Oh Good: Screaming Liberal Diane Feinstein To Chair Senate Intelligence Committee

Proof • December 16, 2008

Oh, boy.
I fell better about the future of this country now:

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been tapped as the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday, a post that would give her immense clout over U.S. intelligence agencies and the power to shape policies on wiretapping and the treatment of detainees.

Okay, so maybe I’m wrong and the fact that she a shrieking, hair-on-fire liberal won’t have anything to do with the way she handles the safety and security of America. Maybe she’ll put aside her partisan (leftist) interests and strengthen our intelligence agencies. Maybe she’ll encourage continued aggressive action and encourage pre-emptive strikes against terrorists.
And maybe, just maybe Sandra Bullock will call me. Hey, it could happen.
Yeesh.
Diane Feinsten to chair the Senate Intelligence Committee. Yikes.

“Maybe she will ask our next president to actually read PDB’s…”

Bush did read them he was the one that asked for them.

“First of all, yes, the August 6th PDB was in response to questions of the president — and that since he asked that this be done. It was not a particular threat report. And there was historical information in there about various aspects of al-Qaida’s operations.”

Unfortunately there was no specific information that would have led to 9/11 being stopped.

“RICE: You said, did it not warn of attacks. It did not warn of attacks inside the United States. It was historical information based on old reporting. There was no new threat information. And it did not, in fact, warn of any coming attacks inside the United States.”

The one good thing about Dianne Feinstein is that she’s not a Maoist lunatic thug like Barbara Boxer.

I well remember DiFi’s handling of the “Nightstalker” shoes. Seems Mr “nightstalker” decided LA was too hot for him so he moved his act to San. Fran. LA had informed the SF cops that he was wearing a certain type of shoes. When soleprints of said shoes turned up outside murder scenes in SF the cops had a huge clue with which to catch the guy. That is till DiFi, publicity hog that she is, went on TV and broadcast the thing about the shoes. The cops were furious, as the guy related after his, no thanks to DiFi, capture that he’d immediately thrown the “shoe clues” away. Intelligence committee my ass, gossip circle more like it.

And Raygun armed the Mujahideen and Taliban..

To fight the Soviets, who were our major enemy at the time, and who intended to destroy us. Nice lying cherry-pick, as usual.

HB……a question. Not that I think the Bush people are this smart. But do you think that they started the fight in Iraq because they felt that in Afghanistan they would get bogged down like the Russians? In Iraq they were able to get the Al-Queida in the open and decimate them. Just a thought…

…giving terrorist entities the impression that the USA was ripe for picking.

Clinton’s cowardice in Somalia was also a big part of that. He left our guys to die, then ran away.

Some people simply do not understand how classified information is handled. They might read: PEARL HARBOR FINAL JUDGEMENT by Henry C. Clausen and Bruce Lee published by Crown Publishers. Therein is contained an excellent description of how Top Secret information is handled, how it is protected and who it is not “leaked” to. Even mentioning the knowledge of such information is a breach of security. This is something the New York Times has been guilty of on numerous occasions, along with several liberal journalists.

Nine months is a long time. If bush’s arrogant a-holes hadn’t ignored the work done by the Clinton admin, we may not have had 9/11.

Go read some history. The case was meticulously dissected and it was determined that at least four years was devoted to planning, training, imbedding.

Could you kindly specify the “work” done by the Bucksnort administration? I can’t find anything on the search engines or history sites making any mention of “work” done. They do, however, make much of the non-action and reaction to prior acts by terrorists, giving terrorist entities the impression that the USA was ripe for picking.

Kurt: This is the messy thing about freedom. Instead of trying to command the people, we might do better at informing them. We did a lousy job of informing them about the truth about Obama, and look what we got.
Hungry Bear

And Raygun armed the Mujahideen and Taliban…who are we fighting today?

And we never would have had to arm the Mujahideen if fellow travelers in the Democrat party hadn’t betrayed American interests to the Soviets during the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, giving the Soviets advantages they otherwise would not have enjoyed.
Hungry Bear

Who were Carter and Clinton fighting?

Carter was fighting our allies wherever he could find them. These include the Shaw of Iran, and anti-communists all over Latin America.

Clinton fought the Serbians, allying the United States with the Al Queida trained KLA.

Feinstein? Intelligence? Not a match. The woman is dumb as dirt, and crooked as a dog’s hind leg. She’ll fit right in to the Obamunist administration.

True, no new laws are needed, but there are a vast majority of people that lack the required thinking skills and keep returning these clown in office. That is frightening!

I can still remember Hans Blix saying there were no WMDs right before bush told them to leave. They were screwing up bush’s plans to show the world what a warrior he was since he spent his military service period strapped to a gurney in an Alabama drug rehab facility.
Hungry Bear

AQ went from a small, local organization to a powerful, worldwide movement during the Nineties, during the Clinton Presidency, moron. Carter created what will soon be a nuclear Iran. Try to keep up with the facts.

Let us not forget that it was Carter and Clinton who negotiated the deals that basically kept the Kim family mafia running North Korea, and it was the Clinton 96 campaign that supplied American nuke technology to the Chinese.

From Senator Clinton’s Senate floor speech in 2002

In 1998, the United States also changed its underlying policy toward Iraq from containment to regime change and began to examine options to effect such a change, including support for Iraqi opposition leaders within the country and abroad.

In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.

link http://clinton.senate.gov/speeches/iraq_101002.html sorry about the facts DINO but you are one dumbass. Everyone thought back then that he had those WMD’s. By the way…what are your favorite blogs? The ones that can show me how to think like you.
http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

Also, no matter how many times it’s pointed out, intelligence agencies from arond the world were convinced that Saddam had WMD’s.

