Condi Rice cancelled 9/11/2001 speech
Edited on Thu Apr-01-04 12:46 AM by BrentTaylor
On Sept. 11, 2001, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice was scheduled to outline a Bush administration policy that would address "the threats and problems of today and the day after, not the world of yesterday" -- but the focus was largely on missile defense, not terrorism from Islamic radicals.
The speech provides telling insight into the administration's thinking on the very day that the United States suffered the most devastating attack since the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. The address was designed to promote missile defense as the cornerstone of a new national security strategy, and contained no mention of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or Islamic extremist groups, according to former U.S. officials who have seen the text.

They MIHOP and they knew what was going down. This was just CYA bullshit.

The whitewash from the 9/11 commission will say they had their priorities wrong.

The truth is that they are bloody well complicit in the 9/11 black ops action against America. These people are treasonous capital criminals not just inept morans.
