FUNYT.
Bush prevented multiple FOLLOWUP attacks on Los Angeles, the Brooklyn Bridge, Hethrow Airport, etc. without any acknowledgement from the Pravda Press.
If the goal was to “justify war”, why not permit the other attacks? To show “why we fight”?
FUNYT.
And then she stepped in to “represent” BP in negotiations after the Gulf Oil spill.
For such a lousy track record, she sure gets high profile work.
30 pieces of silver to sell out America.
In fact, I just saw a Sixty Minutes video where they interviewed a CIA operative whose team had Bin Laden in their sights in 1998 or ‘99 and were refused permission to terminate him.
