1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Well in variety of the trade paper, variety of the 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: movie and television industry newspaper. The possibility has been posed 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: that Disney will totally scrap the movie the path, that 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: Iger is not happy with it and just may broom 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: the whole thing. I don't know if that will happen, 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what. What what has happened here? 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: Uh is so eye opening and illustrative, uh that I 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: wish it were self explanatory to a lot of people, 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: But sadly it it probably it probably isn't. Uh. What 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: happened yesterday is that the Senate Democrats, a bunch of 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: the leadership in the Senate, sent Robert Iger, the CEO 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: of Disney, a threatening letter. At what we have here, 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, is a it's it's a mob like 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: reaction from partisan hacks to intimidate an American broadcast network. 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: And that network ABC is being intimidated. Uh. The Communications 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: Act of ninety four, goes the letter. The letter from 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: the Democrats, provide your network with a free broadcast license 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principal obligation to 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more 21 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the 22 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 1: accurate discussion of political ideas and events. There's the threat. 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: There's these guys are saying that their license could be 25 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: under review if they produce something that Democrats don't like. Now, 26 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: what is it about this the Democrats don't like? What 27 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: in the world are they complaining about. All this movie 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: does is illustrate that there were numerous terrorist attacks throughout 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: the nineties that never were dealt with in any serious 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: fashion by the Clinton administration. And by the way, that 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: the Bush administration doesn't get off any better. Here at 32 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: the idea of that Bush is made to look good Bush, 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: and even in the movie kind of leaza Rice is uh, 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: this is this is just it's it's mystifying, well not 35 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: that wrong word, it's not mistefying. But here's what it illustrates. 36 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: It illustrates that the Democrats fear deathly fear the issue 37 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: of national security becoming forefront in this campaign. They deadly 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: are afraid of it, definitely because they cannot compete against it. 39 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: They know the truth about themselves in this regard. They 40 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: know that because of their actions and because of their words, 41 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: and because there are people like me and others who 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: can go back in time and report and remind people 43 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: of their words and actions, that they can't win that debate. 44 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: They can't win any debate anyway. All they can do 45 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: is silence their critics. All they can do is attempt 46 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: to shut people up who have criticized them, or discredit 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: those who who are critics of theirs, rather than bait 48 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: the issues. It also shows that they are fully aware 49 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: that they cannot get anywhere without accomplice type assistance from 50 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: those in the so called mainstream media, and so the 51 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: full force of big government intimidation was put to paper Yesterday. Dingy, 52 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: Harry Reid, and other Senate Democrats sent this letter off 53 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: to Bob Iger. There is one scene in the Path 54 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: to nine eleven that is by the way, folks, I'll 55 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: tell you you know, it's getting to the point now 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: we need a docu drama on the docu drama. We 57 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: need a docu drama to see exactly how to dramatize 58 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: just exactly how it is that Bill Clinton and his 59 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: hacks in the Democratic Party have attempted to intimidate a 60 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: major broadcast network entertainment division. Let him try this on 61 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: the news division. We need a docu drama of the 62 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: docu drama to show how other media are sitting by 63 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: and not saying a damn thing while one of their 64 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: uh competitors, colleagues whatever, is being threatened when it's broadcast license. 65 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: We need a docu drama of the doc you drama 66 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: that illustrates exactly how big government is intimidating free speech 67 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: in the entertainment community. And we need to see how 68 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: the representatives of big government, in this case, the Democrat Party, 69 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: are acting. We also need this since since everybody Clinton, 70 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: everybody else so concerned about the truth. All right, I'm 71 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: I'm up for that. We need a docu drama on 72 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: what happened to cause the genocide in Rwanda during the 73 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: Clinton administration, for which he has apologized and gotten great credit. 