U.S. fatalities in war exceed those from Sept. 11 Military deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan reach 2,974

WASHINGTON - Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now surpass those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America’s history, the trigger for what came next. The latest milestone for a country at war came Friday without commemoration. It came without the precision of knowing who was the 2,974th to die in conflict. The terrorist attacks killed 2,973 victims in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

And when will it end?

Spy Agencies Say Iraq War Worsens Terror Threat

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — A stark assessment of terrorism trends by American intelligence agencies has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Neo-cons must have guessed wrong and of course noone is to blame for this.

Good toon Mike. I hope everyone was able to see the interview where Clinton ripped the right wing fallacy that he sat on his hands and not trying to kill OBL. Clinton made very good points about him trying to get OBL, but the REPUBLICAN controlled house and senate were too busy worrying about what Clinton was doing with his penis…I know everyone remembers wag the dog now don’t we…

It’s their victory celebration, 3000 United States soldiers killed, yea for liberalism.

Never mind that it has nothing to do at all with defeating Islamic fascism or that if the ignorant backwoods neanderthal suicide bomber had flown the plane into the 30th floor instead of the 88th we’d be talking about tens of thousands killed, you liberals are the true definition of ghoulish grave robbers.

What’s there to deny anymore? There were no WMD’s, there were no links to terrorist, there is a civil war, Iraqis are dying by the thousands month after month, This administration lies and continues to lie to its constituents, nothing is done for the people at HOME.

What else is there to add to this mounting list of failures? The actions in Iraq and the middle east have further fueled Muslim extremists. The United States is breeding them on a daily basis. This is something that most of has known for a long time. How are you going to it back and deny what 16 US spy agencies have come up with? How can we continue to say that we’re right when so many others have said that we are wrong? The United States of America is directly and indirectly responsible for the extremist ideologies in the Middle East. There is no other way around this, and if you go back and look at US foreign policy in the Middle East for the past 60 years you will understand why.

The best you guys can come up with is “I hate the AJC”? All because they report the stories on what’s happening in the world? Should the AJC post stories about rainbows and lolly-pops? I guess that would make you happy.

Great Toon Mike - This hopefully will make some people think about what is really going on.

(to take a cheapshot at Sean Hannity) Mike - Your a Great American!

Yep — We have lost more USA soldiers in Iraq than the number of people that we lost in the world trade centers during 9-11. However at least the soldiers went over knowing that they could lose their lives.

I will say this though — Collatteral damage against the Iraqi’s have killed far far more civilians seeing as that figure is over 40,000 Civilians killed (By our forces not fellow Iraqi’s nor are they enemy combatants). That 40,000 in civilian deaths has far exceeded the number of civilians that the Taliban killed in 9-11.

I will also remind everyone that Iraq was not responsible for the 9-11 attack against us, and that WE invaded their country without a (specific) good reason to justify our attack on a sovereign country and it’s government.

Yes — Our President has exceeded in a great job of population control, yet failed at everything else. Bush is definitly a lousy President, and his worshippers need to wake up to his evils that he has brought to this planet and even to our american society. And this damage is going to haunt us for a long time.

No, Andy, we don’t have to support the Administration. Especially one that lies to it’s people. It is our right as US citizens to question our government and its policies.

Why would anyone with half a brain continue to support this administration? What has it gotten us?

September 25, 2006 12:59 PM | Link to this

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Christian conservatives, traditionally a reliable Republican constituency, aren’t necessarily a GOP gimme this time around. There is an undercurrent of concern that some evangelicals, unhappy that the GOP-led Congress and President Bush haven’t paid more attention to gay marriage and other “values” issues, may stay home on Election Day or even vote Democratic.

“Conservative Christians are somewhat disenchanted with Republicans,” said Kenyn Cureton, vice president for convention relations with the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination with nearly 16 million members.

Religious conservatives are unhappy the Republican-led Congress hasn’t paid enough attention to “values issues,” he said, noting that even a push this summer against same-sex marriage came too late.

“It has not escaped our notice that they waited until just a few months from the November elections to address our agenda,” Cureton said.

Just one more group the Republicans scammed so that they could continue looting the treasury for more war-bucks and profiteering by picking at the bones of the 9/11 victims and our fallen soldiers. What would Jesus Destroy ? ? ?

For those who have suffered losses in the wars he initiated, Bush prefers to offer comfort in private. He writes letters to families of those killed, visits soldiers at military hospitals and meets with relatives of the dead. Altogether, according to the White House, Bush has met with 1,149 relatives of 336 dead service members.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. needs roughly 3,000 more Iraqi forces to join the battle in Baghdad, but requests for the troops have not been met because Iraqi soldiers are reluctant to leave their home regions, the commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad said Friday.

Maj. Gen. James Thurman told Pentagon reporters that while the U.S. has 15,000 troops in Baghdad — which military leaders say is the priority battlefront in Iraq — there are only about 9,000 Iraqi soldiers there. That is just a fraction of the 128,000 Iraqi Army troops that the U.S. says are now trained and equipped.

Iraqi soldiers generally join battalions in their geographic regions, and Thurman said that “due to the distance, (they) did not want to travel into Baghdad.”

Yeh, Iraqis want a free and democratic society alright, as long as they don’t have to leave home or fight to earn it, that is. Why should OUR BOYS fight and DIE for a people who WILL NOT FIGHT FOR OR EARN THEIR OWN FREEDOM ? ? ?

