 9/11 to happen.

I blame the terrorists.

GWB to Osama

With hundreds of mid easterners crossing the mex border almost at will it's not only okc anymore.

I was more focused on the line "if they kill me, that will be your signal". And he was, indeed, assassinated on 9/10/01.

If Clinton had gone after OBL, I would have cheered. We knew he was a threat then.

Clinton was too busy stopping Serbians from defending their Christian lifestyle.

Kathryn Jean Lopez made the quote above. Sorry about that -- forgot to include her name.

[RedCell]

Sweet!

[VOA]

When I was living in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, Heaton was a
guest speaker for a fund-raiser for a pro-life group. It was advertized on
the big Christian talk station (KKLA; 99.5FM).

She also caught some nasty comments when she came "out of the closet" and
let people know she was a fairly devout Christian, even if she worked in Hollywood.
She sounds like a pretty much a "straight shooter"; she was even transparent
about having cosmetic surgery as a necessity of TV/film work.

Yes she was ugly,but she did some things right.

Big bureaucracies don't work any more. That's why border security is going local. Every city small and large is now or should be in the process of providing their own border security, the feds aren't up to it any more.It's very sad but true.

Sad? Thats the way it should be. decentralized Govt. Men and Women looking to their own lives and getting busy.

[mcshot]

I concur!!!!
