Barbra who?

[freekitty]

BS as usual is full of bs. I swear this woman doesn't even begin to think much less think things through. She just hits the floor running.

[CasearianDaoist]

Uh Oh! Looks like we're in trouble now. They have pulled out the big guns.

[Old Grumpy]

Oh no! The beast with the big schnoz is talking again!

[TomGuy]

former counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke has bravely spoken out

Yeh, Babs, but I guess you missed the part of his sworn testimony where he had the CTU on alert for 6 weeks in the summer of 2001. After 6 weeks, nothing happened and HE, not GW, not Condi, HE took his team OFF alert status.

So, if their is any blame, from HIS own words, Babszie, it is your hero, Clarke, for not keeping HIS CTU on alert for an additional 2 weeks or so. Then HE, single-handed, could have prevented the 9-11 attacks.

After all, Babs, Clarke, in his own words, single-handedly saved us from the vicious millenium attacks.

the last picture i saw of babs (it think it was at the golden globes) it appears that she is harboring terrorists underneath her skirt. it is either that or she as a butt the size of nebraska

[dougherty]

Once again, Babs has managed to make a fool of herself.

"A Bush State Department Official reportedly told CNN at that time that the U.S. government under Clinton had made a mistake in focusing so much energy on bin Laden."

I must have missed the name of this anonymous employee. There are just too many lies in here to address. Heck, it was Rice who was talking about OBL before the presidential election was ever held. Of course, there is a bit a truth in this above statement in as much as the Bush administration was going to focus more on the sponsors (and states) of terrorism than just the terrorists, alone...which is something Clinton couldn't even do.

Streisand - The Myth of a Singer.

Hey Babs (or should I say Flabs) - why don't you ask Al Gore why he allowed himself to be paid off by the airline industry rather than insist that they secure the cockpits, etc.

[Argus]

Since Vieques is closed, Bar-Bar's Malibu beach house would do nicely as a naval gunnery range.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Oy vey! Could someone please shut this yenta's pie-hole?

[dwd1]

A lot of personal attacks on Streisand on this thread...Not helpful...

We need Rice and perhaps Bush to testify under oath in public and that will shut up those who are asking such questions.... Until the answers are presented, this is giving the left a valid attacking point that needs to be taken away...

[SquirrelKing]

Forgot the Barf alert...wait-you included "Streisand". Good enough.

"THE MYTH OF BABS STRIVINGnTHEsand AS WOMAN, HUMAN"

--Standing on the side of Arafart kissers, she's clearly lost any Jewishness she may have acquired by osmosis.

--Brazenly castigating, castrating and otherwise shredding as many real men as she can get her claws close to--verbally, legally and in film--she comes across more as a male competitor than a female anything. Maybe she's a TERMINATOR prototype from another dimension or future era sent back to our era as garbage in need of thorough isolation from more enlightened eras.

--Given her shrillness, dimwittedness, mindless Kommie Kissing-ness . . . she comes off more as a last class shrew than as a human being.

--Given her efforts to shred the Constitution of The Republic, she most clearly must not be anything close to an AMERICAN.

I say . . . send It to a lonely island wherein the only structure is a circular room walled in mirrors and no media, no sound equipment and no audiance.

It's been traitor extraordinaire long enough to the land that gave It so much.

[cyncooper]

Bwahahahahahahahaha

Streisand weighs in just as it becomes crystal clear that Clarke's credibility is in shreds.

I didn't read past her first idiotic paragraph.

What a dolt.

How Gore aborted air safety: How Gore aborted airline security

How Gore aborted air safety

© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com

The country is united politically right now, so I'm sure I'll be accused of divisiveness, partisan sniping, maybe even being unpatriotic by raising this issue.

But, heck, I've been accused of worse. Last week the Wall Street Journal called me a "purveyor of obscenity." I'll let you be the judge of whether that description suits me.

I never let those criticisms bother me – especially not from uptight, corporate media establishment mouthpieces and spoiled, little, ivory-tower reactionaries.

So, today I'm going to tell you how Al Gore may have contributed, in his own politically ambitious, selfish way, to the deaths of some of the victims of the terrorist attacks Sept. 11.

Following the downing of TWA Flight 800 in 1996, Gore was entrusted by President Clinton to investigate airline safety. He was named chairman of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety.

The Gore commission produced what most observers considered to be a tough preliminary report unveiled Sept. 9 of that year – one that included tough counter-terrorism procedures.

But within days, according to an insider on the commission, the airline industry jumped all over Gore. As a result, 10 days later, Gore sent a letter to airline lobbyist Carol Hallett promising that the commission's findings would not result in any loss of revenue.

In what can only be seen as a pure political payoff, the Democratic National Committee received $40,000 from TWA the next day. Within two weeks, Northwest, United and American Airlines ponied up another $55,000 for the 1996 campaign.

But the money trail didn't stop there. In the next two months leading up to the November elections, American Airlines donated $250,000 to the Democrats. United donated $100,000 to the DNC. Northwestern put $53,000 more into the kitty.

Following the election, in January, Gore floated a draft final report that eliminated all security measures from the commission's findings, according to the insider. Two commission members balked, as did CIA Director John Deutch.

Fearing more political heat, Gore pulled back the draft report. A month later, the final report was issued – one that included requirements that would cost the airlines some money, but, perhaps, save some lives in the future.

The report's requirements included:


high-tech bomb detectors; more training for airport security; criminal background checks for security personnel; increased canine patrols. Only one thing was lacking from the report, said the whistleblower – there was no deadline by which those requirements would have to be met. It was open-ended. In other words, it wasn't worth the paper on which it was written.

In a meeting with other commission members Feb. 12, 1997, Gore said he would leave room for a dissent by those who opposed the report. But within minutes, Gore was announcing to the president and the public that the report was the work of a unanimous commission. In other words, he lied – again.

In Washington, that might have been the end of the story. Scandals like this often go unnoticed. But one courageous lady, the dissenting member of the commission, Victoria Cummock, filed suit to gain access to files she was denied and for the right to file her dissent.

Who is Mrs. Cummock? She was appointed to the commission by Clinton because her husband was killed in the terrorist downing of Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland. She's the insider. She's the whistleblower. She's the heroine of this story.

All this was chronicled in a Tony Blankley column a year ago – a year and five days before the latest terrorist attack that killed all passengers and all the crew on four airliners as well as thousands on the ground at the World Trade Center and Pentagon Sept. 11.

Would any of that death and destruction have been prevented had Gore not crawled into bed with the airline industry thinking only in the short term about potential financial losses, not realizing it might be saving itself from much bigger losses in the future?

I guess we'll never know for sure. But remember this story the next time Al Gore rears his opportunistic political head on the national scene.

"I DO BELIEVE THAT EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN THAT TRULY CARES ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, AND LEARNS THE FACTS, ...(blah-blah-blah)... AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN NOVEMBER!"

I do, and I have, and I'm voting for President Bush in November. As usual, your rantings are way off-base. You did manage to spell most of the words correctly, though. Did you finally install spell-check on your computer?

[cyncooper]

OK, I went and skimmed just her timeline. She's going for the crackpot theories, I see.

Point of fact the Bush administration was agressively addressing the threat of terrorism prior to 9/11. Here is an article from June 2001:

This article is a good sign. Usually, when Streisand jumps into the fray with her inane comments, it's usually a signal that momentum will soon shift in our favor...

Keep up the good work Babs!
