May 21, 2002 -- THE Democrats, with Hillary in the lead, have blown it big time in their recent outraged flurry of questions about what President Bush knew and when he knew it. A close examination of the memos Condoleezza Rice discussed last week yields a clear, if unsettling answer: not a whole lot.

[SerpentDove]

Another one of Hitlery's famous over-reaches, which typically backfire "big time". Among others:

* Not settling with Paula Jones sooner.
* Using the phrase "Vast Right-wing Conspiracy"
* Firing the staff of the White House Travel Office
* Using the phrase "FJB"
* Kissing Sudah Arafat
* Heading up the Healthcare Task Force

etc.,etc.

O'Rielly called her a socialist on Leno last night :)

[KC_Conspirator]

"Thank you sir, may I have another"

[america-rules]

Now she's hugging national security as her priority !

[america-rules]

She has also admitted she really has gonads !

[Shermy]

Anyone got pics of her making faces during Bush's speech to Congress back in September?

[kellynla]

Isn't it ironic that the Post was the paper with the headline "BUSH KNEW"...guess they are trying to hand the Bush administration an olive branch...well as long as Dick Morris is around I think Hitlery will have a very difficult time running for POUS in '08...of course she still has to run for the Senate in '06...might be interesting...don't think she will get a pass next time but you New Yawkers could prove me wrong...

In the aftermath of the Olympic bombing of 1996 and the downing of TWA Flight 800 that spring, the Clinton administration was alive with a flurry of proposals to increase airport safety. In polling in July of 1996, we examined four specific proposals to heighten air safety

The *downing* of Flight 800? Am I missing something here? I thought the official word was that this was an accident? How would increased security measures obstruct an accident from happening?

While her over-reaches aren't very popular on this forum, I can't see where they've cost her "big-time" yet... The sheeple in NY just elected her Senator, for cryin' out load...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Bill Clinton couldn't carry her jockstrap.

[america-rules]

She'll always be save in New Yawk because too many Dems have moved in to the city and too many Pubbies moved out from upsstate. Look at the voting records of NY congress members and there are only two that have a voting record over 60% conservative! There's several upstate in the 50's but that's about it !

Hi, Mrs. K- regarding this:

The *downing* of Flight 800? Am I missing something here?

It's suspicious, isn't it? Here's what I have on this:

TWA 800- who speaks for the dead?

[Galtoid]

The most eye-opening and disgusting item in Morris' column isn't about security, Hillary, or Gore. No. It is the simple fact that Bill Clinton was compelled to conduct a stupid POLL(!) in order to decide how to strengthen airport security. No other president has been so addicted to polls. Rush is exactly right about Clinton. Every day, when he entered the Oval Office, the guy stuck his finger into the wind. Then he had Morris come in and give him the overnights on every single serious issue the country faced, for eight years. The man NEVER had an original thought. Never!

[vrwinger]

Stephanopolis has even used the phrase "bombing of TWA Flight 800" and no one has called him on it... Why was the Clinton war room up and running that night? Too many questions...

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Hillary's own husband knew about the threats to use airplanes as missiles. Do a web search for "Operation Bojinka" and see what kinds of stories and information turns up.

--------------------------------------

Today, the military continues its operation against the Abu Sayyaf with the goal of rescuing its latest group of hostages, including two Americans.

Although the Abu Sayyaf demanded the release of international terrorist Ramzi Yousef in exchange for its hostages last year, Filipino authorities dismiss any strong ties to Osama Bin Laden.

'Kidnap-for-ransom'

"We think the Abu Sayyaf is basically a kidnap-for-ransom gang," Presidential Spokesman Rigoberto Tiglao tells CNN.

"They have some tinge of Islamic militancy, but essentially they've become a bandit group."

But Abu Sayyaf members did receive additional training from Ramzi Yousef, who lived in the Philippines from 1994-1995.

A bomb-making expert, Yousef was one of the masterminds behind the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Soon after that, he began to set up a terrorist cell in the Philippines, exporting friends and relatives from the Middle East.

Three plots

A chemical fire in his apartment alerted authorities to his hideout and helped uncover three terrorist plots:

-- an attempt to assassinate the Pope during his 1995 visit to Manila;

-- a conspiracy to bomb US airliners in Asia called Operation Bojinka ("loud explosion");

-- and a plan to recruit pilots to hijack US jetliners in the continental United States and slam the planes into government and commercial buildings.

Philippine authorities turned their evidence over to the U.S. government, providing evidence which led to the NY conviction of Yousef and his cohorts for "Operation Bojinka."

While in the Philippines, Yousef traveled to the Abu Sayyaf base in Basilan and trained about 20 members in 1994.

A year later, he gathered about 20 men in Matabungkay, near the capital, Manila, and trained them allegedly to help assassinate the Pope.

Morris locked on this because Georgie Steph's statement he made about the shoot down on flight 800. Georgie slipped after he left the clinton admin and Morris has been using this as his proof that it was a shootdown. He's explained this in detail on Hannity's radio show !

You beat me to it :)

The *downing* of Flight 800? Am I missing something here?

I think flight 800 was Lockerbie, Scotland, (Lybian Terrorist Bombers) adn flight 103 was the 'accident' over Long Island Sound.

[america-rules]

On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747 bound for Paris, exploded shortly after takeoff from New York's Long Island, killing all 230 people on board. ...