74 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I should have done more about that, 75 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: you know, but oh he cares. After that, we need 76 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: a docu drama on Bill Clinton's approval of the aerospace 77 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: firm Laurel, a big contributor to his campaign, selling satellite 78 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: technology to the Communist Chinese. And after that, we need 79 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: a docu drama on the red Chinese contributions to the 80 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: Clinton Defense Fund and his reelection campaign. And how about 81 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: a docu drama on all the Lincoln bedroom sleepovers. And 82 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: by the way, when are we going to get the 83 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: doctor drama on Monica Lewinsky. There are all kinds of 84 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: docu dramas just waiting to be made out. You could 85 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: have you could have a whole doctor drama on the 86 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Clinton presidency, but unfortunately he would have to be written 87 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: as a sitcom if it weren't so serious, an X 88 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: rated movie or or what have you. Now? That the 89 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: the the offending scene in this movie, as I have 90 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: shared with you on previous occasions, in this busy broadcast, 91 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: shows a little alliance, the Northern Alliance Afghanistan warriors with 92 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: CIA officials outside a compound in Afghanistan, inside of which 93 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: is Osama bin Laden. They are on the verge of 94 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: capturing bin Laden. They know what buildings in and all 95 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden, when the CIA agent on the ground, 96 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: whose name in the movie is Mike, which is a composite, 97 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: that's a composite figure here on the phone with people 98 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: of the National Security Council in the White House war 99 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: room or war whatever it is. And in the in 100 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 1: this scene, Albright, Madelin Albright and uh Sandy Burger refused 101 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: to give authorization. George Tennant refuses to give authorization, and 102 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: Burger hangs up on the CIA agent and they say, look, 103 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: if you do this, you gotta do it on your own, 104 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: as you're taking the heat if it doesn't work, well, 105 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: if you kill bin Laden, we're gonna we're not gonna 106 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: be saddled with an assassination charge. We can't do it 107 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: against the law. If you kill any innocence civilians are 108 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: gonna be held to pay. So you you don't have 109 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: authorization to do this, and so they backed out. The 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Clinton people are saying this is totally fabricated. Bill Clinton 111 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: madele at Albright say it never happened, except the fact 112 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 1: that the actual c I A agent name Mike says 113 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: that it did. His actual name is and you've you've 114 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: probably heard of this guy's name is. And I'm not 115 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: sure how to pronounce his last name because I've never 116 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: watched with the sound up on TV s C H 117 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: E U E R. Shire Shore. Doesn't matter. He's a 118 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: twenty two year veteran of the c I A who 119 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: used to head up Alex Station a L e C. 120 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: The Counter Terrorist Center's Osama Bin Laden unit. Now, just 121 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: so you know, uh, Michael Shier, I hope I'm pronouncing 122 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: that right, Michael, and I'm not trying to get it wrong. Uh. 123 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: Michael Shire is uh the individual regularly referred to in 124 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: the nine eleven Commission report as Mike. He has also 125 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: written some books, Imperial Hubrist, Why the West is Losing 126 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: the War on Terror? Uh, and Through Our Enemies Eyes 127 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Osama Bin Laden, Radical Islam in the Future of America. 128 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: He is an outspoken critic of the Bush administration and 129 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: its prosecution of the War on Terror. He is also 130 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: an opponent of the war in a rock. So the 131 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: point that I am making to you here is that 132 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: he is not a friend of the Bush administration. Now 133 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: our buddy, is it NewsBusters dot Org. I have a 134 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: post up by Noel Shepherd, uh from yesterday, Yes, yes, yes, yesterday, 135 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: I guess and Mr Shepherd says that after reading my 136 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: piece about the smear campaign against ABC's Doctor Drama, Shire 137 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: apprised me of an op ed he had written for 138 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: The Washington Times on July five this year. Given its 139 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: context to this issue, I wanted to share it with 140 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: our readers. Will do so in its entirety in a moment, 141 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: and it's done so at the end of the piece here, However, 142 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: Mr Shepherd writes, before I do that, let me first 143 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: share a more recent opinion offered Bushire as answers to 144 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: some questions I asked of him. In response to his 145 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: first email message, he says, is the scene in question, 146 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: as depicted by rush Limbaugh an accurate account of the 147 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: plan to capture or kill Bin Laden and FGHA understand? 