"Path To 9-11" (ABC), To Be Aired 9-10-06, A bu$hfest?

[Dinger]

I was just watching 20/20, and there was a commercial for it. In it, they mentioned the "years" leading up to 9-11, etc. I immediately said to mu hubby, "Well, well, guess it was all Clinton's fault." Then, lo and behold, there's a picture of Clinton. So, I got out the computer, googled it, and the second entry was something from freeperland, and apparently they think it will be a bu$h-bashing movie. By the looks of that commercial, it doesn't look that way at all. I've noticed several threads here lately where people a speculating on an Osama October surprise. This movie seems to be adding at least a little fuel to that fire.

3. So What's Up With The Freepers?

Here's the link:


Oh, wait, never mind. I just realized I don't want to post anything from freeperland. Just google Path To 9-11 if you want to see what the bu$hzombies said.

2. "Beginning with the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center..."

Yep, it's going to be a blame-Clinton festival. Unless they point out that Clinton's administration either A) CAUGHT the terorists who attacked us or B)tried to, including homegrown anti-Clinton terrorists as well as foreigners.

Invading Iraq in response to 9/11 or the threat of terrorism is like invading Mexico because we don't like Castro.

4. PErsonally I wasn't planning on watching it regardless.

IT's ABC and everything I've heard about it on either side indicates that it is going to be long, boring, alighned with the ownership who's political leanings are quite obvious from previous things that have happened of late through that channel. Besides, I have yet to see a single TV documentary that doesn't already cover every detail I know, and 99% of the time miss many more important details on both sides that should be known by the public for how important they are rather than either no mention or minimal mention. IE Bush sitting there like a statue twiddling his thumbs rather than standing up saying, "Kids, I've got President work to do!" And Leaving like a peroper leader to take charge....

Although maybe it is for the best he didn't god knows what he would have done if he'd shown any actual initiative.

. . . .I also expanded my research beyond the commission report, which only goes back to 1998, concluding that I needed to go back to the first attack on the WTC in '93 and tell this story over six hours. Marc Platt and ABC exec Quinn Taylor agreed. . . .

. . . .Nowrasteh: This miniseries is not just about the tragedy and events of 9/11, it dramatizes "how we got there" going back 8 years to the first attack on the WTC and dealing with the Al Qaeda strikes against U.S. embassies and forces in the 90s, the political lead-up, the hatching of the terrorist plots, etc. We see the heroes on the ground, like FBI agent John O'Neill and others, who after the '93 attack felt sure that the terrorists would strike the WTC again. It also dramatizes the frequent opportunities the Administration had in the 90s to stop Bin Laden in his tracks -- but lacked the will to do so. . . .

. . . .FP: When you refer to the failed effort to stop Bin Laden in the 1990s, this was obviously the time of Bill Clinton. How much do you think his administration made us vulnerable to 9/11?

Nowrasteh: The 9/11 report details the Clinton's administration's response -- or lack of response -- to Al Qaeda and how this emboldened Bin Laden to keep attacking American interests. The worst example is the response to the October, 2000 attack on the U.S.S. COLE in Yemen where 17 American sailors were killed. There simply was no response. Nothing. . . .

. . . .As for blocking this plot, it's quite significant and the Brits should be applauded, as should our President. If you had said on 9/12/01 that there wouldn't be another major terrorist attack on American shores in the next 5 years you'd have been called nuts. . . .

7. Not One Question On August 6 Memo,Or *'s Role,Or The FACT

8. Going back to 93 isn't far enough

If he is going for the whole story of how 'we got there'. Why were people wanting to bomb the WTC in the first place.

9. Exactly go all the way back to the '52 coup in Iran

or if that's too far at least start at the point where the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.
