Condoleeza' Rice's "historical document" claim debunked in WH memo!
From: http://www.nitestar.com/blogger.html

The most damning evidence regarding the Condoleeza' Rice's "historical document" LIE.

It's there clear as day:



"The millenium plotting in Canada in 1999 may have been part of Bin Laden's first serious attempt to implement a terrorist strike in the U.S. Convicted plotter Ahmed Rassam has told the FBI that he conceived the idea to attack Los Angeles International Airport himself, but that Bin Ladin lieutenant Abu Zubaydah encouraged him and helped facilitate the operation. Rassam also said that in 1999 Abu Zubaydah was planning his own U.S. attack."

This is by the way, the Millenium Attack Clinton's intelligence people thwarted.

So a guy who planned the Millenium attack admits assistance from bin Laden's lieutenant, and also claims that lieutenant is planning his own attack.

There's nothing "historical" about this, it's a clear tipoff and I don't understand why more news outlets are not zeroing in on this language from the White House briefing?

This briefing was either dismissed or ignored. In any event, it is the most damning evidence Bush's people were asleeep at the wheel and corroborates Clarke's testimony absolutely.

Why is it in America presidents are impeached for lying about blowjobs instead of lying about ignoring intelligence that could have prevented the deaths of thousands of innocent American civilians?

1. "Is it historical?"
Bush: "What's this?"
Condi (via video link): "It's a history of al Qaeda's desire and efforts to hijack airplanes and/or attack with explosives - within the US."
Bush: "It's historical then?"
Condi: "Yes. It's a brief overview of al Qaeda's past and ongoing desire to attack inside the US."
Bush: "So that means we don't have to do anything about it, right?"
Condi: "The al Qaeda cells aren't something that we've been told we need to do something about."
Bush: "Ah, OK, good. Where's my fishin' pole?"

2. That's perfect
and maybe...

Condi: The FBI and CIA are already dealing with it, and even though we're saddled with structural problems, you may or may not want to meet with the director of the FBI anytime soon...