148 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: If so, who do you believe gave the order to 149 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: halt it? And here is what Shia responded. Who is 150 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: the CIA agent Mike composite figure uh as portrayed in 151 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: the movie? He says, regarding the scene, it was never 152 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: clear to my officers and myself who canceled the operation. Well, 153 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: right there, the law is put to the law that 154 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: the Clinton administration says it never happened, it did happen, 155 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: and the agent on the ground says it was never 156 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: clear to my officers and myself who canceled the operation. 157 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: It is true that Richard Clark was bad mouthing it. 158 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: What I don't think people know, however, is that the 159 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: agency had thoroughly reviewed the plan C I A and 160 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: had approved its execution execution at the highest level, that is, 161 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: at the level of d C. I. Tenant and his 162 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: immediate subordinates. My officers and I were told that the 163 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: plan had been sent to Richard Clark and the National 164 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: Security Council for approval. The next thing we knew, the 165 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: chief of counter Terrorism at CIA told us the plan 166 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: had been canceled because sevil Ins might get killed. There 167 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: wasn't a hundred percent chance that we would get Bin Laden, 168 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: and that if ben Laden was killed in the capture effort, 169 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: the CIA might get accused of assassination. The implication to 170 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: us at the time was that the n s C, 171 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: Richard Clark and Burger and all these people sitting around 172 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: the table as in the movie, canceled the operation, but 173 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Tenant later claimed that he did it himself. I don't 174 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: know what the full truth is on this issue. Interestingly, 175 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: after our East Africa embassies were bombed on seven August 176 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: of ninety eight, Clark ordered us to immediately revive the 177 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: captured plan, but of course by then the chance had 178 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: been well and truly lost, and these statements are affirmed 179 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: uh somewhat in the nine eleven Commission Report. The nine 180 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: eleven Commission Reports says, quote Mike thought the captured plan 181 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: was the perfect operation. It required minimum infrastructure. The plan 182 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: had not been modified so that the tribals would keep 183 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: Bin Laden in a hiding place for up to a 184 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: month before turning him over to the US, thereby increasing 185 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: the chances of keeping the U S hand out of site. 186 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: Mike trusted the information from the Afghan network. It had 187 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: been coordinated and corroborated by other means. The lead CIA 188 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: officer in the field, Gary Schron also had confidence in 189 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: the tribals. In a Maze six cable to c I 190 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: A headquarters, he pronounced their planning almost as professional and 191 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: detailed as would be done by any US military special 192 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: operations unit. The event happened, it took place. The nine 193 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: eleven Commission report even says it did. Shire thinks that 194 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: the ultimate order came from the National Security Council and 195 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: that ladies and gentlemen, happens to be how it has 196 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: portrayed in the movie The The the question that I have, 197 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: the why in the world we're gonna believe the Clinton 198 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: administration and who says the Night eleven Commission is infallible. 199 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: The people that put this movie that, well, I shouldn't 200 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: even have to say this. The people that that that 201 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: that put this movie together probably have a whole bunch 202 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: of sources telling them things. And I'll bet you there 203 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: is somebody out there who knows what really happened, and 204 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: I'll bet they can't come forward. Well bet they can't 205 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: come forward because of a whole bunch of propriety, security, 206 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: anonymity in this sort of thing. Now Here is Michael 207 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: Shire's OpEd I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but 208 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: it's a greadius and excerpts of his op ed that 209 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: was published in the Washington Times on July five of 210 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: this year. Let me read to you the open with 211 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: one credible September eleven movie, United ninety three under our Belts. 