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.

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...

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.

Read here at this article

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

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.

Dick Morris knows his stuff. I don't care for him as a person, but when he talks politics, I listen carefully.

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.

Doesn't matter. The sheeple still worship her like a god.

I suggest that Clinton did an awful lot to strengthen national security and everyone here knows it!

When Clinton left office, that simple act of vacating the office he descecrated for 8 years increased national security immensely.

If these idiot dems want to have hearings into the intel failures leading to 9/11 they best be prepared to find that Clinton and their own actions of cutting and undermining intel gathering will be reason #1.

And can ANY liberal tell me that there wouldn't have been a MAJOR ACLU/lib uproar over 'racial' profiling that action on a definitive pre 9/11 warning would've deemed necessary. Just think if Bush or Ashcroft on 8/7/01 said we will have to scrutinize all middle-eastern passengers/crew/maintenance personnel because of an Al Queda threat. All liberal hell would've broke out!

"Gore labored and brought forth a mouse. His recommendations didn't include any of the steps outlined above; it amounted to little more than an informational exchange of airport-safety procedures and a call for stepped-up vigilance. Indeed, very few of his suggestions had anything at all to do with the menace of terrorism or with preventing the hijacking of American planes".

I can't wait to forward this article to a number of 'Horrible Lefties' that I know.( Gore supporters,you know the type-"Al Gore has never done anything wrong")

Not only did Gore not do anything with the report that suggested the safeguards that should be implemented, but the fact is, he took campaign contributions in their place from the airlines who didn't want to make the changes because it would have cost them money....more than the contributions.

You don't hear the media or the esteemed Senators screaming about this in the well of the Senate now do you?Nope, instead to this day all we hear is, "what did President Bush know and when did he know it?"
