CONDI VS. BUBBA . . .(Berger stolen papers revealed?)
NY Post ^ | 9/26/06 | Editorial

Posted on 09/26/2006 6:08:31 AM PDT by teddyballgame

In fact, a 1999 Clarke after-action memo - the one top Clinton aide Sandy Berger later stole from the National Archives - identified national-security weaknesses so "glaring" that only sheer "luck" prevented a cataclysmic attack back then.

And, as Clarke told the 9/11 Commission publicly, there was nothing the Bush administration could have done that would have prevented the attacks.

Sure, he tells a different story now. But that, he admitted, is because of his opposition to the Iraq war, which he believes distracted from the War on Terror.

Secretary Rice was a lot more honest, explaining yesterday that there was no full-scale War on Terror "the way that we're fighting it now" - by either administration - before 9/11: "We just weren't organized as a country, either domestically or as a leader internationally."

Several of them don't exist any longer. More of them will cease to exist soon enough.

Patience.

Bush, he added, took action on several "issues that had been on the table for a couple of years," such as instituting a new policy in Pakistan that convinced Islamabad "to break away from the Taliban" and boosting "CIA resources . . . for covert action five-fold to go after al Qaeda." "

Was it not THEN when President Bush said something like this:"Stop the flies swathings!!!" ???

I have little patience due to what the commielibs did to us with the Vietnam Battle of the Not Cold War. They are doing the same thing again.

I completely understand. The same players are trying the same strategy. You are absolutely entitled to have little patience.

If it makes any difference, I'm in this for the long haul and to the best of my ability will not allow that to happen again. And, thank you for your service.

The Rudy Obfuscation Factory comes to mind. The shape of things to come if Rudy and his ding-a-lings ever get anywhere near the WH.

Look at the fools dragging the Julie-Annie Trojan Horse in behind the city wall...

They're about as subtle as a circus parade down Fifth Avenue:

And it looks like the parade is almost over.

Clinton effectively slept through it all - and now he's trying to rewrite history.

He's always looking for his legacy. Or at least one that doesn't make him look like a scumbag.

That won't happen. More people are familiar with this version than his real portrait.

and we are under attack from within.......the dems and their media corps even got Disney to change the quote Lincoln says in the Hall of the Presidents....It originally was about that "no foreign hand could harm us, if we were to fall it would come from within...."

That is gone now....

Marcus Tullius Cicero Roman Statesman---Speech in the Roman Senate - 42 BC

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. "
