This is like saying we have a report saying that a plane will crash or a train will wreck but there is no specific details about anything. It could happen tomorrow or next week or in the future. No one knows. MamaB

9-11 was part of the Clinton Legacy. It was the Clintonites who disemboweled the CIA, emasculated the FBI, and armed INS thugs to arrest a six-year-old boy.

Who do these DumbRats think they are kidding?

They continue to obstruct justice by refusing to approve Bush's appointments to the Federal judiciary and to the US District Attorneys offices.

History will lay the events of 9-11 at Clinton's feet. He and his merry band of traitors sold out the security of this nation.

Don't forget about Al Gore trading stiffer airline security for $500,000 of campaign contributions from the airline industry in 2000.

I disagree, I think it all goes further back than 2001. I think the hearings should focus on information that the CLINTON administration received and didn't act upon. I believe they were told that there was the possiblity of commercial planes being used to target buildings.

Mansoor Ijaz, who is a consultant on FoxNewsNetwork has reported on this many times.

Why don't they just wait until the next event and point fingers then?

This country is wide open. All these same people "complaining" here have allowed this. And there are so many ways to "terrorize" us we might try to stop some of this but as long as the borders are wide open and people like Shelby and Daschle, etc. don't do anything about it we are sitting ducks.

The jihadists are here. Who is the most responsible for letting them in? Clinton tops the list. Who is going to protect our borders? That's what I want to know. Little Dick and Tommy? I doubt it.

I have an idea :

Why not have a 24/7 news channel, say CNN, spend a few days and give every single member of Congress FIFTEEN minutes to tell the country how they, or some agency, or some person, or their cat, or their dog, had advance waring about the September 11 atrocity, and it the information had been acted upon promptly, the tragedy could have been prevented?!?!?

THEN WE COULD GET THIS POMPOUS, SELF SERVING STRUT FEST OVER WITH AND CONCENTRATE ON FIGURING OUT WHAT THE BAD GUYS PLAN NEXT THEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO CIRCUMVENT THOSE PLANS!!

EGAD, pumped up politicians are making me ILL.

Every President and Congress since the effects of the 1965 Immigration Act started to kick in the 1970's. So for Presidents, I would say Nixon through GW Bush. Only one of those Presidents, however, is responsible, for continuing to let them in now, and that's George W. Bush.

Right on, Quilla!

The Dems are running scared. When even an ultra-liberal establishment government like that in Holland is overturned, it is an omen. 'Rats know they are in jeopardy in the Congressional elections this fall. They are running around like chickens with their heads off this week, first complaining about that absolutely great pic of GWB being....GASP....sold! for cash money!! for campaign contributions!!! Then trying to pin 9-11 on our President, when the lying scum know it was their own who created the climate in which Al Quaeda could succeed here.

Dems are morally and spiritually bankrupt...and one would suspect their bottom financial line ain't too good either! Not in this post 9-11 atmosphere of renewed patriotism and spirituality. They are has-beens.

...we now know that the FBI, CIA and INS are in need of a major overhaul.

They need to start by cleaning out all the Arkansas law enforcement thugs that were let in during the Clinton administration in exchange for their silence.

He just got started when he slipped off his box and cut his chin on the podium. (In my dreams.)

Ollie North spoke about the terrorism threat to our country for years and no one listened. But no one (not even Ollie) knew what was to happen on 9-11.

If it were true that intel knew about planes being flown into buildings, how do you tell which buildings would have been targets? That's right, with your crystal ball. Hindsight is always 20/20 my dear.

If blame can be placed on Bush for 911, then it can be placed squarely on Dick Gephardt as well.

And blamed on Jim Jeffords, too.

If he hadn't defected the Republicans would still have been in charge of the Senate's Intelligence Committee.

A little continuity might have helped. After all if you check SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE KICKS OFF 2000 WITH WORLD THREAT HEARING

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-AL) and newly appointed Committee Vice Chairman Richard Bryan (D-NV), announced today that the Committee will begin the second session of the 106th Congress with its annual World Threat Assessment to be held on Wednesday, January 26, 2000.

Jeffords switched parties and the Democrats took over the Senate.

BTW this press release can not be linked to from the Intelligence committee's web page of links to press releases. For some reason the link there leads to the wrong press release.

He stated that the flight schools MAY be used and these flight schools may need to be monitored in the future..

Maybe the FBI wanted to make sure that no one parked an explosive-laden truck next to a flight school? (ala OKC and WTC-1993)
