G-Man.

We are suppose to believe that a man that was the top anti terrorism official doesn't know what he is talking about, was not at most of the meetings about terrorism and was "out of the loop" and at the same time believe that the fact that the Bush administration downgraded Clarke's position from a cabinet to staff position and left this man "out of the loop" does not mean that the Bush administration did not take terrorism seriously?

Remember? This is the 9/11 Commision that Bush opposed creating. This is the 9/11 commision that was finally created under pressure from 9/11 families. This is the 9/11 commision that Bush appointed military/Industrail stooge Henry Kissinger: king of official mendacity to preside over. This is the 9/11 commision that Bush has been stonewalling for months. This is the 9/11 commision that Bush refused to testify to. This is the 9/11 commision that he later refused to give more than 1 hour to and not under oath nor in front of the full commision. This is the 9/11 commision that Condaleeza Rice didn't appear publicy for. This is the 9/11 commision out to find the TRUTH of what happened that day.

After all that, I highly doubt they'll look favorably on Bush when the final report is released. After all that, is it any wonder the 9/11 families have no kind words for this Administration.

As Reagan said, "facts are stupid things". Learn it, live it. Somehow I think the myth of Bush's re-election commercials took precedent over actually revealing what really happened.

Quote:

He wrote his replacement, Stephen Hadley, a two-page memo. "I said they needed to pay attention to al-Qaida and counterterrorism. I said we were going to be struck again. They never once asked me a question, nor did I see them having a serious discussion about it ... I agree with Dick [Clarke] that they saw those problems through an Iraqi prism. But the evidence, the intelligence, wasn't there." - General Donald Kerrick (NSC: deputy national security adviser under Clinton/Bush Admns.)



It's really not hard to see why Bush opposed this 9/11 commision now, is it?
