      This was obvious from the beginning. Le Muffette and cohorts don't give a damn about anything but putting money in their pockets and driving the U.S. into a depression. The dumbest bunch ever to be put in any position.

        So the question is was Rice and company really this incompetent? Or did they really hope this would be the "New Pearl Harbor" that would get the populace to back their PNAC agenda of imperialism.

          The facts of this administration being criminally negligent in their duties to protect this nation have been out there for years. problem is, the faux media didn't put the dots together in an understandable manner for the ignorant masses.

            So wha else is new? Condi is lousy, Bush is lousy, Cheney is lousy,... The list goes on and on.

            They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

            Meaning up to and including the death penalty if their crimes warrant them.

            Which with all the innocents that have died for their greed is not enough.

            They need to forfeit their wealth as well sionce it is ill gotten gain from murder and acts of terrorism.

            Try them in a court of law for the heinous criminals they are.

              I listened to a good part of the 9/11 Commission Hearings (much to the dismay of my boss). She came off as a complete & total idiot: couldn't understand why a document titled "Osama bin Laden Determined To Attack In The United States" was important.