212 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see whether the ABC TV 213 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: movie will complete the September eleven Commission's whitewashing of the 214 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: pre September eleventh failure of US intelligence community leaders in 215 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: its forthcoming mini series based on Richard Clark's memoir Against 216 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: All Enemies. Media teasers about the mini series have said 217 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: that Mr Clark, uh and the senior FBI officer to 218 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: late John O'Neill will be the heroes of the saga, 219 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: if true and by the way they are. If true, 220 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: and if ABC's fact checkers are not diligent in verifying 221 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: Mr Clark's stories and claims, the mini series will be 222 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: the September eleven Commission's dream come true. The Bush administration 223 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: will be blamed for September eleven. The feckless, moral cowardice 224 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: of the Clinton administration will be disguised. Mr Clark and 225 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: Mr O'Neill, in my view, two principal authors of nine 226 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: eleven will be be edified. Now again, this is Michael Shyer, 227 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: and he is if he's a regular on Hardball. I 228 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: think what Chris Matthew's favorite guests hates the Bush administration 229 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the way they're doing the war in the Rock. So 230 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't want you to think we got a partisan 231 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: hack writing here. Mr Clark's book. He continues on the 232 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: basis of my involvement to varying degrees and the issues 233 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: it covers. As a mixture of fact fiction and cover up. 234 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: Mr Clark seems to get most names and dates right 235 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: and is correct and damning the early Bush administration for 236 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: obliviousness to the al Qaeda threat. We must also take 237 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: him at his word on his touching, if sycophatic tales 238 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: of Mr Clinton and structing young boy to be good 239 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: to his mom and Hillary Rodham Clinton secluded moment preying 240 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: on her knees. But on the fantasy level, Mr Clark 241 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: lays it on thick. His claim that the Clinton administration 242 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: defeated an Al Qaeda attempt to dominate Bosnia is nonsense. 243 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: Bin Lauden sent few fighters there because he had no 244 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: contiguous safe haven for them. Clark's claimed that the CIA 245 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: had taken months to tell the FBI several hijackers were 246 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: in America is a lie. FBI officers sat in the 247 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: unit that I first commanded and then served in, and 248 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: they read the same information I did. If the data 249 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: didn't get to FBI headquarters, it's because the FBI then 250 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: lacked and still lacks, a usable computer system. The FBI 251 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: did not know the September eleven hijackers were here because 252 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: Judge Louis Free and Robert Muller have failed to provide 253 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: their officers computers that allow them to talk securely. To 254 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: their headquarters and other intelligence community elements about John O'Neill. 255 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: What what what ms? Mr Clark's book is also a 256 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: crucial compliment to the nine eleven commissions fail You're to 257 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: condemn Clinton's failure to capture or kill Bin Lawden on 258 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: any of the eight to ten chances afforded by c 259 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: i A reporting may read that to you again. Mr 260 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: Clark's book is also a crucial compliment to the nine 261 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: eleven panels failure to condemn Mr Clinton's failure to capture 262 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: or kill Bin Lawden on any of the eight to 263 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: ten chances afforded by c i A reporting. Mr Clark 264 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: never mentions that President Bush had no chances to kill 265 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: Bin Laudon before nine eleven, and leaves the readers with 266 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: the false impression that he, Clinton and Sandy Burger did 267 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: their best to end the Bin Lauden threat that Trio, 268 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: in my view, abedded al Qaeda, and if the nine 269 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,239 Speaker 1: eleven families were smart, they would focus on the dereliction 270 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: of Dick Clark, Bill Clinton, and Sandy Burglar and not 271 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: the antics of convicted nine eleven conspirator conspirator Zacharius MUSSAUI 272 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: about John O'Neill, little needs to be said. In my 273 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: own experience on it was interested only in furthering his 274 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: career and disguising the rank incompetence of senior FBI leaders. Now, 275 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: when you hear this, you gotta understand there is a 276 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: constant rivalry battle between the CIA and the FBI. You 277 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: factor that in here. Uh he he once told me 278 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: and the FBI, uh what it would oppose an operation 279 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: to capture Bin Laden and take him to a third 280 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: country for incarceration. When I asked why, he said, why 281 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: should the FBI help to capture Bin Laden if the 282 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: bureau won't get credit among Americans for his arrest and conviction. 