But, just like E Howard Hunt’s confession, few will believe it.

“There may not even be an America around in 300 years” =

Former President CLINTON stated publically after the Attacks of 9/11

“It’s now time for the world to start imagining a world without an America in it” =

IRAN recently stated publically

Thus, the Battle for the 21st Century has been enjoined and defined by Freedom’s Enemy

NEVER FORGET

In front of the world CLINTON National Security Advisor and former Chief D.C. Lobbyist for Communist China SANDY BERGER told the American People on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’...

“I guarantee there is no way the Communist Chinese can get a hold of our missile and space satellite technology while launching American space satellites from inside China.” (para)

Which, of course, is exactly what Communist China quickly did, by design.

NEVER FORGET

And people wonder why the rule of law doesn’t matter when it comes to the immigration issue.

No question, with our 'ground' under attack; our moral ground under attack; our Constitution under attack; that America, as we know it, is vulnerable. Enemies beyond our borders and home grown. ..and in 'Leadership' make it all easier to imagine.

(A population that has been anesthesized by political Correctness; as well, a Leftist-serving MSM and anti-life pop culture, to some extent. . .and schools determined to 'dumb down' rather than create 'great expectations' all contribute to dismal possibilities.)

THAT said. . .America is still the 'greatest'. .. we are not cooked yet; and there is hope and there is still, WILL. . .FOR America.

(But we do have to acknowledge the threat here; so as to marshal that Will appropriately. . .)

Two words: Able Danger.

“The Sept. 11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell,” said Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana. “Had we learned of it obviously it would’ve been a major focus of our investigation.”

Hamilton’s remarks Tuesday followed findings by Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees, that made front-page news.

In June, Weldon displayed charts on the floor of the U.S. Senate showing that Able Danger identified the suspected terrorists in 1999. The unit repeatedly asked for the information to be forwarded to the FBI but apparently to no avail. Various news outlets picked up on the story this week.

Weldon said that in September 2000, the unit recommended on three separate occasions that its information on the hijackers be given to the FBI “so they could bring that cell in and take out the terrorists.” However, Weldon said Pentagon lawyers rejected the recommendation, arguing that Atta and the others were in the country legally so information on them could not be shared with law enforcement.

“Lawyers within the administration — and we’re talking about the Clinton administration, not the Bush administration — said ‘you can’t do it,’” and put post-its over Atta’s face, Weldon said. “They said they were concerned about the political fallout that occurred after Waco … and the Branch Davidians.”

And now you know what the Bergler stole, notes related to AD. But there's more:

Well, look now to what the 9/11 report has to say about the man to whom President Clinton, under attack by an independent counsel,delegated so much in respect of national security, Samuel “Sandy” Berger. The report cites a 1998 meeting between Mr. Berger and the director of central intelligence, George Tenet, at which Mr. Tenet presented a plan to capture Osama bin Laden.

“In his meeting with Tenet, Berger focused most, however, on the question of what was to be done with Bin Ladin if he were actually captured. He worried that the hard evidence against Bin Ladin was still skimpy and that there was a danger of snatching him and bringing him to the United States only to see him acquitted,” the report says, citing a May 1, 1998, Central Intelligence Agency memo summarizing the weekly meeting between Messrs. Berger and Tenet.

In June of 1999, another plan for action against Mr. bin Laden was on the table. The potential target was a Qaeda terrorist camp in Afghanistan known as Tarnak Farms. The commission report released yesterday cites Mr. Berger’s “handwritten notes on the meeting paper” referring to “the presence of 7 to 11 families in the Tarnak Farms facility, which could mean 60-65 casualties.”According to the Berger notes, “if he responds, we’re blamed.”

On December 4, 1999, the National Security Council’s counterterrorism coordinator, Richard Clarke, sent Mr. Berger a memo suggesting a strike in the last week of 1999 against Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan. Reports the commission: “In the margin next to Clarke’s suggestion to attack Al Qaeda facilities in the week before January 1, 2000, Berger wrote, ‘no.’ ”

In August of 2000, Mr. Berger was presented with another possible plan for attacking Mr. bin Laden.This time, the plan would be based on aerial surveillance from a “Predator” drone. Reports the commission: “In the memo’s margin,Berger wrote that before considering action, ‘I will want more than verified location: we will need, at least, data on pattern of movements to provide some assurance he will remain in place.’ ”

In other words, according to the commission report, Mr. Berger was presented with plans to take action against the threat of Al Qaeda four separate times — Spring 1998, June 1999, December 1999, and August 2000. Each time, Mr. Berger was an obstacle to action. Had he been a little less reluctant to act, a little more open to taking pre-emptive action, maybe the 2,973 killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks would be alive today.

That’s the main thing that REALLY pisses me off about Bush -

his unwillingness to appear “political” by going after people who have done serious harm to our country.

. .more specifically, that would be. ..the 'Clinton Political Classless'. . .but still. . .why have these mechanics/dynamics of Justice been allowed to manifest and give 'shape' - a bad one - to Bush Administration; why are they ignored by Bush?

I recently had the opportunity to ask Congressman Tancredo this very question. He indicated that the Justice Dept. is still infested with Clinton, and even Carter, holdovers.

Here’s the bottom line:

Given the severity of the crime that Berger committed,

it’s obvious that NOT stealing those documents would have had FAR GREATER CONSEQUENCES than the punishment for stealing them.

Since 9-11, the Bush Administration has had their hands full dealing with the war on terror while facing a constant barrage of attacks from the left and complicit media (but I repeat myself). As much as I'd like to see every Clinton crony prosecuted and jailed for their failings and cover ups, I appreciate the administration directing energies toward protecting us via intelligence, policies, and preemptive attacks.

Please note the incredible efforts of this White House on our behalf: 9/11 Five Years Later: Successes and Challenges

Or, more precisely, the Bush administration allowed him to get away with it.

To make matters worse, they reinstated his security clearance!!!

What is at stake is more than what we think and say about Sandy Berger. It is more than the legacy of Bill Clinton and of George W. Bush. It is more than the prospects for Hillary Clinton becoming the Democrats' presidential nominee and ultimately the President. All of these, of course, are wrapped up in this story.

Our security and vitality of the rule of law in America are at stake as well. That should concern all whose lives and loved ones may be at risk if our nation follows the wrong path, not knowing everything that should inform our judgments. It should concern all who respect the law, all who have labored as lawyers and judges, as honorable government officials and voices for even-handed justice.

Confidence in our ability to govern ourselves erodes when high ranking POS like Sandy Berger walks in lockstep with a Just Us Department. Great men and women have given their lives for this?

A very interesting development. Obviously, he had far more to lose by retaining his license. And it hopefully ends whatever speculation there might have been for him to return to public office under any administration.

It saddens me to read the attacks on the President here on FR. His administration may not have been able to get to the whole truth behind the Berger/Clinton story but I don’t think anyone could have.
