Not to mention that some guys tried to blow the WTC up back in 1993. It's a shame that the US administration at the time never got around to actually catching the guys behind the plot. And, oddly enough, the guy who's out there complaining loudly about how the Bush administration didn't eliminate al-Qaeda in eight months hadn't bothered to seriously go after them in the previous eight *years*... but he had cyberterrorism to chase after. Clinton went after bin laden and every time he did you repugs scoffed at him for blowing up aspirin factories and wagging the dog, That is all he accomplished. -- Sleep well tonight.........RD (The Sandman) http://home.comcast.net/~rdsandman "The fatal attraction of government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves."

For years the FAA had been asking the airlines to put locks on the cockpit door, like the Israelies do. They also prohibited guns in the cockpit since 1986. -- Sleep well tonight.........RD (The Sandman) http://home.comcast.net/~rdsandman "The fatal attraction of government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves."

"Al Dykes" wrote in message ... The FBI/CIA/FAA culture that prevented the sharing of information help. So did that fact that as of Spring 01 Ashcroft didn't have terrorist on his list of the 7 highest priority issues, and that Bush slashed the FBI terrorism budget buy a billiion in the summer of 01. All of this was reported in the public press before 9/11/01. I bet It wasn't reported on Fox Cable News. Actually, what Fox is reporting today is a bit different from your take on the issue. Interestingly enough, the same Mr. Clark who has been lately trashing the current administration for its alleged lack of attention to AQ before 9-11 was singing quite a different tune in August 2002, when he was tape recorded by reporters saying: "...there was no plan on Al Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration. Second point is that the Clinton administration had a strategy in place, effectively dating from 1998... And in January 2001, the incoming Bush administration was briefed on the existing strategy. They were also briefed on these series of issues that had not been decided on in a couple of years. And the third point is the Bush administration decided then, you know, mid-January, to do two things. One, vigorously pursue the existing policy, including all of the lethal covert action findings, which we've now made public to some extent. And the point is, while this big review was going on, there were still in effect, the lethal findings were still in effect. The second thing the administration decided to do is to initiate a process to look at those issues which had been on the table for a couple of years and get them decided. So, point five, that process which was initiated in the first week in February, uh, decided in principle, uh in the spring to add to the existing Clinton strategy and to increase CIA resources, for example, for covert action, five-fold, to go after Al Qaeda. The sixth point, the newly-appointed deputies - and you had to remember, the deputies didn't get into office until late March, early April. The deputies then tasked the development of the implementation details, uh, of these new decisions that they were endorsing, and sending out to the principals. Over the course of the summer - last point - they developed implementation details, the principals met at the end of the summer, approved them in their first meeting, changed the strategy by authorizing the increase in funding five-fold, changing the policy on Pakistan, changing the policy on Uzbekistan, changing the policy on the Northern Alliance assistance. And then changed the strategy from one of rollback with Al Qaeda over the course [of] five years, which it had been, to a new strategy that called for the rapid elimination of al Qaeda. That is in fact the timeline." Followed by specific questions addressed to Mr. Clark that included: JIM ANGLE: You're saying that the Bush administration did not stop anything that the Clinton administration was doing while it was making these decisions, and by the end of the summer had increased money for covert action five-fold. Is that correct? CLARKE: All of that's correct. ANGLE: Now the five-fold increase for the money in covert operations against Al Qaeda - did that actually go into effect when it was decided or was that a decision that happened in the next budget year or something? CLARKE: Well, it was gonna go into effect in October, which was the next budget year, so it was a month away. QUESTION: That actually got into the intelligence budget? CLARKE: Yes it did. QUESTION: Just to clarify, did that come up in April or later? CLARKE: No, it came up in April and it was approved in principle and then went through the summer. And you know, the other thing to bear in mind is the shift from the rollback strategy to the elimination strategy. When President Bush told us in March to stop swatting at flies and just solve this problem, then that was the strategic direction that changed the NSPD from one of rollback to one of elimination. How different all of this is from what Clark has been saying of late. You are concerned over an alleged major decrease to the FBI "terrorism budget" (and your cite for that is...? Ignoring the fact that by that time all of the the money in the world added to that budget would not have stopped 9-11 from happening...), while Clark acknowledges that the folks at the pointy end of the spear were in line to get a five-fold increase in their supporting funding, and that the Bush administration had as Clark put it at the time, "When President Bush told us in March to stop swatting at flies and just solve this problem, then that was the strategic direction that changed the NSPD from one of rollback to one of elimination." I've had my share of beefs with "FauxNews", but this time they have hit the nail on the head, and they have it on tape to prove it. Mr. Clark's "background" comments are coming back to prove him to be what some administration sources have indeed labled him over the last few days--a man disgruntled over his failure to secure a promotion he thought he deserved, and who has let that animosity turn him into an out-and-out liar in regards to his latest comments.

Before 911 if a hijack had taken place ,even with locked doors , the pilots would have open the doors when a couple of attendents had their necks cut. Hind sight is always wonderful but before 911 every pilot would have fiqured on a normal hijack and taking of the plane. Open the doors and fly the plane to where ever they wished was the rule and had happened many times in the past. I wonder what training Israeli pilots are given. I bet they are told to never open the door. And frankly, as a pilot, if suddenly the Stu's stopped responding to calls on the PA system, or worse, I heard screams, I'd _NEVER_ open the door. I'd declare an emergancy and head for the nearest runway. That sounds like a no brainer. There are grim scenarios here, but ex-military pilots are used to that. And others can be trained. Someone said that looking at an evet after the fact is like looking out a clean rear view mirror... But at the time, your looking at events through a dirty windshield in a fog with no lights....

One thing I haven't figured out is how Israeli pilots take a ****. -- Al Dykes ----------- -- Al Dykes ----------- |
