The 9/11 hearings sound good on paper. Investigate the intelligence and leadership problems that led to 9/11, with the aim of improving our battle against the Islamic fascists. Who could argue against that?

The trouble is, it’s turned into a disgraceful partisan circus, with Bush administration officials being disrespectfully shouted at as if they were Watergate criminals by grandstanding Democrat hatchet men, and regular eruptions of applause from the peanut gallery at the worst attacks. And meanwhile, Al Gore and Bill Clinton are questioned behind closed doors, away from the cameras and microphones.

It’s the most dishonest process I think I’ve ever seen, and it turns my stomach to see this going on in the midst of a war.

And the media is doing their best to smear and blame and distort; their anti-Bush, anti-American agenda has come completely out into the open.

Case in point: Bush Memo Included Possible Plot Warning.

WASHINGTON - President Bush’s August 2001 briefing on terror threats included information that federal agents were investigating reports three months earlier about a possible plot on U.S. soil. And, it said, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden’s desire to strike inside America surfaced as long as four years before Bush took office, according to several people who have seen the memo

“According to … people who have seen the memo?” There was absolutely nothing secret about Osama Bin Laden’s fatwa against the United States. He declared war in 1996, during the Clinton presidency, and nobody cared.

We’re witnessing the most gigantic attempted railroad job in US history. If anyone is to blame for falling asleep on watch, it’s Clinton—who did absolutely nothing about an open declaration of war against the United States.