Imagine how many car wrecks there’d be if people looked only out their rearview mirrors and looked sideways to rant at other drivers. Rather like most of the comments so far.

Any solutions, suggestions, anything, anyone? I will predict we will disengage from Iraq long before jihadist ideology is defeated. So, any suggestions on how to deal with the jihadists?

w00t: “The United States of America is directly and indirectly responsible for the extremist ideologies in the Middle East. There is no other way around this, and if you go back and look at US foreign policy in the Middle East for the past 60 years you will understand why.” Partially agree. Islam extremest ideology can trace its roots hundreds of years - indeed, those who preach the ideologies do just that. Yes, some US policies help fuel the extremism - but fueling is not the same as cause. During the last 40 years the Iranian revolutionary government and the Saudi Islamist monarchy poured vast sums into furthering these ideologies - through madrassas and other means - and the core teachings show the ideologies are independent of the existence of the US, let alone the actions of the US.

“Seek dialogue and understanding” sounds very nice, until one realizes that extremists such as Sayyid Qutb, who spent years in American educational institutions and despised the west, particularly America. A very large factor was the freedom accorded women - which has huge implications for anyone who thinks introduction of democracy will lessen short-term violence.

So as I’ve said before: a multipronged effort to eliminate madrassas, expose state educational systems (Saudi Arabia) that perpetuate racist hatred, calls for investing petroleum revenues into an economic infrastructure not dependent upon oil, with the education and training to provide jobs and economic security, are a start.

WASHINGTON - A scorching internal review of the Bush administration’s billion-dollar-a-year reading program says the Education Department ignored the law and ethical standards to steer money how it wanted.

The government audit is unsparing in its view that the Reading First program has been beset by conflicts of interest and willful mismanagement. It suggests the department broke the law by trying to dictate which curriculum schools must use.

It also depicts a program in which review panels were stacked with people who shared the director’s views, and in which only favored publishers of reading curricula could get money.

Lest we forget what a collosal failure the Republicans have been at DOMESTIC issues as well as their FOREIGN policy blunders.

RE,

I am on record as saying that neither administration did enough before 9/11. That’s a fact, but your claim that Bush did nothing is impossible to say. We know that what Clinton had been doing wasn’t working so there is every reason to believe the Bush administration was restructuring things. If you recall prior to 9/11 we were going on week ten of wall to wall 24 hour a day Chandra Levy coverage, so the media wasn’t interested. The Democrats were doing their best to keep any cabinet positions from being filled, so they weren’t interested either. The country had fallen into recession under Clinton so it was pretty important that be addressed.

Prior to 9/11 you could probably make the case that Bush wasn’t ready for prime time. Since then you can’t.

A regular over at Wooten’s who is an articulate conservative (they DO exist!) has an interesting comment this morning:

By RGrossman - September 25, 2006 11:39 AM - Clinton is no longer President. He is not even the guy that was in office last term. He is part of history and history will judge him apart from any politics. He is a dead horse and it should be the goal of every Republican to never again speak his name. Let it go.

[The GOP is often perceived as being backward looking. Let’s not reinforce that image. Time to look forward! (It’s fun to call the left the “blame America first crowd” but how will we feel when “the Republicans are the blame Clinton first crowd” becomes part of the popular culture?)[http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/shared-blogs/ajc/thinkingright/entries/2006/09/25/blacksandthe_gop.html#comment-693538)

Do you think drunken Andy, Redundant Windbag and the other children here will consider this?

Naahhhhhh…

As for Chris Wallace asking a simple question? No quite so simple.

In an interview about Clinton’s environmental initiative Wallace begins blathering about how he’s gotten THOUSANDS of calls and emails urging him to ask just ONE thing, and he concludes by asking this by-popular-demand question. Why didn’t Clinton “put bin Laden and al Qaeda out of business”.

So Clinton told him. He targetted bin Laden and failed. But did more against al Qaeda than Bush did, which was nothing.

The truth just sucks the big one, doesn’t it?

A young man from about 20 minutes from where I live in Alvin, TX may have to go AWOL sometime in the next 2 weeks. He is stationed in Alaska and has a conscientious objector packet that has been pending for several months now. For the first 3 or so months, it just sat on his company commander’s desk because he didn’t know what to do with nor did he care to find out what to do with it. It is now only 2 weeks until he is scheduled to deploy to Iraq and he does not even have an investigating officer appointed yet. His command claims that his packet is at brigade level, but at this point there is no telling. So, if something doesn’t happen with his packet in the next couple of weeks, he is planning on going AWOL and missing movement. I ask that we all stand in support of this brave soldier and please email me if you would like to contact him and offer some words of support to let him know that he is not alone in this. He has asked me not to reveal his name until he has come to a final decision. Thanks to all of you for everything that you do.

In preparing the 2003 budget, the New York Times reported that the Bush White House “did not endorse F.B.I. requests for $58 million for 149 new counterterrorism field agents, 200 intelligence analysts and 54 additional translators” and “proposed a $65 million cut for the program that gives state and local counterterrorism grants.” Newsweek noted the Administration “vetoed a request to divert $800 million from missile defense into counterterrorism.” Sources: 2001 vs. 2002 Budget Analysis; NY Times, 2/28/02; Newsweek, 5/27/02

They’re against the United Nations resolutions, and we’ve so far discovered two. “And we’ll find more weapons as time goes on,” Bush said. “But for those who say we haven’t found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they’re wrong. We found them.”

