Democrats.com: Bush Avoids All Responsibility for Sept. 11; BuckStopsThere.com Launched With Events in SF, Berkeley

WASHINGTON, June 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Democrats.com, the largest independent community of Democrats, will launch an offensive this week to force President George W. Bush to take responsibility for the diplomatic and intelligence failures that led to the attacks of September 11. So far, Bush has refused to hold anyone responsible for the failures that provoked the terrorist attack and allowed it to succeed. Instead, Bush announced a plan to reorganize minor government agencies - but NOT the agencies most responsible for the failure to stop September 11: the FBI, CIA, National Security Council, the Defense Department, and the FAA.

In response to this attempted evasion of responsibility, Democrats.com will launch a new Web site called "BuckStopsThere.com" with events this week in San Francisco and Berkeley. The events are to be held on Thursday June 13 at Maya, a restaurant in San Francisco, starting at 5:30 p.m. and on Friday, June 14, at Cafe de la Paz, a restaurant in Berkeley, starting at 5 p.m. There is more information about these events at http://www.democrats.com/nocal or it is available by sending an e-mail message to events@democrats.com.

According to Democrats.com co-founder Bob Fertik, "The President is ultimately responsible for the failures of his government. President Harry Truman hit the nail on the head when he declared, 'The Buck Stops Here.' George W. Bush claims to be an admirer of Truman. But when it comes to September 11 for Bush, the buck stops THERE -- somewhere, anywhere, as long as it is far away from Bush himself. Hence our new Web site at http://www.buckstopsthere.com."

According to Democrats.com co-founder David Lytel, "BuckStopsThere.com is focused on identifying ALL of the senior officials in the Bush administration whose actions -- or inactions -- led to the catastrophic events of September 11. This includes the State Department officials who, in secret negotiations with the Taliban in the summer of 2001, threatened Afghanistan with an all out attack if they failed to approve a natural gas pipeline proposed by California-based Unocal. It also includes failure to take obvious precautions in response to the numerous warnings prior to 911, and also the failure to respond in real time as the attack unfolded on that fateful -- but not unexpected -- day."

Now in its third year, Democrats.com is the largest independent community of Democrats and a leading vendor of Internet campaign services to Democratic candidates and committees. Calling themselves "the aggressive progressives," Democrats.com publishes the most widely circulated commercially sponsored electronic newsletters for Democrats, and engages Democrats in focused and effective political action. Its goal is to make the Democratic Party a more effective vehicle for the opposition to the Bush presidency and for the presentation of a progressive, alternative agenda.

House Majority Leader Dick Armey today called upon Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to vote on 50 bills that have passed the House and are stalled in the Senate.

"The American people want action," said Armey. "They don't want political posturing. The Democrat-led Senate has a responsibility to vote on legislation. In fact, it's their job."

Do they really want to go there?

Let's take a look- this is just from my files-

CNN: Clinton & Reno's FBI warned 6 Years Ago of Plans To HIT Pentagon With Airplane!

MI6 [warned Clinton] of bin Laden's flying bomb plot

Hijackers' money trail traced to Oklahoma

U.S. Long Underestimated Qaeda's Scope, Officials Say

CIA Officer: Clinton Protected Saddam

The Hijackers We Let Escape (CIA tracked two 9/11 terrorists in January 2000)

Investigative Report: What They Knew; When They Knew It

The following collection of news reports point toward the Clinton cover-up of Terrorist Acts against the US....rather than deal with the real threats that led to 9/11 the Clinton Administration and main stream media deceived the American public into thinking that the real threat in the 90's was talk radio,conservatives,militia and Christians.
