I would hope that the President is considering a forum where he is able to speak directly to the American people on this subject.

Bush will be speaking directly to the American people twice a week on the Campaign trail. You folks have to remember something. The only people who believe Richard Clarke at this stage, are those who WANT to believe Richard Clarke. Independents, who will decide this election are not going to be swayed by partisan witch-hunting on the part of the Left. Hell, you guys don't even have the Osama news yet. This is nothing. And no, don't even ask me. ;-)

It is time for the Silent Majority to rise up! We faught for this man in 2000 - I went to street demonstrations during the recount fiasco to fight the leftists. We made ourselves heard and it made a difference. President Bush has worked his heart out trying to protect us and the RATS/media are attempting to completely destroy him. I believe that God will step in here at some point but God also says that God helps those that help themselves. The time for sitting around complaining about the RAT/media partisanship os over. It is time for action or we will deserve whatever we get. President Bush deserves our all, IMHO.

(Deserved to be restated).

AND AGAIN!

That's a powder - and if you put it in a bag with the label from the rice, I don't think they can do anything to you. I'm going to check with the PO and see what they have to say about it.

Here is my letter to them.

To: Thomas H.Kean, Lee H.Hamilton, Richard Ben Veniste, Fred F.Fielding,Jamie S. Gorelick, Slade Gorton, Bob Kerrey,John F.Lehman, Timothy J. Roemer, James R. Thompson,

Shame on all of you!You,who have been put into a position to find answers as to what went wrong on September 11,2001, have made these hearings a total waste of the American peoples time and money.I had hoped that I would see a panel of Americans who could put aside their political differences and come together to find the answers ,but I should have known better.What I witnessed was a panel that wanted to put the blame on someone,not find answers.You pointed so many times at the fact that Condoleeza Rice would not attend these hearings.You gave the impression that Ms.Rice did not want to go before the commission.What you made little known was that she had come before you in private and answered all the questions you asked of her.What purpose(,other than for grandstanding effect) did you keep repeating that she wouldn't show up.?
On another point Mr.Clarke was asked at one time who finalized the plans for the Bin Laden family to be flown out of the United States.Mr. Clarke answered that he was not privy as to who gave the final go ahead. He was then asked who would usually give the final okay to plans of these types,to which he responded .Now I ask you what was the benefit of that question?Would Mr.Clarkes hypothetical answer help this commission find out how to keep terrorist from hurting this country again?No and you know it was a question asked for political ramifications.
What I want to ask this commission is does this nation mean nothing to you?Can you not put aside the fact that you are a Republican or Democrat for the safety of this nation?Will it take more of us being killed to make you open your eyes.You are suppose to be looking to find answers as to what happened on 9-11,if you don't put you political preferences aside one day if another terrorist strike hits us the people of this nation will be looking to you and ask why couldn't you have just been an American ,not a Republican or Democrat ,and found out how we could avoid this again!

Rasmussen was SO wrong,during the 2000 election, and I'm talking about right up to election day, that at 7 1/2 months out, anyone taking his poll numbers as gospel, needs the reality check.

There is NO " disaster unfolding ", except in your own wee mind.

but I WAS told that by the time the Sunday shows roll around, Clarke will wish he was in the Witness Protection program.

I love that line!

I don't know who your contacts are, or if you have them, but I hope you do and that you are right!
