Will ABC Cave on "The Path to 9/11" (Clinton pressuring ABC)
NRO ^ | Andy McCarthy

Posted on 09/01/2006 9:24:55 AM PDT by hipaatwo

I’m hearing all kinds of disturbing, though predictable, stories about a Clintonista offensive against “The Path to 9/11,” an ABC documentary written and produced by Cyrus Nowrasteh ("Into the West"), and directed by David Cunningham ("To End All Wars").  I haven’t seen it yet (although I hope to this weekend), but it is already drawing rave reviews from people who have (the piece is reviewed at FrontPage, here).

  

Apparently, the documentary recounts the bureaucratic bungling and lack of action against al Qaeda that was pervasive prior to the September 11 atrocities.  It is by no means, I understand, pro-Bush.  It is, instead, an effort to present history accurately.  This evidently has many former Clinton officials and apologists in their default kill-the-messenger mode.  Great pressure is being brought to bear on ABC and Disney to reopen the editorial process at this late stage (the documentary is supposed to air on September 10-11) so that the years 1993-2001 may remain forever airbrushed.

  

Will they succeed?  This bears watching.

So are the lefties. They've had an email campaign going for a few days now to not show this.

If it follows the 9/11 Commission Report, it should be interesting to see...but I somehow doubt it will.

Wow, this would undo their carefully crafted coverup via the 9/11 Commission ... of course they won't let it air as is.

The beginning of Sept 11, 2001 attack:

Here's what Osama bin Laden said about Clinton's decision to "change direction" in Somalia (after following Murtha's advice), according to the Frontline documentary, "Hunting bin Laden":

"After leaving Afghanistan, the Muslim fighters headed for Somalia and prepared for a long battle, thinking that the Americans were like the Russians," bin Laden said. "The youth were surprised at the low morale of the American soldiers and realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat. And America forgot all the hoopla and media propaganda ... about being the world leader and the leader of the New World Order, and after a few blows they forgot about this title and left, dragging their corpses and their shameful defeat."

As directly quoted from the actual Fatwa by Osama bin Laden in 1996:
From bin Laden's Fatwa:

"...But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia; where- after vigorous propaganda about the power of the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world order- you moved tens of thousands of international force, including twenty eight thousands American solders into Somalia. However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge , but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal. You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the "heart" of every Muslim and a remedy to the "chests" of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu."


BIN LADEN'S FATWA, or Declaration of War, by Osama bin Laden was first published in Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based newspaper, in August, 1996.

You know, when you hear lefties, they always say that the outgoing clinton administration warned the incoming Bush administration about Bin Laden. Other than clintonistas comments, we really have no evidence that assertion is true. Yet we continue to hear it.

But the follow-up question that is never asked of the clintonistas is, "What were your plans for handling Bin Laden, that you had implemented, given your claimed worries about the dangerous terrorist?"

Unfortunately, the 911 Commission had Jamie Gore-lick on it and even THIS document was a full version of the perfidy of the Klintoons.

I just heard Rush talking about this. From his description of the series, it deals some pretty devastating blows to the First Felon and his Felonettes. Rush also said that Clinton was going to call Disney Prez Bob Iger and ask him to re-edit the series to 'sanitize' it of any truth about the Clintonistas.

We'll find out if Iger is a man of character and courage . . . . or just another Clinton boot licker.

My money's on the boot licker.
