Bill Schneider on PDB:"only thing missing is that it would happen on 9/11" [View All]

[SeveneightyWhoa]

A lot of us already know how pathetic CNN political analyst, AEI's Bill Schneider, can be (for example, his sneaky underhanded attacks and lies about John Kerry).

But he can be fair, too.

All of the following tidbits from http://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/10/otsc.schneider/ :

"I think it sounds exactly like Richard Clarke. I think Richard Clarke's testimony sounds almost exactly like what is in this presidential briefing. He was repeating what the president had been told on August 6. And he was urging the president to take these threats very seriously.

As I say, just about everything that happened in broad outline is in this memo, the only thing missing is that it would happen on September 11."

"On the other hand, Osama bin Laden had already carried out attacks, not on the American homeland, but overseas on the USS Cole and the U.S. embassies , and he clearly was associated here, associated his organization with the attempts on Los Angeles International Airport at the millennium. So I think there are pretty clear indications that this wasn't hypothetical. This man had acted and had tried to act on the United States homeland."

" I think it could be seriously damaging. What this says is, the White House knew what bin Laden was capable of planning, where he intended to do it, which was New York or Washington, D.C., how he was going to do it. There was only one thing missing, which was exactly when he was going to do it, which turns out to be September 11."



American Enterprise Institute member and undercover Bush cheerleader, Bill Schneider, said these things today. Whoa!