From the “I did not have relations with Bin Laden’ - ” Department

Bush Senior: Attacked Iraq - Then retreated after wisely realizing that it would use up America’s resources. Wrote a book on this subject that his son should have read but obviously didn’t. (not that W’s reading skills are all that good first place and thats why he just uses W’ for his name as he can actually spell that!)

Clinton - Tried and failed to kill Bin’ Laden. Brought the Deficit well under control after the previous Administration sent us into record deficits. Gained a surplus in Social Security.

Dubya’ - Tried and Failed to kill Bin Laden, then got distracted by Iraq and it’s oil. Gave up on Bin Laden’ and instead went postal on Saddam with false and misleading (can you say lies?) information. Upon leaving office he saddles the USA with a mess in both Iraq, and Afghanistan, and potentially more nightmares of North Korea, Iran, Palestine, Lebannon. His administration is sending our national debt into outrageous levels of deficit where we now pay over 300 billion of our tax dollars each year just to pay the interest.

Hmmm —- Mission Accomplished George! (that is if your mission was to ruin the United States of America.

Oh — And i’m sure Halliburton thanks the American People (bush’s Administration) for providing them that Social Security surplus money (that Bill Clinton had brought under control and even into surplus.)

Good grief! You mean they got the Aluminum tubes wrong too!!!!!

The claim that the aluminum tubes were intended for the manufacture of uranium for nuclear weapons was central to Secretary Powell’s case to the UN that Iraq had a nuclear weapons program. He had been briefed by the IAEA about its disagreement with the CIA analysis, and was aware of a controversy inside the U.S. government about the administration’s claim because the DOE and State Department had both commented on the draft of his speech, which even mentioned that there was disagreement among experts. However, Powell’s speech dismissed this disagreement by lumping the U.S. experts with the Iraqis: “Other experts, and the Iraqis themselves, argue that they are really to produce the rocket bodies for a conventional weapon, a multiple rocket launcher.”59 Many experts, especially at the DOE, felt “that was really a slap in the face…my friends in DOE felt shocked…we were thrown in the same camp as the Iraqis.”

Over the weekend I noticed a lot of liberal ranting over the recently published intelligence report. The lunarclub lefties have been screaming from their high perches about creating more insurgents for months. When a report comes out they act like it’s news and it is for stupid people.

All you conservatives out there looking in. Did this come as a surprise to you? Hell no, you’re smarter than that. You just don’t get overcome by the same hysterics that the left does. You won’t fail to see that the NYT article only published select portions either, or that they were party to the rise in insurgence through the exposure of classified information. That again makes you smarter than the lunarclub lefties.

We can’t afford to have the dems protect us from the enemy. Democrats will always react with emotion. A good example was Clinton’s unpresidential behavior Sunday night when he succumbed to the limpwrist test.

Never send a chimp to do a man’s job. Bush is an embarrassment that should never have happened. The GOP was so eager to put ANYONE in the White House after Clinton mopped the floor with them that they let this mental midget take over, with evil genius Cheney behind the curtain pulling the levers. If Bush could have stood on his own two feet politically and in regards to U.S. foreign policy it may have been OK, but he had to lean on people who had long histories of nefarious behavior. And here we are, stuck in the quicksand that is Iraq, that had nothing to do with 9/11, that never attacked us.

(From Buy Danish) Here’s a quick quiz for you:

Who was President first? William Jefferson Clinton or George W. Bush?

I hope this isn’t too tough.

-=-=-

Answer — Neither! The first President was George Washington! (snipe) (and silly frankly)

-=-

Now concerning your next post to me —

Geeze Buy Danish — Didn’t we go through this issue just last week? Your comparing the situation in Iraq during Clinton’s Presidency as to the situation during Dubya’s Presidency!?? And citing cheapshot irrelevant quotes from Rush Limbaugh’s propaganda? That’s Apples and Oranges and two entirely different events and situations.

Most of those statements were made during the crisis in Iraq under Clinton’s Presidency (when we had absolute proof of Chemical weapons and a Nuclear research programs, and some weapons supplied by the USA during Reagan’s Presidency).

These words were used during actions by Clinton that eventually forced Saddam to allow weapons inspectors and eliminate most of his weapons stockpiles.

These statements make no sense (and do not even apply) when you try to equate these statements to the current day Bush situation with Saddam and the illusionary WMD’s and chemical labs, Or should I say the invasion of a sovereign country without proof of any real danger. Note that very important word “Proof”.

A superpower country should not go to war unless we have a seriously valid reason to justify that war otherwise we become known as brutish powermongering invaders seeking world domination and we destroy for no reason.

I am surprised that you would link to a site that has obviously taken many quotes not only out of context, but definitly out of proper time period. These quotes do not even have a slight similarity to todays events. These quotes are just a hatchet job like cheap soundbites and are very misleading as they are nothing but garbage prattle and absoulutly do not count in comparison to the failures of Bush-Co’.

Clinton had proof of a danger from Saddam, and he stopped it with the help of the UN. Bush had no proof but steered us into a war anyways without a valid reason for taking us into Iraq’.

And once he went off, there was no bringing him back. He wanted to talk about it in detail. He wanted to conjure up right-wingers and conservative hit jobs and a theory involving Rupert Murdoch that I still don’t understand.”

