Jim wrote: Why Bush didn't want a 9/11 panel The White House tried to prevent the formation of the 9/11 commission and slowed the panel's progress along the way by stonewalling the release of documents and appearances of key witnesses -- like Condi Rice, President Bush and Dick Cheney. The New York Times reports that 19 months later, "in 17 preliminary staff reports, that panel has called into question nearly every aspect of the administration's response to terror, including the idea that Iraq and Al Qaeda were somehow the same foe." "Far from a bolt from the blue, the commission has demonstrated over the last 19 months that the Sept. 11 attacks were foreseen, at least in general terms, and might well have been prevented, had it not been for misjudgments, mistakes and glitches, some within the White House." " ... With its historic access to government secrets, the panel was able to shed new light on old accountings, demonstrating, for example, that Mr. Bush himself, in the weeks before the attack, had received more detailed warnings about Al Qaeda's intentions than the White House had acknowledged." " ... In the studies, Mr. Bush in particular has come off as less certain and decisive than he has portrayed himself. The final report, issued on Wednesday, reminded Americans that Mr. Bush remained in a classroom in Florida for at least five minutes after the second jet struck the World Trade Center, in what he told the panel was an effort 'to project calm' for a worried nation." Michael Moore's movie comes out this week. That, and Kerry's errorts to separate the war against Iraq from the war on terrorism. Moore's film, the commission, and Kerry raise further doubts about Bush, his truthfulness and his competence. LOL! Hmmm....I wonder why Hezbollah wants to market Moore's film? Probably because Kerry is someone they can deal with. John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! Give that man a cigar! |
