Yes, this information could have been leaked by none other than Gary Condidit himself as some sort of payback - to whom or for what, that would be the question.

The nightly news is going to have to go to nude broadcasters to draw their audience back before too long.

In the case of ABCCBSNBCMSNBC etc. (Brokaw, Jennings, Blather, Koookie, etc.) -- this ain't gonna help 'em much.

IT IS UP TO BUSH TO ACTUALLY HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE HIMSELF AND USE THE "BULLY PULPIT" OF THE PRESIDENCY IN MAKING SURE THEIR HYPOCRISY IS EXPOSED. BUT WILL HE???? HELLO, BUSH. WE'RE WAITING....

Bin Laden was allowed to terrorize American targets throughout the Clinton years with no retaliatory response to speak of...what were the RATS told that most folks didn't already know?

They were too busy voting for deep cuts in our military and intelligence and then telling the American people that everything was alright. You can bet your a$$ that every single one of these democrats were given the same information and shrugged it off.

"They were too busy voting for deep cuts in our military and intelligence and then telling the American people that everything was alright."

Yep...and at the same time Clinton was depleting our weapons cache in an ill-advised sojourn into the Kosovar Civil War. Almost as if the RATS wanted to see American military superiority made null and void.

"You can bet your a$$ that every single one of these democrats were given the same information and shrugged it off."

It's sooo transparent, and has the potential for making the RATS look really bad. Admittedly, I've become increasingly PO'd at Dubyuh for his willingness to bow to the demands of the RATS and enacting much of the Left's Agenda lately. Perhaps this sort of hateful innuendo will slap some reality into the Bush Administration. The DemonRATS can't be negotiated with any more than Arafat...they must be beaten, pummeled, and destroyed!! Right's gotta start fighting for what we know is Right...screw bipartisanship, consensus building, and this Compassionate Conservatism krap, it's time to take off the gloves!!

Well, Cheney and Condi Rice took off the gloves today. Now it's time for Dubyuh to call a press conference to "explain" what he knew before 9/11 and use the forum to lambast the RATS and call them Liars, Cowards, and the Enemies of Our Republic. And anybody that helps them in their efforts to inflame the people (i.e. the Lamestream media) are also the enemy and will be treated as such.

And why wouldn't they? They'd shrugged it off for the previous 8 years.

Bush, in meeting with Senate Republicans, delivered the message "that national security is a vital bipartisan issue and he certainly hopes the Democrats aren't playing politics with it."

Exactly...the Left is desperate these days and despite gaining much ground legislatively, I can foresee a potential blowout in November if Dubyuh quits drifting Leftward. I expect the RATS--and their willing accomplices in the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd--to be pulling a lot of this krap over the next six months, but it may just be enough to inflame the passions of GOPers who've felt betrayed by Dubyuh's Milquetoast Moderation lately.

Yep...Clinton couldda nailed Osama bin Laden years ago but chose not to get involved in the controversy. Who ever said "Character Doesn't Matter"?!

I don't know. If there had been such communication, I haven't heard about it. This however, is strictly due to the gov't secrecy, and the lack of the liberal media to report facts correctly (They would much hang this whole mess on GWB's admin, and point out how the x42 would have handled it), They, conveniently of course, leave out the martial law, the massive firearms confiscation, and the (I'm almost sure of this) an attempted Coup d'etat by the Klintonistas and the DNC. All the EO's and the bizarre behavior of the executive branch during the latter part of the X42 regime, lead one to belive that it was the Hildebeest who wa actually running things (she did order Waco and the Elian Raid), and the overt attempt to overturn the 2A by "spontaneous uprisings" (Brady rhetoric, VPC screaming, THe Schumer/Kennedy/Boxer/Feinswine/ Liberal/Socialist/Progressive caucus (Communism, under a new name) axis, along with the attitude concerning firearms is scary. What other reason could they have for their obsession with disarming citizens, if not in preparation for suspension of elections and government by fiat.

IMHO, the former regime (I refuse to call it an administration) was just too hung up on socialism and the start of a totalitarian regime. Even that bizarre speech at Andrews on Inauguration day was scary. Never once did he mention being out of power.

James Woods was 100% right. These terrorists had been carrying out recon missions for an unknown length of time prior to 9/11. The FBI ignored warnings of the "Middle Eastern Men". PC was the order of the day, and frankly still is. IMHO....revoke visas, deport the whole lot of 'em, even citizens, because it is a basic tenet of the Moslem Religion to destroy the infidel, and fortunately, even with 1A protection, there is still the clear and present danger exception. Toss 'em ALL out. If we have to stick them in containers and load them on a container ship, so be it. This is not the time to try to figure out who is "good" and "bad". The basic tenets of Islam call for this.

