bin Laden attacks America in NYC, Washington DC, and embassies in Africa. So what do the wackos do? Disband Alec Station - the group that has only one purpose - to get bin Laden. So who does Classicman blame? Clinton.

Extremists will never ask this question. "When are we going after bin Laden?" Extremists conveniently forget that when bin Laden was public enemy #1, George Jr simply eliminated the organization tasked to get him. Then blame Clinton?

Extremists subverted and halted efforts after effort to get bin Laden. When bin Laden was identified in Tora Bora, the entire 10th Mountain Division was nearby ready to go. Thanks to extremists, the 10th Mountain never moved. Was never permitted to get bin Laden. Eventually bin Laden escaped using the same trail that Special Forces wanted to use to get him. But again, same wackos also would not let Special Forces go in. Protecting bin Laden means extremistins always had a boogey man - besides Rush Limbaugh.

Classicman routinely forgets that reality. Otherwise he would have to admit extremist are that slimmy, that dumb and that anti-American.

The only reason Alec Station was disbanded - extremists are that wacko anti-American. A political agenda is always more important.

I saw it live on Peter Jennings. Jennings did something unusual that night - a live interview with a White House spokesman. Jennings challenged the White House spokesman (I don't remember his name) with Richard Clarke's testimony. Clarke said the President encountered him in the hallway on the 12 Sept. Making a comment that Saddam did this. Clark said no sir. bin Laden did this. The president then said to see if Saddam did it.

That spokesman denied what Jennings reported. Then Jennings said ABC News also had testimony from a military officer who was standing next to Clark and who confirmed the entire conversation. The White House spokesman then went silent - would not say any more.

Later on the evening of the 12th, ... wandering alone around the Situation Room, was the President. ... He grabbed a few of us and closed the door to the conference room. "Look", he told us, "I know you have a lot to do and all ... but I want you , as soon as you can, to go back over everything, everything. See if Saddam did this. See if he's linked in any way ...."

I was once again taken aback, incredulous, and it showed. "But, Mr President, al Qaeda did this."

"I know, I know, but ... see if Saddam was involved. Just look. I want to know any shred ..."

"Absolutely, we will look ... again." I was trying to be more respectful, more responsive. "But you know, we have looked several times for state sponsorship of al Qaeda and not found any real linkages to Iraq. Iran plays a little, as does Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, Yemen."

"Look into Iraq, Saddam," the President said testily and left us. Lisa Gordon-Hagerty stared after him with her mouth hanging open.

Paul Kurtz walked in, passing the President on the way out. Seeing our expressions, he asked, "Geez, what just happened here?"

"Wolfowitz got to him," Lisa said, shaking her head.

From where we all sit today, that story is not new. It is what we expect from them who also loved torture, intentional lying about Saddam's WMDs, and ... well their overt lies would more than double this post.

Of course they wanted 11 September blamed on Saddam. History is quite clear about that - and why.

I agree that you have again taken this to a personal level. Why is that tommy?

I agree with you on this point though. "extremist are that slimmy, that dumb and that anti-American."
Your problem is that you are just as much an extremist. Wake up and smell the coffee.

And what is this fascination YOU have with Rush Limbaugh, anyway?
