What a scathing report. The damage control needed to cover up the years of...wait, hold everything. Stop. This commission did the exact same thing every American did. Blamed the US Intelligence services. The report spreads around the blame but in the end, it's the CIA & the FBI...we spent how many tens of millions to know the exact same thing any of us could have told them on day one. A farce then & a farce now.

Chairman Thomas Kean & Lee Hamilton, the commissions vice-chairman, all but endorsed the actions taken by the Bush administration.

...the goverment was "not active enough in combating the terrorist threat" in advance of the attacks.

Kean said the nation is safer now than it was on 9/11 but, as he put it, "We are not safe."

He said blows have been struck against terrorists, and attacks have been prevented -- but he says the nation still faces one of the greatest security challenges in its history.

He concluded, "We cannot let our guard down."

Panel vice-chairman Lee Hamilton says the nation "needs to play offense" against the terrorists-to kill or capture them before they can strike, and to deny them sanctuaries.

He also says countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia need to be kept stable and resolute -- and that the U-S needs to "sustain a coalition of nations" that can cooperate against terrorism.

Public Law 107-306 provided for the reprogramming of $3 million for the Commission. Congress subsequently appropriated, and the President signed into law, an additional $11 million appropriation for the Commission. Recent legislation authorized an additional $1 million, bringing the Commission’s total budget to $15 million.
The Commission is confident that it can fulfill its mandate with this amount. We appreciate very much the support of Congress and the President for this level of funding.

Are you complaining here or what? From what I understand this commission was never about pointing fingers or playing a blame game but grilling EVERYBODY at the highest levels who was involved in some decision making process and ultimately coming up with some kind of solution as to what we need to do now to make sure this is a less likely occurance in the future. This wasnt some kind of witch hunt Starr commission from what I understand despite the worries of the Bush supporters. Now the question is will they shrug these suggestions off and continue on business as usual as they always have. If they do THEN "they" (whoever is in power) can be held accountable for the NEXT go around.

:lol:

Nope. No liars or burglars in that administration.

I'm complaingin because the 9/11 commission was a colossal waste of time & money. It ignores the Sudanese offer to turn bin Laden over entirely. What else was ignored?

A new level of government? An Intel czar? We already have the NSA, the Sec of Defense & Homeland Security?
 
So do you think this means that the lardaceous, unshaven, unkempt, odoriferous, porcine, blowsy, putrid, verminous and just plain slovenly Michael Moore will have to give back the Palme d'Or award F9-11 won at the Cannes Film Festival?
 
Um...If he lied, that movie is damaging enough to be construed as slander. So if he DID lie, he'd be in one major lawsuit.
 
What do think would happen if Bush was to sue him while in office? It would whailing and gnashing of democratic teeth.

He is a Moore-on.
 
WELL, if he had PROOF that he was a liar, it'd be quite quick. But since all Michael put in his documentary is TRUE, (some of it is SPUN, but it's still true) he doesn't have any proof.

Then ENLIGHTEN me. Tell me, with PROOF, with actual credable WEBSITES, (Public documents are a great start. One-sided republican crap is not.) about where he is WRONG.
 
Oh god, I have read so many.

Can we start with GWB flying his Bin Laden buddies out during the flight freeze?

. . . Do you read NYT?

U.S. yanked bribe plan
to capture Bin Laden
Originally published on July 23, 2004
WASHINGTON - U.S. officials scrapped a 1999 plan to offer the Taliban a $250 million bribe to turn over Osama Bin Laden, fearing then-First Lady Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright would object to paying off the infamous women's rights abusers.
Clinton had long criticized the Islamic regime in Afghanistan for covering women with burkas and denying them educations and jobs.

According to the final 9/11 commission report, Bill Clinton's administration had already made fruitless overtures to the Taliban, paying $10 million to $20 million annually in bribes.

Moore Deceits (with footnotes)

9 lies from the house of Moore

Its not about truths, its about entertainment (veiw of a leftist)

http://www.centigrade911.com/

There are tons of sites out there that show the truth on his manipulations (those are lies), have some fun with google (its spell’d’d’ M-O-O-R-E)

Go get some enlightenment, Its not me that has been going thru life with blinders on.

BTW Burden of proof is on the presenter of the accusatory information, so you prove what you believe to be true! (or are you mindlessly following the directions you have been fed?)
 
They're a harbinger when they're named Shrillary. She is the definition of power hungry. She supported her lying husband while he hosed is way throughout their marriage knowing he could help her career. She is a socialist wanting to socialize America: "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Clinton said, according to the Associated Press. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Yes, it takes a village.

Billary have their eyes locked on '08, and this country will be up shit creek without a paddle if they aren't defeated.
