Debt Of Honor had a plane used as a missile as well. But no one ever thought of that, huh Condi?

And the planning for that started back in the mid-90's so I guess ol' Richard Clarke should check his own comments and criticisms, as should you, huh?

he was trying to point out how much time Clarke had to react to Al Qaeda but didnt do sh*t... so your blaming Condi is pretty much bullsh*t as well.

"The content of the Web site, which requires registration to post, is sometimes crude and contains none of the hallmarks of jihadist Web sites," Homeland Security advised in the notice.
Ahhhh, I'm glad we're down to only one type of terrorist again; incidents like Oklahoma City will never happen again

B.
The warning, which was quoted in the government notice, predicted 100,000 dead from the initial blasts and said "countless other fatalities will later occur as result of radioactive fallout."
Obviously morons. That's not what a dirty bomb does. This would be like threatening to blow up an airliner with a normal fire cracker.

Wasn't blaming condi for anything. Just re-stating her line. Not like she was concerned about it or anything on 9-10. Too busy being a Soviet expert and worrying about missile defense that will never work.

Brilliant!

Here is another good one. Jose Padilla, the "dirty bomber" actually thought you could separate plutonium for making a dirty bomb by placing in a bucket and swinging it over your head REALLY REALLY fast. No one said these people were great minds. :roll:

Let's try not to turn this into another who is to blame for 9-11 thread. I think most of the reasonable people on here are in agreement with the 9-11 commission that it was the total break down of our entire governmental process that allowed 9-11 to happen.

Now if you want a real debate then talk about whether enough action was taken against al-Qaeda before 9-11 by Bush AND Clinton, but there are threads for that as well.

Yet it's perfectly Ok for you to continue to blame Clinton? :disgust:

Nice obfuscation attempt. You clearly implied that Rice was at fault and tried to dodge the Richard Clarke mention.

Better luck next time.
