Louisn Freeh Raises Questions on Clinton, Sestak Iran Policy (Khobar Towers)

In an op-ed appearing in today’s Wall Street Journal, former FBI Director Louis J. Freeh blasted the White House and National Security Council policy toward Iran during Joseph Sestak’s tenure as Director of Defense Policy. On Sestak’s watch, efforts to bring those responsible for the Khobar Towers bombing that killed nineteen U.S. military personnel ten years ago this Sunday, were hampered by the National Security Council, where Sestak “was responsible for national security and defense strategy, policies, programs, interagency and congressional coordination and regional political/military advice.”

According to Freeh, despite admission by the bombers that they were trained by the Iranian security service and evidence that the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security had specifically selected Khobar as the target, it was clear that the Administration “had no interest in confronting the fact that Iran had blown up the Towers.” Leading the effort to undermine the FBI from proving that Iran was responsible for the bombing was Sandy Berger, a major fundraiser for Joe Sestak’s campaign who oversaw Sestak’s work as Director of Defense Policy as head of the National Security Council.

When Freeh finally secured direct evidence of Iran’s involvement, Berger’s response was “Who knows about this?” and then he became “alarmed about the case.” According to Freeh, “this interest translated to nothing more than Washington damage control meetings held out of fear that Congress and ordinary Americans would find out that Iran murdered our soldiers.”

“On Joe Seatak’s watch, the National Security Council was engaged in a blind policy of rapprochement with Iran,” said Michael Puppio, campaign spokesperson for Congressman Curt Weldon. “Despite evidence that Iran was responsible for the deaths of nineteen American soldiers, the National Security Council was involved in an effort to ensure that Congress and the American people did not learn who was truly responsible for the bombing. Only ten years later, has the truth finally come out.”

There should be no surprise. Duke Cunningham went to jail for a far less dollar amount than the Clintons pulled off. We got one of the Clintons a sitting leaking Senator and the other one vaulted as the modern god of sex.

Does anyone in the liberal media really care what Sandy Burglar destroyed or who it was that sent him to destroy it?

Oh, come on! Anyone with half a brain knows that Bill Clinton and his entire Democrat Party was directly responsible for 911 ocurring. The paper and factual trail are there for all to see!!! Shame so many dummies just don't get it. I can assure you, at some point they will, and they won't like the result of their slain loved ones. Idiots!!!

Someday the right thing will be done and the Clintons and their like will truly go to jail. This can't come soon enough. They are traitors to our country and the American people. They are crooks and amorals without souls. There is so much stuff out there on them; it's a wonder each one has not been sentenced to 100 years of hard labor.

Berger purloined all draft revisions of a key critique of the government's response
to the millennium terrorism threat, a document that detailed Administration knowledge
– and inaction – regarding al Qaeda presence in the U.S. in 1999
and 2000. Stolen were crucial notes in the margins of these drafts
which reveal the thinking and agendas of the
Clinton Administration relating to the mounting terrorist threat.

Berger was not qualified as NSA.
He was a millionaire lawyer and lobbyist with a career centered on expanding trade with China.

Dick Morris noted Berger “seemed to work overtime
at opposing tough measures against terror”,
advising vetoes of legislation aimed at crippling Iranian terror funding
and working to block antiterror sanctions.

Berger stonewalled the Energy Department about Chinese spying in Los Alamos for three years.

Note that Richard Clarke in his book "Against all Enemies", and in "The Age of Sacred Terror" by Clinton NSC types Daniel Benjamin and Steve Simon, not a single mention is made of Sestak. Interesting how unkknown individuals were given such great power.

“Despite evidence that Iran was responsible for the deaths of nineteen American soldiers, the National Security Council was involved in an effort to ensure that Congress and the American people did not learn who was truly responsible for the bombing. Only ten years later, has the truth finally come out.”

This comes as no surprise. In fact I am surprised that the truth has actually come out.

The Clinton administration were nothing but a bunch of frat brats partying for 8 years.

Unfortunately, in dubyas haste to appear the good guy he allowed many Clinton people to stay and form a shadow government that is out to destroy dubya and could care less what harm they cause the country.

In his website announcing his run for Congress in the PA 7th District Sestak hasn't to cojones to mention that he is running as a Democrat. Why do so many Democrats like Sestak try to hide their political affiliation? (Yes, I know the answer.) His political platform seems to be, the "tagic misadventure in Iraq."
