Amazing that this Democrat Liberal Elitist did not mention that Former Clinton security advisor, Sandy Burglar stole and destroyed TOP SECRET national security documents in order to avoid Clinton having to testify in front of the 9/11 commission. The document showed that the 9/11 terrorists were taking flying lessons at Flight Safety International in Daytona Beach in 1999. The Democrats were desperate to blame 9/11 on BUSH and could not stand the idea of any questions as to what Clinton might have had to do with it. That%u2019s why the Democrats came out with the 9/11 conspiracy theory to say its all Bush%u2019s Fault. These Democrat Liars and cheat think their Endless hate and rage will translate into votes for Democrats.

They were copies - another set is in the Clinton Presidential Library.

Media confuses originals and copies. As the story unfolded between July 20 and July 22, conservative pundits have run with speculation that Berger removed original classified documents, rather than copies, from the archive and then destroyed them as part of a cover-up. But there is no evidence to support this accusation; in fact, according to The Washington Post, "The documents removed were copies; the National Archives retained the originals."

paraphrase of National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who said on May 17th, 2002, "I don''t think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile - a hijacked airplane as a missile."

This kind of thinking elevates the attacks to something mythical, a magic trick, an act of God that no mere mortal could possibly have interfered with or anticipated. In fact, it was an operation planned for years by men who left clear tracks. As such, it could have been stopped. It should have been stopped



The facts say

Ramzi Yousef was one of the planners and participants in the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Yousef''s right-hand man, Abdul Hakim Murad, was captured and interrogated in 1995. During that interrogation, Murad described a detailed plot to hijack airplanes and use them as weapons of terrorism.

The primary plan was to commandeer eleven commercial planes and blow them up over the Pacific Ocean.

The secondary plan was to hijack several planes, which would be flown into CIA headquarters, the World Trade Center, the Sears Tower, the White House and a variety of other targets.

President Reagan appeared before the Tower Commission on December 2, 1986, to answer questions regarding his involvement in the affair. When asked about his role in the authorizing the arms deals,

he first stated that he had; later,

he appeared to contradict himself by stating that he had no recollection of doing so.

[43] In his 1990 autobiography, An American Life,

Reagan acknowledges authorizing the shipments to Israel.

Dismal:

Al Qaeda''s numbers in Iraq

Estimates for Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) numbers range from 850 %u2013 about three to five percent of the Sunni insurgency %u2013 to several thousand. In 2006 (prior to the Surge) the State Department''s Bureau of Intelligence and Research estimated that AQI%u2019s membership was in a range of "more than 1,000," putting AQI%u2019s forces at less than one percent of the insurgency.

The Congressional Research Service noted in its September 2007 report that attacks from al-Qaed
