9/11 Miniseries is Bunk
Los Angeles Times ^ | 9/08/06 | Barbara Bodine

Posted on 09/11/2006 7:41:28 PM PDT by texas_mrs

ON THE MORNING of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans — and the world — froze, saddened and angry. Five years later, we stop to remember those we lost and those who have sacrificed in our defense since, and to reflect on what we must learn. History will define us not by the events of that day but by who we choose to become as a result.

Regrettably, ABC has chosen not to document but to dramatize this most critical of times. Its miniseries, "The Path to 9/11," opts for fiction when fact is needed and chooses mythmaking when the candor of history is called for. The 9/11 commission report tells the story with clear-eyed honesty, precision and studious impartiality. The ABC drama does not. The 9/11 commission spent hours interviewing virtually everyone connected not just with the events of that day but those involved in counter-terrorism over 25 years — Republican as well as Democrat. ABC did not.

LOL indeed.
Berger and Half-bright were as much to blame as Clinton.
A clown show, with a very political NSA advisor.

Well, I guess it got her attention. Hallelujah!

Would like to drag her sorry butt put before a board of inquiry and asked to explain why this happened on her watch and why she threw a monkey wrench into the works. Like Halfbright, Burglar, and now Bodine we have three people with blood on their hands, not to mention the certifiable liar, Clinton. They ought to have a lot of trouble sleeping when they think of those 3,000 innocent souls who died while they went to sleep at the switch.

[Bodine] In the aftermath of the attack on the Cole, the stakes were high. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's first lesson of leadership is that "being responsible sometimes means pissing people off." It's inevitable, if you are honorable.

Did he also tell you that the second lesson of leadership is to do the right thing by helping your country in its hour of need - by working through cultural difficulties. That was also part of your job description Ms. ambassador.

"State is a typical Gov fiefdom, and it's career diplomat personnel are mostly untouchables because they possess the map to where soooooo many bodies are buried.. Powell was perfectly placed to be Sec of State, where he could undermine everything Bush and Co wanted to do without fear.. Barbara is like-minded as the diplomat corps goes.."

Well said.

"
Looks like the show pretty much followed the series of events leading to 9/11."

Er, that is what they feared!

"The only bad part is he is dragging good people like Albright and Berger down with him."

Wow. Just wow.

These people are another species. I just cannot relate.

This movie seemed fair to me. What is bizarre is that the Dems want to go back to fighting it like the Clintonistas.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

they never left that mode. They are in continuous denial about islam and the severity of the threat. They still think its isolated terrorists and isolated incidents and if you find ben laden you end the threat. These people are sick to the core and need to be sent to gitmo with the rest of the enemy combatants.

"Jamie Gorelick is a Clinton lawyer."

Jamie Gorelick has as much, or more, personal responsibility for 911 than anyone in the US government. She should be spending the rest of her life atoning for the deaths caused by her "Gorelick Wall".

THAT'S who that was?
She's sure quick to defend herself.
Funny how she hopes to accomplish this using her word alone. No proof. No evidence. Nothing.

Good to know that she's got a gig with her fellow comrades in the enemedia. She should feel right at home.

She basically verifies everything in the movie. What a powerhungry piece of garbage. Obviously hated O'Neil and his obsession w/bin Laden! Another BJ incompetent! Wonder how she got her Ambassadorship??

The Clintonistas continue to defend 42's non-existant legacy. They've expended more time attacking a movie than they did in bringing in Bin Laden when Clinton was in office. I agree they think 9/11 is bunk - for them, it never happened.

And Ms. Bodine--how can any intelligent person believe anything a clinton appointment says now? I don't think so and being more concerned about pc was--and still is--part and parcel, and the whole of this worst president's legacy. You're lying again.

Yes, when is Ann Coulter or someone else with a sharp analytical and research ability write a book specifically about Ms. Gorelick?

She was quite an agitator as DOD General Counsel under Klintoon as well.
