Star was is and always will be worthless. I knew about Bin Laden. Bill Clinton didn't? I'm buying that one...

If we had the plane full of Osama and his family on the ground in Qatar, and we did nothing, people are going to be livid.

"So, what was Katie's response to all of this info....anyone?"

Frankly, I'm surprised Katie had Posner on at all. Maybe she wasn't properly briefed and assumed Posner would blame everything on Bush.

Well. . . what happened? What was her response?

BTW: Bump Franken down the list!

I don't know - I didn't see it. I was just commenting that I was surprised she even had Posner on.

She musta thought it was Vladamir Posner and she could get her talking points from the source rather than filtered by the DNC!

Pray for GW and the Truth

[concerned about politics]

. Is it true what I heard that Bush flew out the Bin Laden's out of the country right after 9/11??

Nah, but he had no legal right to stop them.

BTTT

You're right, it wasn't Starr's responsibility under the Constitution. Starr is more of a litigator than an investigator. Hopefully he does better with the Campaign Finance Reform nonsense.

The House and Senate (More the Senate than the House) failed us.

I've been pretty tough on Bush. I didn't vote for him and there is plenty that troubles me about him. I've tried to bend over backwards to be fair to him, but there are some issues that just plain wreak!

With regard to the Carlyle group, I've been pretty forgiving. If it were Clinton's buds involved with it I'd have made far more extrapolations based on it than I have with Bush's family. The left is pretty animated about this topic. In this instance they may have a point. Since they trash everthing Bush and his family do from sunup to sundown, it's hard to take them serious on any issue. This is probably one that we should all consider more than we do.

That being said, there are dynamics at play in the middle east that make our playing along with the Saudis more valid than surface appearance issues might support. I'm not convinced that we are justified in continuing our relationship with them, although I'm willing to concede that for long term strategic purposes, it would be best if we could get them to clean up their act and remain engaged with them. There are valid counterarguements, to be sure.

I'm sure Bush reviewed the departure of Bin Laden's family from the U.S. I would imagine that these folks had been under some pretty close scrutiny (but then who knows, as incompetent as our security people have been), and if they weren't involved in any shady activity, I don't see why they shouldn't have been allowed to leave.

I would have had a tap on their phones 24/7/365. I just hope our officials could string the need for that together.

but who hit then, the Saudis, or the CIA?

then=them

Oh Lord, Another book to read (and buy for others as Christmas presents) about Billy Jeffs Gross Malfeasance.I don't know anyone who will throw a book away.Example: I bought 8 copies of "The Venona Secrets" a few Christmas' ago for people who were RINO'S. They all have read it and several have since admitted that they have been snookered/Lied to by the left all these years. Buy a book for a friend/relative, it will get opened ,if eventually.The ones that denied the facts in "The Venona Secrets", are humans who simply cannot be helped.

We sure do.

On July 22, 2002, Prince Ahmed dies of a heart attack at 43; a day later Prince Turki, 41, is killed in “a high-speed car accident.” The last member, Prince Fahd bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabir, mysteriously perishes of thirst while traveling east of Riyadh - just a week after. Finally, seven months later, Mir perishes in a plane crash.

Sounds to me like Hillary got involved as well. If this is all true, which I believe it is, then the Clintons and their minions should be tried for treason.

Beg to differ:

Citing Clarke, the magazine reports that within a week of the hijackings private planes picked up individuals from 10 cities, including Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Houston and Boston. Aviation officials complained the flights took place before the government had lifted flight restrictions for the general public.

"We were in the midst of the worst terrorist act in history and here we were seeing an evacuation of the bin Ladens. ... I wanted to go the highest levels in Washington," Tom Kinton, director of aviation at Boston's Logan International Airport, told the magazine. Kinton said it was clear the operation had the blessings of federal authorities.

Once the flight ban was lifted, two jumbo jets transported the Saudis out of the country. The Boston Globe reported at the time that two flights bound for Saudi Arabia with members of the bin Laden clan on board left Logan on Sept. 18 and 19. Other reports put the departure date at Sept. 14.

No one else was flying. Why give those rag bags special treatment?

“I was infuriated. My blood kept boiling as I realized that eight of these ten years leading up to 9/11 were under his watch – and the job that was done was just terrible.”

We knew that! And now we have Bubbanuts telling everyone, "I worked so hard on getting Bin Laden, I never worked so hard on anything in my life!"

And Bush is the liar, right democrats and some freepers?
