Wes Clark Bashes the GOPs "Path to 11/7" with Truth
Thu Sep 07, 2006 at 09:24:41 AM PDT
The Walt Disney film,
"The Path to 9/11" to be aired on ABC will be principle strategic offensive for the GOPs
"Path to 11/7". But yesterday, Wesley Clark confronted the charge and initiated a counter-offensive with the truth.
The Walt Disney Company disgraceful attempt to politicise the tragic day of 9/11 with its "documentary" or "mockumentary" is wholely un-American! Should this air, ABC will be complicit with Disney's fantasies of deceit for the Bush Administration. In its alliance with FOX, Walt Disney and ABC, the Bush administration and his Neo-Cons are engaged in a desperate, yet coordinated offensive to save face for the GOP in 11/7 -- the November 2006 midterm elections.
But yesterday, their "grand" strategy was made even clearer when on Fox News, Neil Cavuto plugged Rove's arsenal of talking points to blame the
"path to terrorism" on the Clinton administration.
But in an interview on Fox News, Wes Clark masterfully countered Rove's "Path to 11/6" from the initial assault by Neil Cavuto. Even as Cavuto tried TWICE to assault Clark with the Rove's talking points Wes Clark debunked every charge with truth concerning the incidents around 1993 WTC attack and the 2000 USS Cole attack.
In truth, the "Path to 9/11" was paved by this Administration, under its watch!!

Excerpts::
.
Neil Cavuto: So, so General, who incentivized the USS Cole attack? Who incentivized the '93 attack on the World Trade Center?
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, you're- now you've just changed the question. ...We did not have to attack Iraq. What we could have done is focused on Afghanistan and finished the job in Afghanistan, but Neil, we didn't do that. You realize when we went into Afghanistan, we left Afghanistan again after only a couple of months. We left 8,000 combat troops there. They- we did none of the reconstruction. We didn't help the Afghan people recreate their economy. It had been devastated -- by the Soviets. So, we left a problem.
The Path to 9/11 :: A Dereliction of Duty by the POTUS
Neil Cavuto: again plugs GOP points:: "....We didn't respond to the USS Cole in any measurable way. We didn't respond to the '93 attacks on the World Trade Center in any way. So, is it just because this President's a Republican that you're bashing him and the prior one was not that you're not.
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: No. It has nothing to do with that. In fact, you know, the people who attacked us at the World Trade Center, we arrested them. We broke up that ring. As far as the Cole attacks were concerned, a complete plan was worked up. By the time they had worked the plan up, it was December of 2000. The administration was about to go out of office. A Republican was going to come in. I think Richard Clarke has told the full story of passing on a 20pg Plan along with all the details to the National Security Advisor Condeleeza Rice. They never got a hearing.
This President went on vacation in August of 2001, despite the warnings that Al Qaeda was trying to attack the United States-without ever summoning his cabinet officers together.
That's dereliction!
: War on Terrorism :: Clinton (Dems) vs Bush (Neocons):
Neil Cavuto: "... There were plenty of warnings in plenty of prior attacks and enough blame to go around in plenty of prior administrations, both Democrat and Republican, but what bothers ...//... is that nothing is acknowledged about how 5 years after we were attacked in this country, we have not been attacked again in this country. Would it have killed any of you at this presser today to have at least acknowledged that?"
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK:
[The DEMS and CLINTON]
(i) "Well, Senator Harry Reid did acknowledge the fact that we haven't been attacked. ...
(ii) In 1999, (but) we got word and intercepted a terrorist group that was trying to attack Los Angeles Airport for New Years of 2000.
(iii) We broke that attack up.
(iv) We had an effective White House Counter-terrorism Strategy that was coordinating the agencies. ..."
[The NEOCONs and BUSH]
(i) That strategy fell apart in the early months of the Bush administration. You can talk to the people. It's a matter of record.
(ii) This administration wanted to focus on WMDs coming from North Korea.
(iii) They wanted to focus on an ABM.
(iv) They did not focus on the problem of terrorism,... until it was too late.
(v) And then they took us to a war we didn't have to fight in Iraq that has made the problem more difficult to come to terms with...."
======
The tragic day of 9/11 was not a failure of "intelligence"; rather, it was a failure of leadership by this President. 9/11 happened on the President's watch!!
As Clark charged, President Bush was derelict of duty to protect Americans!! The events "leading to" the "Path to 9/11" is more about the events "consequent to" Bush's 2001 Inauguration as POTUS.
Sadly, ABCs' (for The Walt Disney Co.) airing of "Path to 9/11" is part of this Presidents' grand deception of facts and truths to once again misinform and mislead the American public, which will once again make our country less safer and compromise our efforts to fight the real war on "terrorism."

Join General Clark, as he leads us to take back the HILL in 11/7!!

[Update] Upon advise below, my post here is an extension of souldrifts terrific blog, Wes Clark comes out with Guns Blazing. But in my view, it presents a distinct perspective towards the intent behind the GOPs attempt to air "The Path to 9/11"; which is why I chose to posted this at length, as a seperate blog.
