You guys do a great job of making people feel welcome.
I just told you, I can not pick one reason, nor can I put my finger on it.
Enjoy your site.
Nice try Jon, but your site is no different than any other. No reason for me to post at multiply hostile liberal sites.... I will just stick to my others.
This all tells me what the woman has done, but not who she is. What does her moral stance place her? Is she pro-choice or pro-life? Is she a supporter of women's rights? Has she ever stood up and demonstrated for a cause she believed in?
What makes her a great woman?
I'm not trying to make you feel unwelcome. I am honestly trying to understand what you see that I do not. Reading a resume does not enlighten me. I'm sorry.
No, but smart ass remarks like this do.
Like I said...enjoy your site. I'm out.
Tired...
Condoleeza Rice Quote
"I do not remember any reports to us, a kind of strategic warning, that planes might be used as weapons."
FACT
Condoleezza Rice was the top National Security official with President Bush at the July 2001 G-8 summit in Genoa. There, "U.S. officials were warned that Islamic terrorists might attempt to crash an airliner" into the summit, prompting officials to "close the airspace over Genoa and station antiaircraft guns at the city's airport." [Sources: Los Angeles Times, 9/27/01; White House release, 7/22/01]
FACT
According to the newly released FAA monograph, in the spring of 2001 the FAA knew that if "the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable".
Of the 105 warnings issued, 52 warnings regarding al Qaeda were given to the FAA by the intelligence community in a six month period from April 2001 to September 2001.
Condoleeza Rice Quote
There was "nothing about the threat of attack in the U.S." in the Presidential Daily Briefing the President received on August 6th.
FACT
Rice herself confirmed that "the title [of the PDB] was, 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."
You're going to tell me that if the intelligence community was aware that there was a National Security risk regarding the FAA, that the National Security Advisor isn't going to know about it?
Don't waste your time Jon, they don't want to know. Or they do know, and they just don't care.
Must stink with your head stuck that far up your ass.
