Extract
First, the Bush administration's former counterterrorism chief, Richard
A. Clarke, told the commission investigating the 9/11 terrorist attacks
that only a week before the attacks he had sent Rice a powerful and
prophetic letter warning of the danger that hundreds of Americans could
die in a terrorist strike.
"You urge policymakers to imagine a day after hundreds of Americans lay
dead at home and abroad after a terrorist attack and ask themselves what
else they could have done. You write this, seven days before 9/11?"
former Democratic Rep. Tim Roemer asked Clarke in a nationally televised
open session of the commission.
Clarke tersely confirmed he had sent the letter with a single word, "Yes."
It is a matter of record what Rice did on receiving this warning from
her own top expert on the imminent mega-terrorist threat facing the
United States. She did nothing.
The Bush-****ters were far too busy trying to figure out how to enrich
their supporters and get back at Saddam for Poppy Bush's failures.
Ask yourself which Americans are dead as a result of Bush's war against
Iraq and which Americans are making money hand over fist as a result of
Bush's war.
