ORIGINAL: Sanity Do you have any idea how big the United States is? What are you thinking, that maybe Bush should have had all the Arabic looking people that were here at the time rounded up and placed into concentration camps? There wasn't anything specific that had reached the White House, and the 'actionable items" that you're referring to (for whatever unknowable reason) had to do with Afghanistan, and not the United States. If there is anything logical about your post it isn't clear. quote:
ORIGINAL: eyesopened Even better is this snippet: RICE: So we were not presented -- I just want to be very clear on this, because it's been a source of controversy -- we were not presented with a plan. KERREY: Well, that's not true. It is not... RICE: We were not presented. We were presented with... KERREY: I've heard you say that, Dr. Clarke, that 25 January, 2001, memo was declassified, I don't believe... RICE: That January 25 memo has a series of actionable items having to do with Afghanistan, the Northern Alliance. I'm sorry but isn't a "series of actionable items" sorta the same thing as a plan?? Having lived on one coast and then the other from San Diego to Charleston, SC and from Minnesota to Florida, yes, I know how big the United States is. As I recall, after 9/11 Bush invaded Afghanistan becuase they were the source country for the attack on the US, Al Queda training in Afghanistan. I stupidly assume that's why we are there now and why we Shocked n Awed them in the first place. So a list of actionable items (which is by all the gods still a PLAN) regarding Afghanistan should have perhaps been taken seriously. Condi was trying to say that Clinton didn't tell them what to do so they did nothing. Not being privy to the list of actionable items (i.e. plan) I could not say what Bush should have done other than to maybe read the actionable items and the intelligence brief regarding the plan to attack the US. Just sayin.
