The condo where the meeting took place was a weekend getaway owned by Yazid Sufaat, a U.S.-educated microbiologist who had become a radical Islamist and bin Laden follower.

I'm surprised no one else noted this. The anthrax attacks were organized by Al Qaeda and carried out by other "Dumb and Dumbers" here in the USA. Those DnD's overestimated the effectiveness of the mailings, hence the "you die now" boasting.

"Clinton's idea of terrorist were right-wing groups"

So right...do you remember Hillary's creation of the VRWC which included her masterpiece of pages of pure lunacy when she listed the names of certain publications, pundits, et al., which she alleged were all involved in trying to bring down her presidency.

I suppose too, that impeached Bill Clinton considered IC Ken Starr primary on their list. He also blamed Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City bombing. God knows what Reno and Clinton thought of the people at the Waco compound.

And, we know that little six year old Elian Gonzalez was a major threat as well to the Clinton's as judged by the manner in which he was hustled away from his loving family in Miami.

I AM APALLED and ASHAMED of our CIA, NSA, FBI. You would think that they would of tightened up and straightened up after the botched Iran Uprising in the late 1970's. No, they only got worse.


It seems that the only agency that got powerful and was able to best use their resources was the IRS.

I would also agree to your suspicions about Hillary. She is up to no good, and has only her own interests at heart. No one should ever trust that woman with this country's welfare.

But the part about Barbara Olsen can't be true. I remember right after 9-11 it came out that Barbara was supposed to be on a flight the night before 9-11, but she changed her mind at the last minute to stay home for breakfast with her husband on his birthday. It was a last minute decision that she made. As much as I mistrust the dragonlady (chillary), this part doesn't fit.

Monday morning quarterbacking - for sure. I bet you I can tell you the final score of yesterday's Yankee/Boston game.

(Has anybody ever investigated whose idea it was - who whispered the suggestion - to Bill Mahrer to invite her for that particular day? Also, even if it was not a suggestion by one of Hillary's friends for that invitation to go out asa it did - Barbara Olson's itinerary would have been easily known and tracked by Clintonistas inside the assorted gov't agencies).

Get a grip. Ken Olson said on at least two lengthy interviews on FoxNews and LKL, that Barbara had changed her flight, at the last minute, so she could be with him on his birthday.

Maybe you were kidding. Apologies, if so.

I didn't see that you were thinking along the same lines 30 minutes before I finally got my comment posted. I agree with you, but I don't think it was to have breakfast with him, as she left a note on his/her pillow, no?

Maybe it is time to let Michael Rivero post again. He might be able to fill us in on what really went down.

Maybe we should also consider the possibility that the hijacked aircraft were flown into the buildings by remote control.

IMO, public disclosure of Government mistakes are not made without an agenda.

I heard on the radio news this past Friday that all Clinton holdovers in the Pentagon were being dismissed immediately. Too little too late?

No I am not. I doubt it as well.

It appeared to me that Michael was banned for suggesting some of the things that are now turning out to be true.

He may not always be right, but his posts are thought provoking and promote great discussions.

When the FBI ended up on the hot plate and FBI Director Mueller announced the major changes to this organization (and these changes largely came about because a couple of mid-level agents went to the media with the truth), I wondered how long it would be before the CIA entered the scene with descriptions of their own bungling. Bush needs to clean house; he needs to fire (or at least move into non-jobs) every government employee who was promoted to executive-level rank during the last 4 - 5 years of the Clinton regime. In my opinion the only people who would have been promoted to senior grade during that era were people who sang the Clinton "Horst Wessel" and openly supported Clinton's corrupt policies.

Thanks for the clarification. By the Way, the following comment by you is pithy and rather thought provoking.

What the ****? I've not heard a whisper of this! If true, you'd think a conservative publication or two would have reported it!

Anyone hear this????

I'd welcome confirmation or clarification on the matter. I most certainly heard it and haven't heard another word.

explained Hillary Clinton's behavior during President Bush's speech to Congress.

Actually, I could have sworn by partial lip reading, she mentioned to someone standing beside her, 'I just wish something like this would have happened when Bill was President'. This was obviously after seeing the country united behind Bush and obviously seeing how Presidential it made Bush look. Political scum are just that, political scum. They want only that which benifits them. The male Clinton spent all his time wondering who was going to polish his knob. National security was performed in the back seat of the Presidential Limo.

Glad to hear you think so. That is what I intended.

I kinda expected it to provoke some people into jumping to some conclusions. Must have been too obvious.