Time for a little cross-blogination to illustrate why liberal Democrats are clueless and can’t see that Bill Clinton is a freaking liar AND sociopath and argues over what the meaning of IS is.

Let’s try this one more time. You said:

NEXT

{{By CJ September 25, 2006 06:06 PM

Buy Danish…I’m still not with you.

Maybe I need to clarify. Please notice the word “or” in the second sentence just before the word “arises”. I tried to say that the proportionate lack of black people in higher income demographics can only have one of two mutually exclusive causes:

discrimination, or blacks are inferior (i.e. stupid or lazy). In the follwing sentence I said that I believe the former (meaning I believe the discrepancy arises out of discrimination) and many Republicans believe the latter (meaning they believe this discrepancy arises out of the fact that blacks are inherently inferior).

Does that help??? Sorry to leave you hanging.}}

May I have a Howard Dean moment? ARRGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!

In this case CJ is arguing over the meaning of “OR”. Not that it makes one bit of difference.

Bush hasn’t even really tried — he abandoned the hunt for Bin’ Laden and went directly after Iraqi Oil interest with his Haliburton co-horts instead. Simply compare our troop strengths in Iraq as compared to Afghanistan and you will clearly see where Bush-Co interest lie.

Bush has no interest in capturing or killing Bin’ Laden. He could care less. After all his daddy’s republican buddys in the CIA trained Bin Laden in the first place!

IN RESPONSE TO EX-PRESIDENT’S CONTENTIOUS INTERVIEW ON ‘FOX NEWS SUNDAY’, SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE ACCUSES BILL CLINTON OF MAKING ‘FLATLY FALSE’ CLAIMS: ‘We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al Qaeda…’ Denies Bush demoted anti-terror guru: ‘Richard Clarke was the counterterrorism czar when 9/11 happened…’-DrudgeReport

And:

There he was on live television, the man those who have worked for him have come to know – the angry, sarcastic, snarling, self-righteous, bombastic bully, roused to a fever pitch. The truer the accusation, the greater the feigned indignation. Clinton jabbed his finger in Wallace’s face, poking his knee, and invading the commentator’s space.-TheHill

And:

Compare and contrast Clinton (to Ronald “God Bless His Soul” Reagan.) Questioned mildly on his anti-terrorism record by Fox’s Chris Wallace on Sunday, President Me went absolutely medieval on the newsman, leaning forward threateningly, rapping his fingers against Wallace’s notes and proceeding to, well, lie — and in a very angry voice too! “And you got that little smirk on your face and you think you’re so clever,” Clinton told Wallace, sounding for all the world like a 6-year-old girl scolding her playground rival. He then proceeded to try to rewrite his coulda-woulda-shoulda presidency by claiming to have had a much more focused and hard-lined approach to terrorism than any reading of his administration can support.-LATimes

Oh brother, said the bitter Republicans, here we are all set to inflict political damage and embarrassment on the Democrats and Mr. McCain blows it. And then what should happen, mirabile dictu, but Messrs. McCain et al. actually manage to cut a deal with the White House. Aaiiee, Democrats are caught on the horns of the dilemma of sticking with their praise of Mr. McCain for standing up to Mr. Bush and going along with him, or switching over to opposition having already ceded that the middle ground is where Mr. McCain was.-WashingtonTimes

NIE, concludes that “the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,” according to one of the unidentified “intelligence officials” cited in the article. This is supposedly because the war has provoked radical Islamists to hate America even more than they already did before they hijacked airplanes and flew them into buildings. If this is the kind of insight we pay our spooks to generate, we’re in more trouble than we thought. It’s impossible to know how true this report is, of course, since the NIE itself hasn’t been leaked. The reports are based on what sources claim the NIE says, but we don’t know who those sources are and what motivations they might have. Since their spin coincides rather conveniently with the argument made by Democratic critics of the war, and since this leak has also conveniently sprung in high campaign season, wise readers will be skeptical.-OpinionJournal

For instance, what specifically does it mean to say that the Iraq war has worsened the “terrorism threat”? Presumably, the NIE’s authors would admit that this is speculation rather than a statement of fact, since the facts suggest otherwise. Before the Iraq war, the United States suffered a series of terrorist attacks: the bombing and destruction of two American embassies in East Africa in 1998, the terrorist attack on the USS Cole in 2000, and the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Since the Iraq war started, there have not been any successful terrorist attacks against the United States. That doesn’t mean the threat has diminished because of the Iraq war, but it does place the burden of proof on those who argue that it has increased.-WashingtonPost

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States fell to sixth place in the World Economic Forum’s 2006 global competitiveness rankings, ceding the top place to Switzerland, as macroeconomic concerns eroded prospects for the world’s largest economy.

In a report released on Tuesday, the World Economic Forum said Washington’s huge defense and homeland security spending commitments, plans to lower taxes further, and long-term potential costs from health care and pensions were creating worrisome fiscal strains.

America continues to falter under Republican supply-side economics. Having been handed an economy with balanced budgetary spending, Republicans continue to expand the imperial presidency and big, big, government to levels that are rapidly erroding our global competiveness.

RICHMOND, Va. - A noted political scientist joined one of Sen. George Allen’s (R, VA) former college football teammates in claiming the senator used a racial slur to refer to blacks in the early 1970s, a claim Allen dismisses as “ludicrously false.”

