Tonight Shaffer, with his usual concise and direct style, gave us new tidbits to ponder.
In response to Hannity's question regarding how and why the infomation was not passed along Shaffer offered, "A two star general repremanded him in his strenuous insistance that the information regarding Atta and three others should be passed to the FBI. He was blocked and blocked completly by this two star who went so far as to upbraid him and remind him he was a general and Shaffer was not. "
This is one more significan blow to the criminal actions of the 9/11 CYA commission and perhaps a certain general. I can't wait till his name comes out. Perhaps he is no longer in the chain of command as sure he would still be working to block this coming out.
Although it didn't get much notice on FR earlier today information from Shaffer stated that the Bush Administration had known about these revelations since two weeks after 9/11. Very nearly four years. evidently they chose to let sleeping dogs lie. Probably part of Bush's 'New Tone in Washington' plan.
If he's the only one to come out on this story, he's done. the "system" will take care of him even if he's telling the truth. Seems he'd have to be a total ass to go out on this limb w/out some further support. We shall have to see.
I forget the source. Believe I read it on FR.
Reportedly Bush was told on entering office that if he hung any of Clinton's folks for their sins, THE DIMRATS IN CONGRESS WOULD LOCK IT DOWN TIGHT AND NOTHING WOULD BE DONE FOR BUSH'S WHOLE TERM.
But, sadly, increasingly, methinks the whole political play is a horrendous version of good cop/bad cop by the same puppet masters.
From what I remember at first he said he had 10 more that will come forward on this. By now though they could have been persuaded to change their minds.
Shaffer was really reaching out, like looking for a lifeline and it wasn't there. Savage didn't sound too helpful.
Damn Damn Damn...
I actually catch myself taking all this religiously serious sometimes. It's important. We need to fight evil untill the last breath .... but I can see the falling away permeating everything around me. Won't be all that long now.
Let's see what develops.
I'll be waiting and hoping for the best. Talk radio hasn't latched onto this story like I thought it would. I've e-mailed Hewitt twice and he is like it doesn't exist.
Well I'm going to try and forget it and what happens happens.
You did your bit, thanks. I'll be interested to see if this simply dies, or if it continues forward.
Regards, Cautor
i MUCH, MUCH agree.
Thanks.
LOOK UP FOR OUR REDEMPTION . . .
Thanks, I'll be watching also. I'll ping you if I see anything encouraging and hope you do the same.
Fishing may be on the agenda next week.
Take care.
