Anyone watching Wolfowitz testify in front of the Armed Services Committe
on C-SPAN today?

Wanna make a bet he starts telling happy Iraqi stories instead of answering questions?

8. Or Goss's breakfast
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 03:20 PM by DoYouEverWonder
with ISI Chief Mahmoud Ahmad on the morning of 9-11. Ahmad is the guy who gave Mohammed Atta $100,000 the week before the attack.

15. He was with Sen Bob Graham that morning
http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO206A.html

Eight months later on the 18th of May, two days after the "BUSH KNEW" headline hit the tabloids, the Washington Post published an article on Porter Goss, entitled: "A Cloak But No Dagger; An Ex-Spy Says He Seeks Solutions, Not Scapegoats for 9/11". Focussing on his career as a CIA agent, the article largely served to underscore the integrity and commitment of Porter Goss to waging a "war on terrorism". Yet in an isolated paragraph, the article acknowledged the mysterious 9-11 breakfast meeting with ISI Chief Mahmoud Ahmad, while also confirming that "Ahmad :ran a spy agency notoriously close to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban":

"Now the main question facing Goss, as he helps steer a joint House-Senate investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks, is why nobody in the far-flung intelligence bureaucracy -- 13 agencies spending billions of dollars -- paid attention to the enemy among us. Until it was too late.

Goss says he is looking for solutions, not scapegoats. "A lot of nonsense," he calls this week's uproar about a CIA briefing that alerted President Bush, five weeks before Sept. 11, that Osama bin Laden's associates might be planning airline hijackings.

"None of this is news, but it's all part of the finger-pointing," Goss declared yesterday in a rare display of pique. "It's foolishness."

(...) Goss has repeatedly refused to blame an "intelligence failure" for the terror attacks. As a 10-year veteran of the CIA's clandestine operations wing, Goss prefers to praise the agency's "fine work."

(...)

On the morning of Sept. 11, Goss and Graham were having breakfast with a Pakistani general named Mahmud Ahmed -- the soon-to-be-sacked head of Pakistan's intelligence service. Ahmed ran a spy agency notoriously close to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. 17

7. Wolfie's vision of Pax Americana is Global War.
And specifically, the request for "funding flexibility" scares me.
The civilian management of our military are incrementally removing, or attempting to remove, any of the checks and balances inherent in our federal structure.

17. The repugs make me sick: There are connections between AlQaida and
Saddam according to the 9/11 report. AlZarkawai in the north of Iraq was tolerated and maybe sponsored by Saddam...wasn't the north the part he could not touch because of the no fly zone????
