Can you detail or post what Fleischer said today at the briefing? Thanks.

bump for the rest

The transcript of knawing obsessive attack on Fleischer is posted at the WhiteHouse (It is too large to post as a response here and would take a separate thread.)

No one mentions the obvious. The world and the press were notified in 1995 about Project Bojinka and the desire by Al Qaeda to crash airplanes into buildings including the WTC.

In a nutshell the whole POITICAL SPIN today from Republicans like Sen. Lott, the White House and below from Condi Rice ar all the same and goes like this:

RICE: I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile.

All of this reporting about hijacking was about traditional hijacking. You take a plane--people were worried they might blow one up, but they were mostly worried that they might try to take a plane and use it for release of the blind sheik or some of their own people.

False!
