I wish BushCo would answer these two questions:
1.) You criticize President Clinton for failing to kill bin Laden. You're also highly critical of Clinton for his inaction on the first World Trade Center bombing, the attack of the USS Cole and the East Africa embassy bombings. Since you entered office knowing that Al Queda and bin Laden were behind these attacks--what specific actions, strategies and plans did your administration implement to deter or take out any Al Queda members or bin Laden during the 9 months that you were in office, prior to 9/11?

2.) During her Senate testimony, Condoleeza Rice said that "No one could have imagined them taking a plane, slamming it into the Pentagon...into the World Trade Center, using planes as a missile."
In other words, you were blindsided. You had the same knowledge that President Clinton had (as well as an August 2001 PDB titled: "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the United States"). How can President Clinton be blamed for failing to do more to prevent 9/11---when this was a terrorist attack that--your administration has admitted--you never once anticipated or knew would happen?

I'd really like BushCo to answer these questions--preferably at their next press briefing.

1. typical republican
Any scrutiny and their arguments fall apart. Unfortunately, they've taken care of this problem by making sure no one ever asks any questions and if they do, almost no one hears about it. Then smear the person asking the question til most people think they are lower than Hitler.

They can't answer these questions. All they can do is distort until people don't know what the truth is.

2. This is the season when all the
summer fads and fashions go on sale. I expect to see a real run on the flip flops up until the election. The current BushCo spin is a total flip flop, except for one thing--at the beginning they were blameless, because after all, "Who knew." Now they are blameless because when it gets right down to it, it's Big Dog's fault.

I'm waiting for the Chimp to stand in front of a microphone and tell us all that it wasn't his idea to say "bring it on" -- he found that phrase in one of the old Clinton play books that was lying around the WH just after Chimpy and Pickles moved in. And for some reason, he thought it had a unifying and inspiring tone to it.

3. I have only one question
In detail, without misdirection, explain exactly how the secret service new on 9-11 that the predident was safe to leave sitting for many minutes at Booker T Elementary after the second plane struck, only a few miles from an airport, when you claim that you had no idea how many planes had been hijacked and at least two were still flying unchallenged. can you explain this?

4. Maybe it will be in the "revised" ABC fiction/propaganda.
Silly me. What was I thinking? Oh, that's right... like you, I was thinking, but mine was cynically wishful.

If I may be indulged in that mode a bit further, I wonder if any stars of ABC/Disney projects would consider walking off their jobs until or unless ABC/Disney stick to the facts in the upcoming retelling of history. Even stockholders (Hello Steve Jobs) or board members (Hello George Mitchell.)

OK. I'm not being cynical. I'm dreaming.
