3. I hope 9-11 brings Clarke back after he's reviewed her testimony. |
|
They need to let him address many factual discrepancies.

13. *This was not threat reporting* if it doesn't say EXACTLY where the |
|
threat is? Baloney. If the report SAYS that Bin Laden wants to attack the United States, that's not enough to take some better action? He was friggin supposed to say "I am attacking the US on Sept 11 in NY by hijacking a plane?"

80. Hope the transcript reflects her answer... |
|
... about whose responsibility it was to act. "It was the FBI's responsibility."
Besides putting all the blame on the FBI, which they won't like at all, it's an attempt to say it's not the administration's role to provide additional focus for the administration's agencies. That's rather self-serving, I think.

74. The elephant in the room |
|
She has said there was information months before 9-11 that something VERY BIG was going to happen. They knew it. So when they knew that planes had been hijacked, why did they not respond as though this was THE BIG THING? Why did the resident continue his schedule as though nothing was happening? Where were the military jets to protect our airspace? SHE HAS ADMITTED THEY KNEW THIS WAS AN ATTACK.

78. Gosh, you'd almost think Thompson and Condi rehearsed |
|
Looks like someone is getting their questions from the White House -- even WITH all this talk about the Cole

84. Thompson now trying to blame everything on Congress? |
|
Is Congress supposed to come up with it's OWN counter terrorism policy and pass it?
How odd to think such a thing. That's not how it works, and Thompson knows that as a former Governor.

82. "Strategic damage"???? |
|
Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 10:53 AM by skypilot
That doesn't sound like "eliminating" Al Qaeda, that sounds more like "rolling back" which is what she says they weren't interested in doing.

out the door.
1. Dick Clarke 2. Structural problems (CIA/FBI) 3. 20th terrorism vs historical problems 4. The Cole - why no response.
Cond - Secy Rumsfeld said it best - that incident was past didn't want to respond tit for tat - strategical vs tactical and would embolden terrorists. Best course was to look ahead for more aggressive strategy. I believe UBL was ready for a response to the Cole
Thompson - that answer bothers me.
C - we're moving to a diffent concept - not just try to punish them. IN the context of war, it's an issue of can you do strategic damage to an organizaton.
T - blowing up our destroyers is an act of war, is it not? How much more do we need to respond?
C - we believe a response would embolden them
T - remarkable but Congress has to change the structure of the FBI and provide funding . Where was the Congress?????
C - We couldn't make big changes in 233 days. Patriot Act gives ability legally to share inter-agency info. YOu can't depend on TREE SHAKING or an alert Canadian border agent. This is hard - structural changes we have made give us a better chance
T - Zbignew Bryz (sp) says this week...Iran may arise as a nuclear state and Hezbollah or Hamas may arise as threats - are we keeping an eye on that?
C - We are. Not just focusing on AQ - enlisting help of countries around the world. We've de-legitamized terrorism...We are keeping our eye on it. Can't just focus on one thing - war on terrorism is an organizing principle to form a united front
T - If we rec sweeping changes to re-org FBI CIA can you say the prez will fight to get them enacted
C - if he agrees with them. The country was not properly structured but we're better than ever today. Prez highest calling is to protect the people
Blech.