Larry J. Sabato, one of Virginia’s most-quoted political science professors and a classmate of Allen’s in the early 1970s, said in a televised interview Monday that Allen used the epithet. Sabato’s assertion came on the heels of accusations by Dr. Ken Shelton, a radiologist who was a tight end and wide receiver for the University of Virginia in the early 1970s when Allen was quarterback. He said Allen not only used the n-word frequently but also once stuffed a severed deer head into a black family’s mailbox.

Allen’s use of the word “macaca” in referring to a Webb campaign volunteer of Indian descent in August prompted an outcry.

Allen’s teammates must have misunderstood his use of the ‘N’ word and his KKK jaunts through black neighborhoods to deposit his subliminal deer head messages (Republican apologists will now tell us that this was probably just ‘all in fun’ OR that ‘Republican Boys Will Be Republican Boys’, now).

Republicans LIE when the truth would do better. They should just own up to the fact that the Republican party has attracted the support of the nation’s covert bigots so that they can at least hold onto their racist core support groups but they will of course try to “Fool ALL of the People ALL of the Time”, over and over again ! ! !

Appeasement?? The Bush administration is appeasing the genocidal rulers of Sudan.

It’s all about the oil.

Here, in short, is a totalitarian regime with significant parallels to Nazi Germany, even if hardly on the same economic or military scale. It is also a regime arguably more murderous than that of Saddam Hussein, with a more expansionist agenda; a rogue state that has sponsored terrorism in the past and threatens to launch a jihad if the UN intervenes in Darfur. Earlier this year, Osama bin Laden issued a world-wide call for terrorists to go to the aid of Khartoum. Sudan has bona fide — not fabricated — ties to al-Qaeda. Khartoum is, in other words, everything Mr. Bush could wish for in an “Islamo-fascist” enemy.

You’d think that Bush would be talking about invading Sudan! Nope. He could have at least backed a solid Sudan sanctions bill. But he gutted it last year. It’s about the oil.

The President, by failing to support a bill that would certainly have defined the nation’s moral position, and might even have saved tens of thousands of lives, was choosing to appease, not confront the very “Islamo-fascists” against whom he rails in the abstract.

Would you be shocked to learn that, just last year, there were huge new oil dicoveries in Sudan? Sudanese intelligence leaders were ferried to CIA headquarters in Langley for instructions. Such a dilemna!

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had the unenviable task of explaining that our government sought “closer ties” with a terrorist regime because of its cooperation in the “war on terrorism.”

So here we have both appeasement (of “Islamofascists”) and neocon moral relativism (Darfur refugees don’t count) at their most elegant. All for oil. US security and plain old humanitarianism seem to be an afterthought.

Smell the hypocrisy.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The bodies of 13 men, apparently victims of sectarian death squads, were found scattered across the eastern part of Baghdad on Tuesday, police said.

The bullet-riddled bodies all showed signs of torture and had their hands and feet bound, police Capt. Mohamed Abdul-Ghani said.

The men, who were in their 30s, had been dumped around several religiously mixed neighborhoods, Abdul-Ghani said. Accusations are being traded by Sunnis and Shiites, the country’s two major Muslim sects, that each runs death squads around Iraq and in the capital.

Since Republicans LIED to us about the insurrgents ‘Last Throes’, what ELSE are they LYING to us about ! ! !

What the 9/11 Report says of Rice’s claims:

Page 197 (paperback edition- Chapter “Threat To Threat, Sec. 6.3 Attack on the Uss Cole”):

“As the Clinton administration drew to a close, Clarke and his staff developed a policy paper of their own, the first such comprehensive effort since the Delenda plan of 1998. The resulting paper, entitled “Strategy for Eliminating the Threat from the Jihadist Networks of al Qida: Status and Prospects” reviewed the threat and record to date, incorporated the CIA’s new ideas from the Blue Sky memo, and posed several near-term policy options”.

page 200

Rice made an initial decision to hold over both Clarke and his entire counter terrorism staff… She decided also that Clarke should retain title of national counter terrorism coordinator, though he would no longer be a de facto member of the Principals Committee on the issues.

page 201

“Within the first few days after Bush’s inauguration, Clarke approached Rice in an effort to get her- and the new President- to give terrorism very high priority and to act on the agenda that he had pushed during during the last few months of the previous administration. After Rice requested that all senior staff identify desirable major policy reviews or initiatives, Clarke submitted an elaborate memorandum on January 25, 2001. He attached his 1998 Dlenda Plan and the December 2000 strategy paper. “We urgently need… a Principals level review on the al Qida network”, Clarke wrote.”

From your Common Wet Dreams piece:

This^^ is a flat out LIE. Bush has been calling it GENOCIDE since 2004.…We have concluded that genocide has taken place in Darfur. We urge the international community to work with us to prevent and suppress acts of genocide. We call on the United Nations to undertake a full investigation of the genocide and other crimes in Darfur.

The countries that HAVE oil interests in the Sudan are China, Malaysia, India, Canada and some European countries.

U.S. oil companies are legally banned from doing business in the Sudan.

If anyone is after the OIL in the Sudan AND holding up action in the U.N. because of their interests, it would be countries like China.

He is accomodating Sudan, a country whose rulers are avowed jihadists who support terror and genocide. You can’t escape that fact.

And US business is investing in Sudan oil through massive stock ownership in foreign firms already there. Silent partners. That trick’s as old as capitalism. Where’ve YOU been??

Words do have their place though.

