Where is the liberal outrage about Able Danger?

Published on September 2, 2005 By Island Dog In Politics

Since a resdident radical will not let me respond to her posts I shall do it here. That is typical though, don't like the comments just cover your ears and ignore.

Puppy, you're a fool

guy, it's always back to clinton with you guys. As far as I'm concerned, clinton should be held accountable if he is, in fact, complicit in some intelligence failures. But, he is no complicit in the iraq mess.

As usual the response starts with an insult.

And it's not "always back to Clinton". The fact is Sept. 11 was planned years in advance, the President then was Clinton. It is now coming out that the Clinton administration took a passive approach to terror, much like what democrats want us to do now. We see the "wall" that was put up by the Clinton justice department might have blocked intelligence about the Sept. 11 attacks. If this had anything to do with Bush we would see the usual posts about it, so where is the outrage from you?

That would be the bush bums. Especially the bush bums. They put us into iraq based on their greedy conflicts of interest and outright lies. clinton may be responsible for not organizing the intelligence agency well enough. But, he's not complicit in killing thousands upon thousands of iraqis or thousands of americans for sending them to their deaths. What a waste of life and resources. It all happened under dubya's watch, by dubya, for dubya and cheney and halliburton.

The funny thing you quote an editorial column and you are talking about Iraq. The article had nothing to do with Iraq.

As far your comment about Halliburton it shows how out of reality you are. There was no oil or Halliburton conspiracy. We did not go to war for a contract. Either prove your accusations or shut up about it.

Once again as usual you complain about the "wasted life" in Iraq. Where was your compassion when Iraqis were being killed by Saddam and put into mass graves? Where is your outrage at the U.N. for scamming the Iraqi people out of food and medicine for oil?

I'm also sure that were it not for our troops in this wasted effort of a war, then the New Orleans mess would not be the crisis it is in now. But, this is another story, for another thread.

Of course, leave it to an extreme liberal to blame Iraq for the mess the hurricane left behind. It's shameful and pathetic.

I'm not up on all of the facts of Able Danger, I just have a general understanding of it, but if there was all this warning about 9/11 beforehand, wouldn't Bush be equally guilty of doing nothing for 8 months?

i'm outraged as hell!

clearly a group inside the pentagon has been conducting experiments to determine the effects of psychotropic drugs. only this time they were their own guinea pigs.

Maj. Paul Swiergosz, a Defense Department spokesman, said Pentagon investigators reviewed 9.5 million documents, e-mails and other military records, and interviewed more than 80 individuals, including Shaffer and Able Danger's team leader, Navy Capt. Scott Philpott.

Swiergosz said four team members told investigators that they recalled a chart with a pre-Sept. 11 photo of Atta, while the fifth member recalled only a reference to Atta's name.

Swiergosz and other Pentagon officials said they believed that all five of the team members were credible, but that investigators could not find a single piece of evidence proving that such a chart existed.

"The facts are very simple," Swiergosz said. "They specifically searched for the name Mohamed Atta and it never came up. We couldn't even find data that someone could use to create such a chart."

"able danger" musta took its name from the fact that when these guys were able to find their way to the parking lot, everyone on the road with them was in danger.

what really pisses me off is a. i never got paid to take drugs at work. and b. they were sharing their dope with someone who didn't need it (rep curt weldon, r-pa)

Weldon was the first to publicly mention Able Danger, saying in a brief passage in his recent book, "Countdown to Terror," that the chart was produced before the attacks and that the Pentagon failed to act on it. Weldon also said he gave the chart to Stephen J. Hadley, an advisor to President Bush, just after the attacks. Hadley was deputy White House national security advisor at the time and has since been promoted to national security advisor. The White House has refused to comment on whether Hadley received such a chart.

the good news is senate judiciary comittee plans to take names and kick asses on september 14,2005. i hope they've already subpeonaed hadley and weldon. one of em will have to change his story of perjure himself. either way, bush can announce his support for yet one more liar.

here's a link to the source of the material i quoted Link
