This 'war' may well come to be known as the War of Saudi Succession. The Taliban were tied to a faction around Turki and the more nationalist 'anti-western' groups. Saudi princes tend to either read the Koran and the like, or worship Bachus, Venus & co. The former would prefer a more autonomous relationship with the West, the latter simply agree with Mel Brook that it's good to be the king. 9-11 almost certainly involved the two factions.

I'd like to know what to do with this rage I have inside me. The Hildebeast and The Cancerous Nose will drive me to drink. This couple will NEVER come to justice.? Do you think God has something SPECIAL in store for them? I hope Yup.....this is going to be his legacy. More and more info is coming out about his failure to act on the info given him and he knows it. Why else is he stopping people on the street and telling them he "tried to get Bin Laden."

Congress is charged with the responsibility for the common defense. They failed, but we shouldn't leave bill out of the equation.

PS, Congress was too busy with their infighting and power plays to be overly concerned with common defense.

America,Its not the economy stupid! Its this crook and bimbo that we placed in the White House named Clinton. He started this along with all of his liberal non-conforming friends. If you havent read Gary Aldrich's book "Unlimited Acces" read it and it shows how and where this began. Americas security was put on the back burner.PAYDAY SOMEDAY!

" 'This represents the worst single intelligence failure in this whole terrible business. It is the key to the whole thing right now. It is reasonable to say that had we had this data we may have had a better chance of preventing the attacks.' "He said the blame for the failure lay in the 'irrational hatred' the Clinton administration felt for the source of the proffered intelligence."
This explanation is spin. Not a chance in the world such information would be rejected inadvertently, or from "irrational hatred."
There's a reason some powerful people in the intelligence community didn't want to be in possession of it. The only rational (rational, but evil) reason I can come up with is that the decision maker[s] didn't want certain members of our own intelligence community to know who these people are/were because those certain members can't/couldn't be trusted to keep their mouths shut.
There are some loyal Americans in our intelligence agencies; otherwise we wouldn't know half what we do. Leaks from these folks may be our salvation.

--yes, but we are encouraged to rah rah rah cheerlead all our leaders and their (our) employees over the years. They can do no wrong, or "it's all the democrats fault". One or the other.
Still wondering when the klamath farmers will stop being terrorized by the bush republican administration. Whoops, more politically incorrect speech, I forgot, "he needs more time". Still wondering when any federal official or bureaucrat or employee is going to be fired and/or prosecuted for any malfeasance. Oh ya, "he needs more time". Oh no, "bush bashing". Not. It's reality stating. Let the bashes fall where they may, as far as I am concerned, the new elected rookie president honeymoon period is over.

Except that we -- or at least I -- don't know yet of anything the Sudanese did that could be interpreted as f***ing with Clinton.
Perhaps they didn't support him to his liking?

Exactly.
The same group has been at work before here in the United States.
You have to give Bubba credit, however. His modus operandi was clever indeed: gut intelligence gathering through "humanitarian" means by making it illegal to recruit anyone who is not in a leadership position, disassociate the government from regimes who have key intelligence by saying they sponsor terrorism.
And, of course, indirectly sponsor bin Laden by fabricating a humanitarian crisis in Kosovo so that the KLA can funnel money from sex slavery and drugs sales into the wonderful cause of Marxist/Islamic terrorism. All of this - and the export of key American technology to the Chinese, to Syria, to anyone who would donate a few million to the wonderful democrats.
And where are the terribly honest and forthright Republicans on all of this? They're forming coalitions with the sponsors of terrorism to ease our pain.
To: fnord
You act surprised ... of course Clinton had an "irrational" hatred of Sudan; how much money do you think they could contribute to his "campaign" funds?
Bingo.
BUMP

Except that we -- or at least I -- don't know yet of anything the Sudanese did that could be interpreted as f***ing with Clinton. My understanding is that the Sudanese were using aspirins as a birth control device. You know, "take one, stick it between you kness and hold it there." This cut down on the population growth of the Sudan, and limited the number of foreigners that Clinton could bring into the country. Consequently, Clinton blew-up the aspirin factory.
And people say he wasn't rational. The jokes on them.