A comma. 3 1/2 years. Close to 3000 American deaths. Countless thousands of Iraqi dead. Hundreds of billions of dollars.

So far, free media have dominated the campaign—the stories on macaca, the Lumbrosos, and so on—and this will only continue if Allen keeps performing as badly as he has in recent weeks. If nothing changes, November 7 is sure to be the defining test of Allen’s three-decade-long political career.

On Jan. 26, 2001—six days after Bush’s inauguration—an FBI report for the first time conclusively tied the USS Cole bombing in Yemen to Al Qaeda. A few weeks later, CIA Director George Tenet raised the stakes, calling bin Laden’s global terror network “the most immediate and serious threat” to U.S. national security. Yet there was no retaliation for the Cole or any other Al Qaeda attack for eight months—the “principals” did not even hold a meeting on how to deal with the terrorist group—despite Tenet’s increasingly urgent warnings about an Al Qaeda attack in the summer of 2001. Even today, the Bush administration is spending more time, resources and energy on supposed state sponsors of terror, like Iraq, than on the terrorists themselves

And Condi gets steamed at President Clinton now — a little late for that, huh? Over eight months in office and not a single meeting regarding terrorism before Sept. 11th…

After the article appeared, National Review talked to Georgia Republican Saxby Chambliss, who was then a member of the House, chairing the Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security. Chambliss was perplexed. “I’ve had Dick Clarke testify before our committee several times, and we’ve invited Samuel Berger several times,” Chambliss told NR, “and this is the first I’ve ever heard of that plan.” If it was such a big deal, Chambliss wondered, why didn’t anyone mention it? Sources at the White House were just as baffled. At the time, they were carefully avoiding picking public fights with the previous administration over the terrorism issue. But privately, they told NR that the Time report was way off base. “There was no new plan to topple al Qaeda,” one source said flatly. “No new plan.” When asked if there was, perhaps, an old plan to topple al Qaeda, which might have been confused in the Time story, the source said simply, “No.”-NationalReview

That disaster might have been mitigated if our leaders had not dismissed the whole episode as a triviality. But Donald Rumsfeld likened the chaos to the aftermath of a soccer game and joked that television was exaggerating the story by recycling video of a single looter with a vase. Gen. Richard Myers defended our failure to intervene as “a matter of priorities” (we had protected the oil ministry)

A Yahoo story, nit from the mad spammer to follow:

Unprecedented? Yes. Impossible? Absolutely not, given an era of polarization that has produced a presidential election so close the Supreme Court had to settle it, and a 50-50 tie in the Senate.

Leaving aside the AP’s whopper that the Supreme Court settled the election, that was in 2000. How could that be??? I thought President Bush divided the country?

“It means that all of your focus and energy will be on trying to get to 218 in two ways,” said Steve Elmendorf, who was chief of staff to Dick Gephardt, former Democratic leader. “One, in recounts and trying to make sure you’re throwing every legal strategy and lawyer you can find into try and win the recounts.

Right now it is obvious that they do not have a clue. Name calling is not going to get the Dems control in November, taking action wins elections. That is why the Republicans will still be in control of Congress.

I support Bush and I am not ashamed of it. There are several things I that I admire him. It is obvious that he does not watch polls. He sticks to what he believes no matter what others think. Call him what you want it really isn’t going to change anything.

If the Dems really want to take over our goverment, start laying out solid plans. Right now the name calling is getting you no where. Well honestly it is getting you laughed at because to us conservatives you are looking like morons. So go ahead, we always need a good laugh.

From Bush’s speech today:

“The best way to protect America is to defeat these killers overseas so we do not have to face them here at home,” Bush said. “We’re not going to let lies and propaganda by the enemy dictate how we win this war.”

We’re not going to let lies and propaganda…..

Hmmm, maybe the Repubs should practice what they preach.

Even the fist part of the speech is a loaded statement. It translates into “You’re either with us or against us!” It gives no one else room to maneuver and make other suggestions on how to go about this “war”. Not only does Bush keep this blunder going on over seas but he also creates turmoil and unrest here in the states.

Look who suddenly wants to discuss the intelligence report…..in private.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi asked her colleagues Tuesday to close the House’s doors for a highly unusual secret session to discuss a classified intelligence analysis on global terrorism. Such a session hasn’t happened in the House since July 1983, when the chamber went into a closed session to discuss the United States’ support for paramilitary operations in Nicaragua.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Pelosi, D-Calif., said the secret session is necessary to allow members to better understand the intelligence community’s most recent assessment on global terrorism.

She said she hoped House Republicans would recognize the need for such an internal debate on the document, some of which leaked to the news media over the weekend.

Wow —-

All this focus on whether Clinton had left a plan against Terrorism for the next administration (or not). Really folks - what’s the matter with this picture. Your blaming Clinton for this? Ok - How?!!! How is this Clinton’s fault? I’d really like to know!

When Bush came into office, both he and his administration began throwing out everything that Clinton did, so even if there was a Clinton plan, then Dubya’ certainly wasn’t going to follow it. He had his own agenda in assuming control and power.

Now lets say Clinton didn’t leave a plan. After all, Was he required to? - No! — Not really! Daddy Bush didn’t leave any strategic plannings for Him when he became President!

How can these neocons justify (the real issue here of) Bush’s failure in this strategic planning matter. Clinton wasn’t responsible for making their plans for them (or doing their homework). This was Bush’s job.

