Rep Weldon to give major House Floor speech on Able Danger momentarily; ON CSPAN NOW
CSPAN ^ | October 19, 2005

Posted on 10/19/2005 4:59:18 PM PDT by TomGuy

Rep. Kirt Weldon is on Michael Savage's radio program, and he is implying Rumsfeld is the one blocking further investigation into Able Danger.

Weldon is fuming; says he personally (in a committee hearing) asked Rumsfeld about the investigation being blocked. Rumsfeld replied that he would 'get back to Weldon with a response.' Weldon says he still has gotten nothing from Rumsfeld.

Weldon to give a speech in a few moments this evening on the floor of the House. It should be aired on CSPAN this evening.

Why Rumsfeld? He's not responsible for the Clinton left-overs who are probably doing this stuff on the sly.

Sorry Oxen, if I slighted you the credit...but, I know Mo1, you were instrumental in keeping on Tony Snow to get him to find out what was going on, at least I am pretty sure....hehe

BTW...OXEN didn't start the Senate LIVE Thread today...you think he is busy evacuating? I don't know what part of FLA he is from, do you?

"... guy at Defense that is spreading false rumors about Schaeffer ISN'T known by Rummy...and Rummy is unknowing about this???"


That's what I'm thinking too. The Clinton left-overs are doing this undercover.

I forgot about that...and I was one of the ones to post that Sean was vehement about NOT "wasting money" on Freeh's book...
~~~~~~~~~~

I wonder why Sean would say that. I haven't read Morris' (new book and don't plan to) but I would think it would be a fluff piece compared to Freeh's.

"Get serious, will you!!"

I am serious. Bush came into the Presidency. Most people were not thinking much about terrorism & neither was he.

His administration made some mistakes vis a vis Able Danger. Probably 1/20th of what Clinton did in this regard. Maybe 1/100th. But enough for him to want to cover it up.

You really think some low- or mid-level bureaucrat can sit on this?

"jump to the enemy side"

You mean the side Curt Weldon and Lt Col Schaffer are on? I'm with them.

I've checked C-SPAN - it's not on the schedule - and I've already sent them an scathing email about not replay it - when it's so important for America to know about.

I almost forgot that Weldon said that the President's nominee for the head of the DIA hasn't been confirmed yet....and he intends to find out how he intends to deal with this BEFORE there is a vote on his confirmation...

Is that person named in this calendar? See Nos. 252, 309 & 310. Which one heads DIA? Wolfowitz replacement? That would be Gordon England, of Texas.

Dang. Another research project.

Perhaps someone should post that new info in a new thread under Breaking news, if they haven't already.
I would do so, but missed Weldon. Wouldn't do it justice.

Please tell me you CAN'T believe that! If there was no foreknowledge about terrorism and the dire straits we were in, Gore would've been president!

I haven't figured it out yet...and I heard him say it...it wasn't a joke, IMHO..

And, we all know that if Hannity REALLY wanted Freeh as a guest on either his radio show or TV show, he would have been on by now...

Confuses me...but, so much does nowdays..

"It's the result of the corrupt, incompetent and traitorous Clinton Administration and it needs to be exposed. People need to be tried and prosecuted."


AMEN!!

Well, we have people in the Pentagon who have a vested interest in covering mistakes. Who knows the cause of this? Maybe some general who was aware that the higher-ups didn't want to hear anything that might cause discomfort to his professional or political superiors. People make rank in the military as much for political skills as for professional ones.