283 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: So writes Mr Shier, I look forward to ABC's mini series, 284 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: as well as to seeing the quality of the network's 285 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: fact checkers. If they do their job well, some of 286 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: the September eleven commissions whitewash may start to be peeled 287 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: away if they fail. However, the reality that Bill Clinton, 288 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Richard Clark, Sandy Burglar helped to push Americans out of 289 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: the windows of the World Trade Center on that morning 290 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: will be buried in miles of fantasy filled celluloid. So 291 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: uh if the plot thickens here the event happened. Shire 292 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: has written of it and three times and discussed it 293 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: on air a number of times. Uh, and it apparently 294 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: Well there's more I've got. The clock is ticking away here, ladies, 295 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of other things out there today. 296 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: I just got a couple more uh bits of information 297 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: Dick Morris Peace and some more points to make. But 298 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: this is really, really, really stoblinist. What's going on here? 299 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: This is you know, you remember when Richard Nixon did this? 300 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: Do you? I don't know if you paying attention long 301 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: enough ago. Richard Nixon was was was supposedly threatening broadcast 302 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: license of news divisions that he u he didn't like. 303 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: But this makes Nixon and there's a guy writing about 304 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: this at the American Thinker today, one of our all 305 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: time favorite blogs. Uh, Nixon was a piker. They were 306 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: vilified for this, but I mean it was a piker 307 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: compared to what's going on now. How many of you 308 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: people out there remember George W. Bush being referred to 309 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: as a dictator. He wants to violate everybody's freedoms, he 310 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: wants to violate civil rights, he wants to violate human rights. 311 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: He wants to spy on you with the domestics by 312 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: program um has been called Hitler and so forth. This 313 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: mini series, this dark You drama criticized by sides. Uh 314 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: the irony here, the Clinton administration the Bush administration. Both 315 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: sides did not react the same way. President Bush, who 316 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: has labeled a near dictator, has not said a word 317 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: about the program, hasn't asked for it to be killed, 318 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: hasn't asked for it to be recut. Former President Clinton, 319 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: who we are always told as the greatest president since FDR, 320 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: did do both those things. He did call Iger last Friday, 321 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: by the way, he called Iger personally before this four 322 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: page letter that Bruce Lindsay actually wrote was mailed to 323 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: Igor and Disney this week. Uh. You know, these these 324 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: guys are uh uh beyond they They are they they 325 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: are beyond description. If you want to think about a 326 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: conspiracy to deny the truth and to present a lie, 327 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: take a look at the willing accomplices in the Democratic Party, 328 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system, and the drive by media. And 329 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: now you've got these stolenists and the Democratic Party threatening 330 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: ABC's broadcast licenses. By the way, let me as a network, 331 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: they do not have a broadcast license. The owned and 332 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: operated stations have licenses. Uh and and so they could 333 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: go after ABC has owned and operated stations licenses. And 334 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: those are huge profit centers, Ladies and General's TV stations 335 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: that they own. You know, they spend nothing producing a 336 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: local news. Just put a camera in intersectional re corter wreck, 337 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: put a camera in a poor part of town and 338 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: report a robbery, and that you've got you've got your 339 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: local news. Uh and and so it doesn't cost me. 340 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: So it's it's just those are just huge profit centers. 