When is Clinton scheduled to appear?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Do they mean that the Democrats will only have one hour to continually ask the same stupid question, even if the President already answered it? How dare he.

[international american]

An hour is too long!

[SquirrelKing]

When is Clinton scheduled to appear?

My first thought. Knowing him it'd be a Monicagate, Bin-Ladenesque videotaped statement with him biting his lower lip.

[Semper Vigilantis]

Fix the problem, not the blame.

Created by the U.S. Congress, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States is charged with examining lapses in intelligence [in the oval office from 1993 through 2000] and [the lack of] national security in the months[years] before the attacks. Strikes by hijacked airplanes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon killed about 3,000 people

Alas, I couldn't help myself, for that statement parallels the misstatement "the Bush recession"!

The panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States will get one hour to ask President George W. Bush what he knew about events leading up to the suicide airline hijackings, the White House said on Friday.

Dang it must be a long question.

[KantianBurke]

This is silly. One damn hour for face time? How about they simply sumit to Bush a list of written questions and he responds in a similar manner?

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Dennis Hastert has been opposed to granting the panel's request for a 60-day extension on the grounds that the report would be issued at the height of the U.S. presidential campaign, potentially politicizing its findings.

Some Democrats in Congress have accused the White House of only half-heartedly backing the commission's request for an extension.

But McClellan called such accusations "silly."

The White House chief of staff, Andrew Card, has personally appealed to Hastert to reconsider.

"We continue to urge Congress to grant an extension," McClellan said.

So, are we really supposed to believe this? That Hastert is putting his foot down and drawing a line in the sand against GWB? If the WH wanted this extension, I can't imagine that Bush would allow Hastert to stall it, unless Hastert is concerned about the re-election prospects of House Republicans from the release of the report.

Created by the U.S. Congress, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States is charged with examining lapses in intelligence and national security in the months before the attacks.

As if 9/11 happened in a vacuum and not in the context of: the first WTC bombing (2/26/93), the Khobar Towers bombing, the simultaneous bombings on 2 of our embassies in Africa, the U.S.S. Cole?

So what if there's voluminous evidence that the planning for this attack began more than TWO YEARS in advance -- which meant that it went on right under the noses of the crack Rodham-Clinton-Gore administration?!

When do Clinton, Gore and Rodham (who constantly bleats about her role in her hubby's administration) testify about what they knew and when they knew it? Then again, given that it's common knowledge that the three of them are pathological liars, why bother?

[cake_crumb]

Why SHOULDN'T he limit it? The intelligence failures occurred during the Clinton administration.

[NJJ]

Investigating what went wrong on 911 is a good idea and I'm sure this administration is already doing something internally to find out. I'm also sure it will take positive measures on whatever it need to do.

As for this committee, I doubt that anything of value will come out of it.

[pawdoggie]

The length of time for the interview depends on how many new and creative ways the Democrat members have devised to ask the President: "What did you know, and when did you stop knowing it, you lying SOB?"
