- 1stofnewleaders, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It is unbelievable how despite reality staring him in the face, holding him in place and repeatedly kicking him square in the groin, he STILL won't acknowledge its presence. Is that not the definition of delusional?

You can read the newly declassified senate report here: http://intelligence.senate.gov/phaseiiaccuracy.pdf
The Zarqawi information is on page 109 if you are going by the page numbers on the actual report, and page 112 on the counter in the PDF file.
Russert missed another one too, Cheney said something along the lines of "homeland security has done a hell of a job, we haven't been attacked again in 5 years'. The only thing that stopped several of our planes from being blown up a few weeks ago was undercover work in the UK, they had an informant from the Muslim community who came forward, and they put an undercover agent in. I wish Russert would have pointed that out, because the propaganda machine has put out lies that our officials claim their wiretapping program helped foil this plot, although of course not a single one of them is on the record anywhere has having said it.
- PowerCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3we havent been attacked in 5 years? maybe not on american soil.
But if we are fighting terrorists over there, then when the terrorist attack americans, it is a terrorist attack on americans.
SO far we have lost about 3000 of our sons and daughters. Sounds like not only have we lost a 9/11 worth of people since 9/11 but we have also moved the targets(americans) closer to the terrorists.. now they dont have to travel as far to kill americans.
Big difference is it is now our poorer americans that join the military vs the richer americans likely to work in the WTC complex.

- NoahVail, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am reminded of Will Rogers' statement: An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.
Only in this case, everyone has found out except for Cheney. Is he truly this ignorant, or is he a liar? When he was a senator, he was the one senator who wanted South Afrika to keep Nelson Mandela in jail for terrorism. That reminds me of another Will Rogers saying: There ought to be one day-- just one-- when there is open season on senators.
