1. Her expertise is cold war soviet union
That has almost no resemblance to the subtleties of today's global issues. The cold war and today's version of terrorism are totally different. She has no clue.

3. I saw it . . . pathetic, wasn't it. Question--what was the title of the
Presidential Daily Briefing of Aug 11?

Answer--before I respond to that, I'd like to give my rendition of "Boogy Woogy Bugle Boy of Company C" played on my kazoo. I learned this when I was 12 in Girl Scout camp where I also stitched a pair of pot holders out of shoe laces . . . "

4. She was hired to fail. She was always going to be fall-gal for this
crowd.

Bush's message to working class white men is that if you fail, you blame a women, immigrant or minority. Rice covers two of the three. Powell covers two of three if you include his parents.

5. Wow! PBS wore Bushco out IMO

Bush reading Pet Goat
Bill M. "strongly suggested" that Bushco was asleep at the wheel.
I thought that it was honest, or let me say, more honest than anything that I have viewed about 911.

6. A must see hour....I hope tapes are available
I thought the show covered a lot of the timeline
in just one hour, with good film...excellently
produced and edited.

But there was one glaring omission and that was
where Bin Laden came from...the whole episode
in the "80's and 90's where in Afghanistan, the U.S.
CIA sponsored the largest and most successful jihad in modern
history where it armed and trained several hundred
thousand fundementalist warriors against our
common enemy, the Soviet enemy and that many of those who
now targeted America were veterans of that earlier
CIA-sponsored jihad."*

* from Charlie Wilson's War, George Crile, pg. 508

Get George Crile on NOW to talk about that whole
period of time. I'm sure it would connect some
more dots for Americans.

7. Rice was one who should have been fired promptly after 9/11
Rumsfeld was another. When the dust finally
cleared, they clearly didn't take the responsibilities
for putting together the intelligence heads
to even discuss what might be going on.

Richard Clarke was right.

9. PAss it on
On Sept. 11, if you see EVEN ONE Bush campaign ad using 9-11 imagery, call the White House. Pass it on. It's bad enough when he politicizes the deaths of 3,000 Americans on other days. But if he does it on Sept. 11, it'll be an outrage.
Please e-mail EVERYONE YOU KNOW and ask them to do the same!
