It’s not that we don’t get it, it’s what can be done to answer that question?

I see that question in the same light as, “What documents did Sandy Burgler steal and destroy?”

How will we ever know? With Able Danger, there have got to people who know, but either aren’t willing to talk or are not being allowed to talk…

Anyone remember when Chris Wallace interviewed Bill Clinton and Clinton melted down on public television?If you don’t, I have the transcript of that interview from when we posted about it at the time,…

The only relevant questions on this subject just keeps getting ignored.

What did Able Danger know, and why did Clinton order that information destroyed.

I keep getting a bar in Internet Explorer that says:

This website wants to run the following add-on: ‘Microsoft Data Access – Remote Data Services Dat…’ from ‘Microsoft Corporation’. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here…

I thought all of my microsoft updates come automatically to my PC and not via web sites. Is one of the adds on the right side of the page trying to install something on my PC? I’m highly suspicious of this, and I would appreciate it if someone could let me know if this is ligit or not.

Call me paranoid, but I want to ensure there’s not malicious trojan horse software masquerading as an advertisement on hotair…

The most potentially damaging segment in the Executive summary is the recommendation that the diversion of funds be investigated. While the recommendations with regard to lower ranking personnel are easy to interpret as meaning that they so buffoonishly executed their duties that they warrant review, to ensure the buffoonery goes on the record (and, thus potentially, hopefully, either encouraging retirement, or flagging these incompetent individuals for either demotion or assignment to inconsequential positions) – the recommendations about the investigation of the DCI and his immediate deputies, and the actions of diverting appropriated funds to things they were not specifically appropriated for (a practice that goes on at practically every government activity, in one form or another, to greater or lesser extent) – and, while such activity is rarely scrutinized as long as it remains within certain boundaries, or is described in certain ways (the ‘tax’ scheme is a frequent ploy when there’s a desire to deviate from an overall funding scheme), technically, the financial actions described in the IG report are, well, illegal. As in, convene a grand jury, issue indictments, have a trial, then send these guys to jail illegal. And, of course, buffoonish.

According to Bubba, he “tried” to get Bin Laden. But, with that VRWC conspiracy at play, the whole al-Qaeda thing slipped his mind….quicker than he could slip a cigar into a young intern.

Bush’s failure is in lacking the killer instinct. And in not dump deadwood fast and fighting this war with all the resources we have.

Instead, he hung a medal on this loser.

And marked himself as too weak to clean house when needed.

The upshot of this section of the report is that Tenet made a grand show of leading an effort that he called a “war,” but did not lead as though it was actually a war.

To be fair, the word “war” has suffered a generational dilution. Is there really a “War on Drugs”? Is there really a War on Terrorism if the majority party and a large segment of the populace refuse to recognize it?
Sorry, but Berger’s usage was pedestrian political posturing.
Hang ‘em all.

“What did I do? What did I do?” Clinton said at one point. “I worked hard to try to kill him…I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.”

This is one of my favorite qualities about Bill Clinton. Somehow he always managed to take credit for everything that anybody in America did while he was President while never taking responsibility for anything. Pathetic leadership. It’s we the people, baby, we the people.

Oh, how I’d love for this Tenet/Clinton link to stick and watch Hillary wear it around her neck for a while…

Letter from President George H.W. Bush (https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2002/george_hw_bush_letter.htm)
December 5, 2002

I am sorry not to be there as The Nixon Center honors a truly great man, George Tenet. If there ever was a person who has truly earned The Nixon Center’s prestigious Distinguished Service Award, it is our nation’s DCI George Tenet.

In these most complicated, dangerous of times, George Tenet is doing a superb job as the President’s top Intelligence Officer.

Years ago I was DCI, but the problems our country, the CIA, and the Intelligence Community faced back then are nowhere near as complicated as the problems faced today. Thank heavens we have a man of your honoree’s integrity and ability leading our Intelligence Community.

The Nixon Center has indeed chosen well. Please congratulate Director Tenet for me.

George Bush

Say what you will about Goss, he rebuilt the CIA back into a working agency rather than the left-wing happy campus it had been.

Yep, and just remember it was that left-wing happy campus that gave us Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson.

Say what you will about Goss, he rebuilt the CIA back into a working agency rather than the left-wing happy campus it had been. No surprise he had to leave after kicking the chair out from under so many butt-warmers.

As for Bush Sr’s stint at the CIA, I believe history will shed laudable light upon the “quiet spy master”.

What did Able Danger know, and why did Clinton order that information destroyed.

I’m just trying to keep score here…. Somebody has to put all this(the Clinton “legacy”) together in one place. Maybe David Horowitz’s discover the network can put a page up on the Clintons….

This is all their fault, one way or another, and everyone should know.

History WILL say that the Clinton Admin was the worst in the entirety of the United States of America.

I wouldn’t bet on it shooter. Most presidential historians I know about are liberal weiners and they seem to rewrite history to suit their own bias and/or agenda.

BTW, does this mean that Tenet will have to return that Medal of Freedom (or whatever it was) that Bush so hurriedly placed around his neck when he left his position at CIA?

the Attorney General declassified and read from a March 4, 1995, memo in which Jamie Gorelick–then Deputy Attorney General and now 9/11 Commissioner–instructed then-FBI Director Louis Freeh and United States Attorney Mary Jo White that for the sake of “appearances” they would be required to adhere to an interpretation of the wall far stricter than the law required.

The cover up from the Clinton admin is, in my opinion, treasonous. Clinton destroyed the intel community, absolutely destroyed and dismantled it.
We had NO ASSETS in Iraq, none that I’m aware of in Iran, a handful stuck up in Russia somewhere and barely an operative for them to even talk to anyway.

The counterrorism funds that Tenet secured went elsewhere. The question is, why? Was it just bureaucratic land-grabbing, rank incompetence, or something worse?

Its the CLINTONS.

History WILL say that the Clinton Admin was the worst in the entirety of the United States of America. They have singlehandedly harmed beyond belief, our security, honor, morals, integrity and our FREEDOMS.

I wonder how Speaker Gingrich will regard the news that Tenet’s CIA diverted that money away from counterterrorism.

Talk to us Newt.

We also need an operative like a Michael Scheuer? Maybe? I don’t trust Baer any longer..nor do I know who I can trust.

I’m so f*c$ing pissed and now I’m rambling, seemingly incoherently, but there is no doubt in my mind the bill and hillary mobsters are behind this ineptness, and sadly… by design.

why isn’t this smeared all over the front page of the NYT?