341 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: Got an idea for these guys. Here's a better way 342 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: to handle this. Leave the movie uncut, Mr President, And 343 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: then when the scene goes by that you don't like, 344 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: have ABC run a graphic this scene not approved by 345 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. And when a scene goes by that you 346 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: do like, have it say this scene approved by Bill Clinton, 347 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: so that every scene in a movie we can get 348 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: ste Clinton stamp of approval or disapproval. And then letting 349 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: Madeline Albright have the same privilege. This scene never happens, 350 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: says Madeleine Albright. And then let Sandy Burglar get in 351 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: on the action too. This scene questioned by Sandy Burglar 352 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: because that's what it appears is going on. Whatever complaints 353 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: these guys have, they are being addressed to one extent 354 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: or another. Now here's Greg Richards at the American Thinker 355 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: dot com. Senators read Durban stab a. Now, Schumer and 356 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: Dorgan sent a letter to Disney today containing the following passages. 357 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: And i've I have I have read you the passages, 358 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: and you know what they are. Now, they're threatening the 359 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: broadcast license. Nixon was a piker. This is a threat 360 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: fall are more direct than ever made by the Knicks 361 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: administration on the TV licenses of the Washington Post about 362 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: which so much was made in the Watergate affair. But 363 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: it is just business as usual for the party that 364 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: thinks they can do what they want without consequence. If 365 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: this had been issued by the Nixon administration, we would 366 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: still be reading about it in the history books as 367 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: the next to last step of a fascist takeover of 368 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: the Republic. And that is that is right on. And 369 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: this is close to what this is. But I have 370 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: to understand again what this represents. It represents the flimsy 371 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: foundation on which the Clinton legacy is built and constructed, 372 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: and it cannot withstand a five hour movie. Number two 373 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: It shows the utter fear and paranoia and panic of 374 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: a Democratic party party that cannot sorry for the faux 375 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: pau I actually did I say that? Did you hear me? 376 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: You're not sure? Are good? A Democratic party who cannot 377 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: stay end for the primary issue this campaign to be 378 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: national security. They can't afford it. That's what scares these Democrats. 379 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: I don't know that. It's so much loyalty to Clinton. 380 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: That's what scares the Demo. They just can't bear for 381 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: this to happen. They have succeeded in whitewashing nine eleven. 382 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: It was only a one episode and it's a long 383 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: time ago. And we're not safe because Bush has botched 384 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: the recovery, but and the and the retaliation for it. 385 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: But they they cannot, they cannot, as a caller said yesterday, 386 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: they cannot dare allow this movie to present the real 387 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: enemy al Qaeda, Islamo fascists. Dick Morris writes about this 388 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: today at Newsmax. The attack by Clinton and his allies 389 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: on the path to nine eleven is outrageous, charges Dick Morris. 390 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: As news Max has reported, Clinton through his surrogates, have 391 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: demanded ABC correct all errors in the docu drama or 392 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: pull it from the air. But Morris claims that Clinton's 393 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: national security adviser, Sandy Burglar and the President himself were 394 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: both responsible for failing to catch her kill Osama bin 395 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: Laden on several different occasions, as claims former CIA agent 396 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: Michael Shier. Morris served Clinton as an adviser for twenty 397 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: years and notably as clinton senior campaign strategious in Morris 398 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: states that the evidence for this failure is documented in 399 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: the nine eleven Commission's report and summarized, and because he 400 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: could the book about Clinton, Morris co aufered with his wife, 401 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: Eileen McGann uh. At any rate, the the report's account 402 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: shows the president and his advisers at their worst. One time, 403 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: US canceled an attempt to kidnap bin Laden out of 404 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: concern we might injure or kill him and be accused 405 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: of using assassination policy as a policy tool. Morris said 406 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: the President had yet to make a finding it was 407 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: okay to kill bin Laden. The reason he had not 408 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: is that he did not yet no bin Laden's connection 409 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: to the ninete Reworld Trade Center bombing, And the reason 410 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: he didn't know is because he didn't fast track the investigation. 411 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: A second time, we did fire missiles, but alerted the 412 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: Pakistani military to our plans and tipped off Bin Lawden. 