The Memo….

The vaunted August 6th Memo has finally been released. Please read it.

To highlight some right off the bat:

Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US

Clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate Bin Ladin since 1997’ has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the US. Bin Ladin implied in US television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and “bring the fighting to America.”

After US missile strikes on his base in Afghanistan in 1998, Bin Ladin told followers he wanted to retaliate in Washington...

A clandestine source said in 1998 that a Bin Ladin cell in New York was recruiting Muslim-American youth for attacks.

We have not been able to corroborate some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a [deleted text] service in 1998 saying that Bin Ladin wanted to hijack a US aircraft to gain the release of “Blind Shaykh” ‘Umar’ Abd aI-Rahman and other US-held extremists.

Now I ask everyone, can you specifically find the date September 11, 2001 on anything in the memo? In regards to the paragraph referring to hi-jacking an airliner, does it have any information regarding using it as a missile?

After reading this, seeing the years that are included within the memo(most of the dates fall between 1993-1998 where Bin Laden had been gaining strength) and trying to figure what it is that the farging assholes Democrats on the 9/11 commission are trying to angle for, it’s amazing how these people can see almost anything when they really wish to. But they never look in the mirror.

Bill Clinton, Richard Clarke, Sandy Berger and Madeline Albright can kiss my go to hell. Add to that, Richard Ben Veniste, Jamie Gorelick and Bob Kerrey.

I wish this pin-headed posse could show everyone where the Bush White House knew and prove Cynthia McKinney correct. You know you can’t, so go f**k yourselves.

Rather than affix blame to the other party as the Democrats are trying to do (or pass the buck as it where), I would rather see us blame those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, the terrorists. In addition to blaming them, I think we should destroy them. How does that suit everyone? Fair enough?

Just a quick note

I wanted to wish all of my readers a very happy religious weekend. Easter for those of the Christian faith, Passover for those of the Jewish persuasion, and a nice weather weekend for those pagans out there.

I’ll be spending the weekend with family, so I’ll be away until tomorrow evening. That isn’t to say that Steve and John might not be making posts this weekend, but that I won’t be - for the next 36 hours or so, anyway.

Have a great weekend.
