Have I Missed Something?!? Has Anyone Actually Asked Condi...
WTF they actually DID to prevent a terror attack prior to Sept. 11.2001? I watched her on 60 Minutes and kept waiting for Ed to ASK that question. Her "we were at battle stations", "the president was briefed daily " are just WORDS. Why is no one asking What this Administration actually did? All anyone needs to do is go back and get the transcripts of rummy, chimpy*, cheney, condi-liar and the rest before Sept. 11 and see how many times terrorism is even mentioned. It is a pretty simple task to show that they did not have a plan for a terrorist attack and even with ALL of the growing warnings nothing changed as Mr. Clarke has so eloquently pointed out.
I wish SOMEONE would ask Ms. Liar that question.... :grr:

1. So many questiions left unanswered
1) Why did Bush give money to the Taliban regime?
2) Why did we need to destabilize what she refered to as "the most unstable regime in a very unstable area" when it had nothing to do with terrorism?
3) Why did Bush pull the submarines around Afghanistan prior to 9/11 that were there as a quick strike if anything happened?
4) What other instances occurred giving precedence where a national security advisor did not testify?
5) Is PRESEDENCE more important than the people's right to know?

2. Answer ti #5: "9/11 changed everything..."
They've used it for everything from tax cuts to invasions to electioneering. Now it's our turn to nail them to the wall on this mantra.

4. They told Ashcroft to fly in private planes...
then they let the public be fodder for the terrorists.

I'm still convinced they let it happen so they could justify military action. Unfortunately for the victims, the hijacking was a little more deadly than they envisioned. In fact, it ended up being more deadly than bin laden expected!

5. Asking questions like that of Imperial Stooges is off-limits
Not like we live in a Free Country ruled by people who respect or even like the Serfs they rule and steal from.

9. that is the reality tom...
I know that is the reality of our situation in amerika today as I typed this thread. Yet it still just confounds me that an elemental question like the one I posed can't or won't be asked.
It sucks... :grr:

7. Kerry asked that very question yesterday with his Bible quote.
I think we're on this thing like corruption on a Republican.
