2. anyplace to watch it online? n/t

[Bush was AWOL]

3. Tenet on Mousaoui

He couldn't warn Bush because "he did not see the president". Nobody did because his ass was on vacation the whole month of August.

4. thanks for update

gotta get cable

[Bush was AWOL]

6. I've never thought this until now, but,

after watching this and some of the things they repeatedly ignored in both administrations, the FBI, CIA and FAA on 9/11 maybe this was not a accident or surprise attack, after all.

7. Surely you've heard of MIHOP or LIHOP? (nt)

[Bush was AWOL]

8. No, have not heard of either

[MissB]

9. I see you don't have the search function yet

(you need to donate to du first to enable the search function. Those people with little stars by their names have the ability to search - just fyi).

MIHOP = made it happen on purpose

LIHOP = let it happen on purpose

Some people here believe one over the other, others don't believe either. There are extensive threads in the archives about both of them.

[Bush was AWOL]

11. Ok, I'm going to donate right now

I need to read about this. I have a hard time voicing opinion on this with the thought that Ashcroft can read anything I write.

12. there was a dramatic confrontation during the live hearings

about that one

and WHY don't the dems make HUGE NOISE about Bush STAYING on vacation AFTER Aug 6?

has anyone done a timeline on EACH DAY of his Crawford respite?

is it on that excellent overall timeline somebody did?

[Bush was AWOL]

13. You know that is why Tenet did not tell him

He couldn't because he did not see him. Now, whether that was planned or not is another story.

[MissB]

14. I feel like I should point something else out

if you haven't already read about it. Forgive me if I'm telling you something you've already heard about: PNAC.

Reading their document Rebuilding America's Defenses is a good place to start. It sort of gives the idea that LIHOP or MIHOP is possible, given the current players in this administration.

5. Yawwwwwn... Way too little...way too late..

Too bad the "media" was not as interested in "serious stuff" during Clinton's term. Instead of focusing on the "impeachment of the century", they should have been exploring more important issues..

Perhaps , if they had not created a feeding frenzy of orgasmic proportions,Clinton might have been less politically crippled...and might have been able to get congress to believe him when he talked about terrorism..

Because of the media, all the parrots in congress could do, was to sqwawk "Wagthedog..wagthedog ....brwaaaaauuucCrrrrrkkkk , WAGTHEDOG."..

Nice try... 7 years too late.:(...

Lisa Myers...should have spent more time back then...being the investigative reporter she seems to want to be now.. Back then, she was interested in pantysniffing..

10. Every time a repub opines that Clinton didn't do anything...

about terrorism, I TRY to remind them of the attack on the USS Cole: The second the media speculated on retaliation, the Rethugs were screaming, "Wag The Dog!!!!"

The responses generally range from, "That didn't happen!" to "So what, he should have retaliated anyway!" to just ignoring my statement.

Has anyone else had enough of the Freepers' selective memory?

edited for punctuation.

15. Flip-Flop

That is what I tell them.

Works great, since that is the phrase they are trying to stick on Kerry.