When it comes right down to it, Bush and his administration had made NO PLAN themselves!…..Even 8 months later they had no plans in place.

The office and it’s duties were no longer Clinton’s responsibilities, they were the responsibilities of the new President upon the very moment he was sworn in.

Therefore Bush and his Administration FAILED the American people by their lack of planning! This was their job to do! Not Bill’s!

Condi’s is an idiot if she trys to fault Bill Clinton (as having not left them a plan), when they were responsible for not having prepared a plan for assuming the office in the first place. Clinton’s plan was irrelevant at that point.

To point fingers at the previous President for their own “poor” planning is a sorry and pitiful excuse for any Leader of the free world (and their cronies) to use. Bush and Co’ need to own-up to their own mistakes and apologize for their obvious lack of planning to thwart the terrorist!

But instead they (ahem) point fingers at Clinton and say - “Nyah Nyah — He Did it!”

So quit trying to fault Clinton. He had no more duties, responsibilities or even authority here. He was no longer the President! It was Bush’s JOB!, And he Failed America!

Responsibility! It comes with the Job!

Just put this in your pipe and smoke it:

If Clinton, and presumably his loyal staff, were so tuned in to the threat of terrorism, why did the trash the White House like a spoiled anarchist’s playroom?

Do you think that it’s possible that if the Ws weren’t removed from the White House keyboards, and the phones deliberately tampered with, and the offices trashed by a bunch of infantile Clintonian crybabies, Bush may have had a smoother transition?

IF only Clinton had permitted the transition to occur well in advance as is customary, instead of waiting until the Supreme Court, then maybe Bush could have planned better and wouldn’t have been stuck playing catchup?

Salon and others used the press briefing where Ari Fleischer downplayed the trashing of the White House by the Clintons as evidence that it didn’t happen. It turns out it really did, but the Bush administration wanted to move forward.

The director of the Office of Administration (OA), who had been present during five previous transitions, said that he was “stunned” by what he saw during the 2001 transition and had not seen anything similar during previous ones, particularly in terms of the amount of trash. The OA associate director for facilities management said that there was more to clean during the 2001 transition than during previous transitions. The telephone service director, who had worked in the White House complex since 1973, said that he did not recall seeing, in past transitions, the large amount of trash that he had seen during the 2001 transition. Further, an employee who had worked in the White House complex since 1984 said that office space in the complex was messier during the 2001 transition than all of the other transitions he had seen.

Clinton, via Richard Clarke, gave the incoming Bush administration everything it knew about Osama and al Qaeda on 1/25/01, just days after Bush was sworn in.

Read all about it here

In his reports, Clarke recommended immediate strategy sessions on this threat.

The first White House cabinet-level meeting was held 8 months later. One week before 9/11. Nice of them to bother.

Prior to that, Bush had done… nothing.

Meanwhile, it seems the dear Dr. Dean can’t WAIT until Bush releases that Intelligence Estimate showing that the US military in Iraq has strengthened the Islamic terror threat.

“Facts are stubborn things,” Democratic National Committee Howard Dean said in a statement. “Nothing changes the fact that President Bush’s failed leadership and war of choice in Iraq have made us less safe and hampered our ability to fight and win the global war on terror,” he said.

Watch Bush slip into his Orwellian mode. War is peace. Hot is cold. And (my favorite) fueling the growth of anti-American terror is success.

by the Unreal Spammer, September 26, 2006 04:51 PM- This forced Bush’s hand to declassify the whole thing so that the truth could be told. Now the enemy knows exactly what we are concentrating on and what we know of their capabilities

Once again President Tweety Bird can’t keep ANYTHING classified so he has to declassify the whole thing. Do you REALLY want another Republican administration in power that is pathologically incapable of keeping their own secrets ? ? ? It is the duty of the President to SECURE classified information. Once again, the Chimperor proves that he can not keep his own house. Rather than blaming the leakers, why not blame the people that were elected and trusted with the DUTY to SECURE classified info. THEY are the ones who ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB ! ! !

Wow, impressive. You were able to figure out all by yourself that a democrat leaked the information and that I was personally responsible for it in some way. “Sign the death warrant”, very dramatic. Can you tell me how exactally revealing that terrorists use the occupation of Iraq as a recruitment tool endangers any US citizen? And I seem to remember that PORTIONS on the 2002 NIE were leaked in support of the war in Iraq. Of course afterward when the whole report was disclosed, all the contridictory evidence was brought out, but hey, that was after we were in the war so what does it matter. Why did the president declassify that information back in 2002 anyway?

OBL is responsible for 9/11. We should be fighting the real enemy in Afghanistan.

BTW, w did nothing to catch him before 9/11

Get over it, we are at war with a real enemy.

Let’s see, it’s obvious to anybody but the most mentally retarded that the leaker of the information was a flaming pinko.

That’s probably why the yahoo! spammer is blaming it on Bush, gee, how unique, what a ground breaking concept, Bush did it.

You know for once, spam retardo, I agree with you. Bush should go to work tomorrow and FIRE ALL OF THE FREAKING PINKOS IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT BAR NONE.

There was an article at 4:07 about President Bush and President Karzai of Afghanistan. That was a very good article.

I watched an interview with President Musharraf last night. He had wonderful things to say about our troops and our country. President Talibani in Iraq says the same wonderful things. I think things are looking good for the countries of Afghanistan & Iraq. It will just take time.

Mr. Luckovich, can you possibly draw a cartoon showing something good that’s going on in Iraq? I would love to see one.

