- The report was factual but left much to be desired. All you did was say that several good assault plans were rejected by command, forcing a frontal assault using unreliable locals, and that the focus was to Afghanize the fighting of the war. You did not say why. You did not point out that before 9/11 the Bush administration was planning on attacking Iraq. You did not say that Weinberger hated the 1992 decision to stop short of invading Iraq. You did not wonder why we wanted to attack Iraq since Hussein and Al Queda were staunch enemies. You did not say that Afghanize really meant keep the 82nd Airborne and other highly mobile units ready for Iraq not Afghanistan. You did not give the background for any of it, just the already known fact that we lost him because we were stupid and decided to attack the wrong country.

- Does anyone else see the irony in the use of a "theatrical makup artist" for this?

- Yeah that''s it. "The media" is to blame. Anything to take the blame away from the inept gang of morons running the White House at the time.
Conservatives believe in personal responsibility until it''s applied to them. - Reply to this comment
- The media gave away all of our moves to capture Bin Laden and helped him escape by trying to be the first with the story. I remember hearing all about triangulating his cell phone, and I thought he''ll never pick it up again. He didn''t.

- "This is why the Laden Family were never picked up and hung."
Where were you born, beehive? Hang the family for the sins of the son. That''s warped...I don''t care who you are. I want justice. That doesn''t include killing the innocent. Isn''t that what Osama did?
There won''t be a WWIII. The WORD WAR (War On Terror)will last forever.imo
If after Pearl Harbor being bombed we attacked Japan enough to weaken them. Then took the majority of our troops around to Germany it would have just as much sense as what has happened in Afghanistan.
It''s the same as a boxer getting out of the ring during a fight and going after his next opponent prior to the fight being over. - Reply to this comment
- Bush and his Family,are friends with Bin Ladens Family ,they''re in construction.The elder Bush has been working with the family and made millions,when the kid went bad ,they let him go.So, Bin is loose or maybe jailed somewhere for his own good,but, the Bushes and Ladens are said to have an agreement,worth Billions,now.
It''s the word on the street.
This is why the Laden Family were never picked up and hung.
It''s going to be very difficult to rid the nation of the Bush influence ,they been in charge for 3- 4 decades.
Do not be surprised, if they start WW3,then it shall be King George,no elections in time of War. - Reply to this comment
- Gee, Scott. Why didn''t you ask Dalton Fury how the war in Iraq--which wouldn''t start for another 15 months--prevented him from getting Bin Laden? That''s the Donkey talking point, right? The war Iraq caused us to take our "eye off the ball in Afghanistan" and let Bin Laden get away. Obama repeated this canard in the first debate. Wouldn''t it at least have been worth a mention? Or are you guys too busy cooking up phony documents to prove McCain was AWOL during the Vietnam War?

Must of taken awhile to think up that one. I have no use for either of these 2 parties.
We are in a new era, where rather than screw the American people behind their backs, they screw you right to your face.
The GOP have brought down the USA and the Dems are to stupid and spineless to stop them.
Everything I mentioned in my post was well known fact. With your need to belong to a club, comes a belief that they can do no wrong. You are the problem. Sniping at Dems isn''t going to help a floundering country. Both parties are owned and work for big business. The bailout was criminal. - Reply to this comment
- I''ve been batting for 60 Min. about the Major. It seems no one else I tell believes it''s the truth. My screen pals are calling me out on the first strike. They want to know if I believe in UFO''s. Sorry...I think they are wrong. It would help to know if any of the other 49 could validate the story. Not for me...but for history''s sake.

- Lt. Col. Shelton Lankford
, U.S. Marine Corps (ret), an attack pilot with over 300 combat missions, wrote in 2007 to the Michigan Daily,Our government has been hijacked by means of a new Pearl Harbor nd a lot of otherwise good and decent people who are gullible enough to think that the first three steel-framed buildings in history fall down because they have some fires that the fire fighter on the scene said could be knocked down with a couple of hoses and through which people walked before they were photographed looking out the holes where the plane hit. One of these, Building 7, was never hit by a plane and even NIST is ashamed to advance a reason for its collapse. And, miracle of miracles, these three buildings just happened to be leased and insured by the same guy who is on tape saying they decided to PULL the last one to fall.
During his 20 year military career, Col. Lankford''''s decorations include the Distinguished Flying Cross, and 32 awards of the Air Medal.
In a statement to this author, Col. Lankford wrote, September 11, 2001 seems destined to be the watershed event of our lives and the greatest test for our democracy in our lifetimes. The evidence of government complicity in the lead-up to the events, the failure to respond during the event, and the astounding lack of any meaningful investigation afterwards, as well as the ignoring of evidence turned up by others that renders the official explanation impossible, - Reply to this comment

Hmmm....I wonder if DUMBYA and BUTTHEAD saw that episode of ''Get Smart''. - Reply to this comment
- It takes an Evil enemy to keep a country united out of fear. Bush din''t want Bin Laden. Bin Laden did him a favor; at least in the short run...but Bush really can''t see past his nose...This will bite both he and McCain in the A**. Can''t wait!

[b]FBI Prevents Agents from Telling ''Truth'' About 9/11 on PBS[/b]

CQPolitics - SpyTalk Blog
The FBI has blocked two of its veteran counterterrorism agents from going public with accusations that the CIA deliberately withheld crucial intelligence before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
FBI Special Agents Mark Rossini and Douglas Miller have asked for permission to appear in an upcoming public television documentary, scheduled to air in January, on pre-9/11 rivalries between the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency.
The program is a spin-off from The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America, by acclaimed investigative reporter James Bamford, due out in a matter of days.- Reply to this comment

- Thank you, CBS News, for sticking your necks out and daring to expose rogue elements of the government who do things like betray our military and manufacture financial crises.
I am getting the word out as best I can about this article and the Wall Street Shadow Market article. Maybe we can finally take back our government from Dog/Pony ''08 and company. - Reply to this comment
