You all understand she and everyone else is briefed everyday about something or another. To say we would have acted differently if we listened is a joke. We had info on the first attack on the WTC but did nothing. We had info on the bombing in Oklahoma but did nothing. We had info before the bombing of the USS Cole but did nothing. We had info on David Coresh in Waco and still f**ked that up.Being a Monday morning quarterback is always easy.

The more I research all this, the more it becomes obvious that Bush will sack anyone who either disagrees with him or paints a bleak picture of one of his hobbies (i.e. Iraq). "If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists."I wish Condi would just resign already. Instead of history remembering her as a hard-working black woman who worked her way high up in a presidential administration, it will instead remember her as a failure to the country. That's just sad.

@xGORDOx"Because they were apprehended in the U.S. , not on a foriegn battlefield."On February 7, 1995, Pakistani Intelligence and U.S. Bureau of Diplomatic Security agents raided the Su-Casa Guest House in Islamabad, Pakistan, and captured Yousef before he could rebase himself in Peshawar. He was betrayed by Istaique Parker, a man Yousef had tried to recruit. Parker was paid $2 million for the information leading to Yousef's capture.[6] When he was discovered, Yousef had chemical burns on his fingers.Yousef was flown back to the United States and helicoptered into Manhattan. He was sent to a prison in New York, New York, United States, and held there until his trial.Care to revise your statement?

Um, we knew who the terrorists were, we knew they were training to fly planes, we knew that something big was going to happen.Sure, we didn't know exactly what - though obviously something with planes - and we didn't know when. fair enough.But, if you are keeping an eye on this, and one morning all of your watched guys run out and buy plane tickets (or they all buy tickets on separate days but for the same departure day/time/plane) shouldn't alarm bells be going off!! like big muther-f**king alarm bells!! This isn't me breaking my diet and scheduling a monday morning run to the chocolate store that my friends find out about, this is people knowingly associated with Al Qaeda (terrorists), all taking flight lessons, all booking flights for the same morning, is this not suspicious to you? Put a marshall on the plane, warn the pilots, try to do something!