September 26, 2006 02:59 PM - Buy Danish, do you mean to say Bush didn’t move in until after january 20th?

RE (and Thomas),

NO. The FACT is that there is customarily a transitional period that immediately follows the election in November which gives the next administration time to set up.

Here is a WaPo article from 2000 that explains it:

The delay in pronouncing a winner of the presidential election is cutting into the already limited time for the eventual president-elect to conduct the massive task of launching a new administration, causing problems that experts said could last well into his first year in office.

{{For Gore, with friendly Clinton administration officials able to stay on and a budget going to Congress that likely reflects Gore’s priorities, a truncated transition period may not be that significant, most transition veterans agree.}}

{{But for Bush, who would have to re-staff an entire political appointee class, there would be less time to select Cabinet and White House personnel and to have the FBI and other background checks completed so his team can be put in place. Bush also would need time to rework Clinton’s proposed budget.}}

Got that children? Bin Laden must have loved every minute of it.

In a Dec. 5, 2001 op-ed for that newspaper, Mansoor Ijaz, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and chairman of an investment company in New York, wrote, “President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates. … I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities.”

RW —-

Trash on the floor? is that the best you can come up with? that there was more trash on the floor? (quoted by an AO officer)

Yet you use this issue as a means to discredit my initial comment as to the serious lackings of our current president (to do his duty) as in my initial post at 2:26. You still are throwing stones at Clinton to distract from the failings of Bush. Bah — so just how much does the GOP pay you to propaganda these sites?

Again - I read the GAO response to (ahem) the (“I love Bill Clinton”) Bob Barr “witch-hunt” on the damage. I notice that most of the report is where they interviewed people as to what they saw, and much of that proved to be not true as they discovered what the actual damages were.

If you note the actual damages came to about $9000 with most of it being normal damage events with just a few (without a doubt) pranks. I am also noting that pranks are nothing new seeing as they have happened since the 50’s in the past leavings of the Whitehouse.

There was also about another $6000 dollars spent on normal changeover things such as re-routing the phones for the new administration, and re-labeling phones, and assigning numbers not to mention desk, and signs.

Most of the damage is listed on pages 48 and 53 —

I also loved the fun little signs the exiting administration left at their desk such as “W Happens”, and “Hail to the Thief”. Ahh — boys will be boys!

Seeing as you love segments of a report to color the whole piece such as the (hearsay -un-proven) quote you did previously I decided to add this one snippit from the GAO report (that is not hearsay).

In the GAO conclusion of that report I think this quote speaks volumes concerning this witchhunt hack job by Bob Barr and the Bush Whitehouse!

“We believe that it is important to note here that many of the observations in question involved relaying views espoused by others, which we do not believe is acceptable evidence in these cases. Further, although we carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence that the White House provided, we did not always believe it was sufficient to support the conclusions that the White House suggested or reached.”

Nuf’ said!

I remember posting about the gop eliminating the borders to become the United States of North America.

Just saw it on Lou Dobbs and they want to merge with Mexico and Canada. This includes the NAFTA superhighway.

This is a Corporate idea, where our country will cease to exist to further immigration for cheap labor. Of course they will need cons running all three governments and Mexico just made that possible.

Hmm —

Yes Buy Danish -

It does take some time for a President to get settled in, but 8 months?? Puhleeese! —

And I remind you that the election was settled long before inaugaration, so he had that extra time too!..

Not to mention his (PNAC) cabinet members were already working their plans to attack Iraq, Iran, and North Korea… “The Axis of Evil” phrase that they coined 6 years before Bush (puppet) was elected. Meanwhile their little think-tank worked it’s poison in our country to persuade us all that killing Iraqi’s (and other ragheads) was the right thing to do in the name of progressing freedom. (never mind that it is causing us to sacrifice our own rights and privledges in the process)

As noted by the Bob Barr/Whitehouse witch-hunt previously today, it seems that Bush-Co’ was more concerned about a power grab, and a propaganda and media information control, and his closed door energy cabal control, and of course going after Clinton (A Real President). Yes he would rather do that than getting to the job of running the nation, and protecting America’s interest around the world. —

Wait — Forget 8 months! — The Republicans are still doing that after 8 years!

Yeah =- Go Figure! -

Only Thomas could walk right up to the charter count limit on a post saying that the old tenants left some trash.

The only context this topic makes sense in is that you claim the Clintons were the most focused and professional administration ever and that they were handing over detailed plans and briefings, setting up war plans to hand over etc. It turns out they were a bunch of trailer trash slobs at best and malicious vandals at worst. Either way it blows the hell out of that story of them being focused and professional they were.

Drinking buddies Andy and RW get SOOO hysterical with “pinko leakers” signing “death warrants” by forcing poor Georgie to release the NIE on Iraq.

What a pair of hysterical girly-men.

He didn’t release the WHOLE thing. And what he did release certainly isn’t “actionable” (as RW would say) by anyone.

But it declare convincingly that the US invasion of Iraq has succeeded tremendously in helping Islamic terrorists attract recruits and financing.

Actually BI, what he inherited was control of this country, not a mess. A country with a good reputation in the world, a budget producing surpluses, a country not bogged down in war.

I do not think you should call this nation a mess, even with the problems we face today this is still the greatest country in the world. You may cheapen it by calling it a mess, but there are still many here who love this country and are offended by your remarks