If this doesn't get their attention, then, remove the religion by destroying the center. Green glass is NOT a shrine, and by extrapolation, would send the whole bunch into shock or uproar. If, at that point, someone here grows both a spine and cojones and realizes that enhanced radiation devices will neatly remove the organic enemy, while saving the oil and infrastructure, we could be in a very good position.

I am not a supporter of an empire, nor of what some would call genocide. I am a realist,and realize we are dealing with a group who considers suicide as a good and redeeming weapon. We have already faced such an enemy before, in a war which ended 57 years ago. 2 rather primitive nukes drove the Japanese to surrender, where if, we had performed a conventional invasion, the casualties would have been staggering, on both sides, and the war probably could have gone on into the early '50s. To me, its a fair tradeoff. I do not subscribe to the seemingly pervasive fear of nukes that permeates government and the citizenry. Yes there are unpleasant side effects, and possibly disastrous climatic problems, depending on the number and yield of the weps involved, but there is going to some a time when we are going to have to make some serious decisions about deploying these weapons. Fanatics such as these terrorists do not understand negotiation, nor a standoff such as the MAD policy practiced with the former Soviets. They consider negotiations as a sign of weakness, and unless we show our intent to reduce both their religious base, and a great deal of citizens of those countries into glowing green glass and shadows burned onto the concrete, we are not going to put a stop to this. Oil? well, with the careful use of enhanced radiation weapons, we can have all the oil we want, and more. I have no compunction against doing this. IMHI this has been a long time coming, and has been supported by every left wing @$$hoL3 in just about every college and university campus in America. They want to hold peace demonstrations, OK that's their right, but who cares. To quote what has become a hackneyed expression, "We didnt start this war, but By God, we know how to finish it", this explains my position 100%

Keep the Faith for Freedom

Elsewhere in this thread we establish that James Woods did not go to the FBI until after 9/11 (he did notify the flight crew that day). An article from this year that I found did state that some reports erroneously indicated that Woods talked to the FBI prior to 9/11.

That said, "I am a realist,and realize we are dealing with a group who considers suicide as a good and redeeming weapon". A couple of weeks ago there were Anti-America/Pro-Palestinian War rallies in DC and SF. The protestors made no bones about it that the Palestinians endorsed suicide bombing and America's looney left supported them with claims that they were "fighting for freedom" and "using the only weaons they have, their bodies".

It's a sick world that we live in but I believe that things will get better (I can't say if they'll get worse before they get better).

Around the world, they take non-muslims hostage and decapitate them on video.

They take what is believed to be one of the 2 most sacred sites in the Christian faith hostage for weeks (claiming sactuary but I haven't heard of any of them converting to Christianity during their stay).

A Jewish leader passed too close to a muslim mosque and they go balistic. There has even been mention of trying to have a shrine made to one of the muslim dead at the Church of the Nativity. No deal; the Christian faith has a commandment against idol worship. No shrines to non-believers.

Both the Germans and the Japanese vowed to fight to the last man. It didn't take that and today they pose us no threat.

Pakistan has already stated a willingness to use nuclear weapons in their current flareup with India. Maybe if that happens, we'll be able to make use of ours.

China and Russia are the biggest mysteries but both nations have had difficulty with muslim extremists.

The muslim citizens have vented their frustrations at the wrong people for far too long. 5 of the world's 10 wealthiest men are in the Muddled East and yet these remain third world nations. Their governments are oppressive. They are denied wealth and knowledge. Foreign humanitarian aid even fails to reach its target. Are these people too controlled or too stupid to cast off their masters? Must we do it for them?

Do ya think its gotten through the thick skulls of our guy's, Mud?
Do ya really think so?

Seems I recall a *promise* made to the weasel, Das-Hole?
Whereby our new POTUS matter-of-factly told the SOB straight out & in no uncertain terms, "Don't you EVER lie to me; or else."
{~paraphrased; but'cha get the idea...}

Well Mudboy?
If this ain't a Leftist-inspired lie traceable directly back to the hoofs of that Senate harpie?
I simply don't know what is.

I'd say it's just about, *Showtime*; or, put more bluntly?
Put-up or shut-up Mr. President.
This time the Leftist-Socialists & their lapdog media ghouls clearly missed ya; as far as I'm concerned.
But next shot they just might hit their intended target.

...and unless you act, there will be a next shot.
