Glaring omission in the TV show. We started from scratch, and built a national policy on Afghanistan up from nothing, all the studies, all the players, all the NSC deputies. Clinton left us nothing there, not even a paper clip in country. Everything was run from the Islamabad station.

The policy was ready for Bush to look at September 10.

We were going to arm Masood to the teeth.

Massoud was incredible. Just a great man, not afraid in anyway. We have too many men in this country who lack the courage of a Massoud. Here was someone we could have worked with and maybe avoided 9-11 but people in the government preferred to help the Taliban (OBL) because it was just easier to throw money there way. This movie did a wonderful showing the villians and heroes. Barbara Bodine is a Sh... That woman has blood on her hands.
