Former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, the Republican co-leader of the
commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, consulted on the
project. Yesterday, Kean said, "I think they did a pretty good job." The Lone Patriot, one of the few who actually read the commission report, agrees:
"... no amount of script
rewrites will change the fact that al-Qaida rose and flourished on
Clinton's watch, fueled by indecision and perceived lack of American
resolve. Opportunities to inflict a mortal wound on al-Qaida by killing
or capturing its leader were repeatedly missed or blown."
Those trying to protect the legacy of Bill Clinton and his staff obviously don't agree (or don't want history to remember them that way). They must be pleased that only 13 million households watched it. The Manning brothers football matchup drew a bigger share.
"Once it's shown in its entirety," Kean insisted, "people in both administrations are going to be unhappy." [quote from another article]
Five years after 9/11, the World's only superpower still has not brought the culprit to justice, and there's plenty of blame to spread widely.
Robert Young Pelton, author of Licensed to Kill -- Privitizing the War on Terror and now Licensed to Kill -- Hired Guns in the War on Terror, appearing on Fox this AM, says it was a very simplified version of events, but the Clinton Administration did have multiple opportunities to take out Osama bin Laden, but elected not to do so. He quotes a CIA paramilitary man who watched ObL every day in Sudan as saying a single bullet could have prevented 9/11.
He suggests encouraging privitized military units to go in and get him. Use the $25 million reward on his head to encourage them. ObL just needs to be found dead one day.
