Must be some agenda, that is continuing. Ops4
Before the despicable grandstanding by the democrat leadership last week they should have done some more intense background study before almost tripping in their rush to the pressroom microphones to insinuate President Bush stood idly by letting thousands of American citizens die on September 11, particularly Mrs. Clinton who speaks so pompously in her "hallowed chamber" pointing to her home newspaper the New York Times headline as evidence that President Bush knew, perhaps she should read the article I just read to refresh her fading memory.
Instead, the democrat leadership choose to speak with hollowed brains.
Check this out! The date of this article is September 22, 2001. Excerpt is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------
In 1992, hardliner Khadaffy Janjalani splintered and formed the Abu Sayyaf.
His core group fanatically followed Islamic fundamentalism, but when he was killed several years later, his brother took over the leadership of the Abu Sayyaf and mercenaries joined the group, watering down its Islamic goals.
Today, the military continues its operation against the Abu Sayyaf with the goal of rescuing its latest group of hostages, including two Americans.
Although the Abu Sayyaf demanded the release of international terrorist Ramzi Yousef in exchange for its hostages last year, Filipino authorities dismiss any strong ties to Osama Bin Laden.
'Kidnap-for-ransom'
"We think the Abu Sayyaf is basically a kidnap-for-ransom gang," Presidential Spokesman Rigoberto Tiglao tells CNN.
"They have some tinge of Islamic militancy, but essentially they've become a bandit group."
But Abu Sayyaf members did receive additional training from Ramzi Yousef, who lived in the Philippines from 1994-1995.
A bomb-making expert, Yousef was one of the masterminds behind the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
Soon after that, he began to set up a terrorist cell in the Philippines, exporting friends and relatives from the Middle East.
Three plots
A chemical fire in his apartment alerted authorities to his hideout and helped uncover three terrorist plots:
-- an attempt to assassinate the Pope during his 1995 visit to Manila;
-- a conspiracy to bomb US airliners in Asia called Operation Bojinka ("loud explosion");
-- and a plan to recruit pilots to hijack US jetliners in the continental United States and slam the planes into government and commercial buildings.
Philippine authorities turned their evidence over to the U.S. government, providing evidence which led to the NY conviction of Yousef and his cohorts for "Operation Bojinka."
While in the Philippines, Yousef traveled to the Abu Sayyaf base in Basilan and trained about 20 members in 1994.
A year later, he gathered about 20 men in Matabungkay, near the capital, Manila, and trained them allegedly to help assassinate the Pope.
She was too stupid to make sure that Bush had all the nfo.
She never read Clancys book.
Couldnt remember that small plane that crashed into the White House.
Didnt order all government agencies to present all nfo on terrorism plans.
Never heard of WTC I.
Where is the Phillipines.
Who are Yousef and Murad
I hope the families of the victims sue Condi personally for mega-bucks.
Finally...a Legacy!
Because they Suck. However, had you been following my posts last week, you would have seen this info immediately ; )
Clinton was far too busy with "Operation Boinka" to worry about "Operation Bojinka."