413 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: They tipped off be laded and the escape. Now this 414 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: is another controversial issue and seen in the movie. According 415 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: to the Commission's report, the US alerted Pakistan because the 416 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: missiles targeting Bin Lawden, who was in Afghanistan, had to 417 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: cross Pakistan, and US officials didn't want Pakistan. I think 418 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: the missiles that came from India. A third time, our 419 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: plan to attack by missile were canceled, partially out of 420 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: chagrin over having missed him before, and partly because we 421 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: had just bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by mistake, 422 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: and we were worried about being called trigger happy. Numerous 423 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: attempts to get a bit laden, and the Clinton administration 424 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: always found a reason not to do it. This Uh, 425 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: this scene that Matt at Olbright doesn't like. We are 426 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: going to launch the missiles into the terrorist camps in Afghanistan. 427 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: They got across Pakistani airspace to get there, uh, and 428 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: somebody had to alert the Pakistani's and they Pakistani's. Somebody 429 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: there then alert had been Latten and he escaped escaped. 430 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: For those of you in real Linda. The movie says 431 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: that it is made at Oldbright that does this, uh, 432 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: that alerts the Pakistani's and Madden at Oldbright in the 433 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: movie says that we we we have to do this 434 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: because the president's intense negotiations with the Palastilians and the 435 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: Israelis on the Middle East peace plan. We have to 436 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: do this. Albright says, I didn't I didn't make the call. 437 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: Somebody else made the call. The event happened. The event happened, 438 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: just like the contested scene about the near capture of 439 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: Bin Laden. It happened. And this is a docu drama. 440 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: And the Clinton administration was an utter failure and they 441 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: can't stand for any light to be shown in cast 442 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: on that, on that failure. Uh. It is, as I say, 443 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: it's illustrative of who they are, how flimsy and feeble 444 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: their legacy is, how teetering on lies and spin their 445 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: legacy is. The Democrats are just playing panicked and fearful 446 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: over the notion that national security as we kind of 447 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: an issue in the campaign. They know they can't possibly 448 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: win on that basis. Speaking of that Washington d C. 449 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: At this moment, is probably going nuts. A two year 450 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee has been concluded report 451 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: issued today. The essence of the report is that there's 452 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: no evidence Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab 453 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: al zar Kawi and his al Qaida associates. Democrats said 454 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: the report under cuts President Bush's justification for going to war. 455 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: The declassified document being released by the Senate Intelligence Committee 456 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: explores the role the inaccurate information supplied by the anti 457 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: Saddam exile group the Iraqi National Congress had in the 458 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: march to war. The long awaited reports, said Senator Carl Levan, 459 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: Democrat Michigan, member of the committee, is a devastating indictment 460 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: of the Bush Cheney administration's unrelenting, misleading and deceptive attempts 461 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: to link Saddam to al Qaida. They have never done that. 462 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: They never link Saddam to nine eleven. Zarkawi was in 463 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: Iraq before we went to nine eleven. Al Qaida was there. 464 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: It's not if it's not in dispute. This report says 465 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: Zarkawi and his presence were not known by said all 466 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: of this is irrelevant. The Democrats want to refight the 467 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: issue of the two thousand four presidential race to go 468 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: into Iraq was a mistake and at Clinton or that 469 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: Bush and the CIA manipulated intelligence along with Cheney in 470 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: order to go to war in Iraq. They can't let 471 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: it go now, they can't let it go, and they 472 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: want to refight the same thing. This is an irrelevant report, 473 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: but the Democrats are screaming, they're happy, Why God we 474 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: got we get something and cover up the nine eleven movie. 475 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: This is this is super seed bush light, bush light. 476 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: We've been telling you what along bush light, bush line, 477 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: we don't need to be in a rock. All kind 478 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: of was not well. The fact the matter is we 479 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: are there now, what's going on there? Is going on there? 480 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: And refighting decisions two and three years ago absolutely pointless 481 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: and Democrats continue to look backwards. And this is why 482 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: they are untrustworthy with this nation's national security.
