Yes, you can hear it in their voices. And they're just salivating. They're going to make this into a story no matter what. They're desparate to pin this on the WH.

They will never give up. Every issue is reported in a manner so as to damage Bush. And they conveniently ignore any connection to the impeached one. They're just disgusting.

But a growing proportion of the public is on to them now. Witness: the ongoing exodus of readers/viewers from the mass media to other venues.

I pray that the media whores reap the full measure of what they have sown

They are using the same pages from the Demo playbook--remember the big deal about the Shadow Government...and how it fizzled. This is more of the same, substituting airplane hijacking for shadow government.

Well, the Demos (Daschle) didn't know about the "Shadow government" bunkers until they were reminded that they visited said bunkers just a couple of months earlier.

They just can't get any traction with their lies.

While the Dems cry about Reps trying to profit politically from 9-11 they're pinning 9-11 on Bush to use it politically. When they themselves are just as guilty for "doing nothing". They are such hypocrites.

Carl Camron fox news now saying about 5 countries warned the USA of possible hijackings but Intel too General !

They also ignore the fact that the definition of "hijack" changed on 9-11.

Steven Emerson saying that the FBI is in for some serious revamping in light of this. They are even more culpable than the CIA here, he says.

If Condi doesn't put out this fire,Terry Moran of ABC will be intimating that Bush helped the hijackers buy the box cutters on his report tonight.His questions to Ari today were jaw dropping-surpassing even his usual biased and twisted questions.The angle the media is going for, is that on Bush's "lengthy vacation", he was too busy lounging by the pool, to keep our country safe.

Bush-Hijackings Quotes

The Associated Press
Published: May 16, 2002

Quotes on the White House disclosure that it was warned before Sept. 11 of possible hijackings:

"The president did not - not - receive information about the use of airplanes as missiles by suicide bombers. This was a new type of attack that was not foreseen." - White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. ---

"Clearly, there is a lot more to be learned before we can come to any final conclusion about all of the facts, but it clearly raises some very important questions. ... Why did it take eight months for us to receive this information? And secondly, what specific actions were taken by the White House in response?" - Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D. ---

"Was there a failure of intelligence? Did the right officials not act on the intelligence in the proper way? These are things we need to find out." - House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo. ---

"I would say we didn't have anything specific in the Treasury." - Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, asked if he had knowledge of possible hijackings before Sept. 11. ---

"There is now no choice but to do a thorough review of the agencies of the U.S. government, including the White House, and what was known and how the nation responded." - Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., member of Foreign Relations Committee. ---

"I think it should have been acted on, but it wasn't." - Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. ---

"Most people thought we didn't have a clue. Now it appears we had a clue. We obviously didn't do enough with it." - Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., who also cautioned against being too critical before finding out what information existed in August.

Someone last night suggested this:

Why did Louis Freeh leave just a few weeks before 9-11 happened? Why is this guy getting a pass.

Dear GOD! How I wish I worked for the RNC!

I'd be having a field day with this (and would subsequently have to get 24-hour protection).

Wasn't his sister involved in the Julie Hiatt Steele situation in some way? I vaguely remember some lawyer representing one of the pro Clinton women, as being his sister.

I certainly enjoyed the title and comments made in this article.

I think there is only one operable word that will work in this situation:

TREASON

This is what I have been saying all along. I believe they were not only briefed on that date, but were also briefed on a continual basis during the infamous Xlintoon regime. Although not provable, available evidence suggests that the 9/11 attack was planned a year earlier (a captured Al-Queida member in India said as much).

Considering the considerable discussion prior to the 2000 election about the DNC/Klintoon gang wanting to declare martial law, disarm citizens, and declare the elections suspended "for the duration of the emergency", this seems to fit right in. They wanted this.

I have nothing but disgust for these slime.

Keep the Faith for Freedom!

OK.........

So far we've learned.......

bush (gop) was briefed before-hand....

house (dnc) were breifed before-hand.....

So, I guess both sides saw the threat, did nothing

and took the opportunity to expand the power of government.