This is not actually true. It’s certainly not true within our own intelligence agencies. Nor is it true according to the inspectors who were actually there in Iraq just days before bush cut and run in Tora Bora (where our generals knew Osama…ya know the guy who actually did plan the attack on us) was and invaded a country that did not and could not attack us.

She’ll probably do better than the bush intelligence crew that let 9/11 happen and provided fake intelligence about WMDs.
Hungry Bear

Me:

We suffered multiple attacks under Clinton’s watch: World Trade Center, African embassy bombings, Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia, and the USS Cole. Clinton’s response was to go to war with Serbia, a country fighting the KLA which were clients of Al Queida.

Maybe Clinton thought that Al Queida would stop hating us if we took out some of their targets for them.

Nine months is a long time. If bush’s arrogant a-holes hadn’t ignored the work done by the Clinton admin, we may not have had 9/11. But bush was too busy taking vacations. he thought he was regan or something, going to the ranch to “clear brush”.

Besides, isn’t it you brainstems who are blaming Obama for the economic crisis and he hasn’t even taken office yet?

The avatar is an homage to conservatism!
robert108

…the bush intelligence crew that let 9/11 happen…

Another lie from you. Clinton enabled 9/11 by ignoring AQ after they bombed the WTC in ’93, and then systematically gutted our defense and intel capabilities throughout his reign, and created the wall of separation between the CIA and the FBI that allowed the hijackers to be in this country undetected. They entered during the Clinton era.
You are living up to your self-portrait, dino.
robert108

Bottom line: We suffered a huge attack on bush’s watch.

That was enabled by Clinton on his “watch”. Clinton had eight years to stop the terrorists; President Bush had eight months, without a budget and with a military and intel capabilities gutted by Clinton. Keep lying; you can’t change the facts here.

Carter was also fighting our energy producers, American consumers who he told to “do with less”, and our highway drivers with the 55 mph mandate.

I think the evidence that Bush and Blair had to work with suggested that Iraq had WMDs, and would reconstitute it’s nucelar program. I think there was a genuine fear that Saddam would supply WMDs and funding to terrorists.

Remember, during that period before we went into Iraq, Saddam was paying suicide bombers to blow themselves up in Israel. Israelis were being killed and having arms and legs blown of on almost a daily basis. I don’t think it took a lot of imagination to put 2 and 2 together:

Irq funds terrorists + Iraq wants WMD = Something big

Maybe Bush was wrong, but I think he went into Iraq trying to keep a mushroom cloud from forming over NYC.
Hungry Bear

Everyone thought back then that he had those WMD’s.

Saddam wanted his subjects and his neighbors to think he had WMDs, so the reason he gave for not complying with the peace agreement was that he was trying to fool the Iraqis and Iranians.

That’s if you buy the whole “there were no WMDs argument.”

The fact is that WMDs were found, but not in the quantities expected, and much of what was found was out of date.

Plus there’s the whole issue of what materials were shipped to Syria in the weeks leading up to Gulf War II. A lot of intelligence points to that material being the basis of the Syrian WMD program.

And bush started a war with Iraq though they had nothing to do with 9/11.

And bush started a war with Iraq Lie #1: We liberated the Iraqi people by deposing a murdering dictator. The war was with Saddam Hussein and AQ, which was already in Iraq. though they had nothing to do with 9/11. Germany didn’t attack us until after we entered WWII, either; it’s called military strategy, moron. We created a modern free country in the middle of the medieval ME, a brilliant blow against terrorism.

Nice self portrait for you avatar. That being said, you said this:

I know that fcats aren’t the strong suit of the left, but 9/11 happened less than 9 months into Bush’s first term.

The planning had taken most of Clinton’s presidency.

Also, no matter how many times it’s pointed out, intelligence agencies from arond the world were convinced that Saddam had WMD’s.

bushco failed us.

Another lie from you; President Bush has kept us safe from the terrorists you support for over seven years. Clinton enabled 9/11, while gutting the intel capabilities that would have revealed the hijackers’ presence in the US. You lefties fail us every day, in your insane lust for power. Your social engineering has failed us, your wasteful social spending is threatening to bankrupt the best economic system in human history, and your Obamunist is about to fail us by appeasing the terrorists. Nice work, liar.

Washington, D.C., February 10, 2005 – The National Security Archive today posted the widely-debated, but previously unavailable, January 25, 2001, memo from counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke to national security advisor Condoleezza Rice – the first terrorism strategy paper of the Bush administration. The document was central to debates in the 9/11 hearings over the Bush administration’s policies and actions on terrorism before September 11, 2001. Clarke’s memo requests an immediate meeting of the National Security Council’s Principals Committee to discuss broad strategies for combating al-Qaeda by giving counterterrorism aid to the Northern Alliance and Uzbekistan, expanding the counterterrorism budget and responding to the U.S.S. Cole attack. Despite Clarke’s request, there was no Principals Committee meeting on al-Qaeda until September 4, 2001.

The January 25, 2001, memo, recently released to the National Security Archive by the National Security Council, bears a declassification stamp of April 7, 2004, one day prior to Rice’s testimony before the 9/11 Commission on April 8, 2004. Responding to claims that she ignored the al-Qaeda threat before September 11, Rice stated in a March 22, 2004 Washington Post op-ed, “No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the new administration.”

Two days after Rice’s March 22 op-ed, Clarke told the 9/11 Commission, “there’s a lot of debate about whether it’s a plan or a strategy or a series of options — but all of the things we recommended back in January were those things on the table in September. They were done. They were done after September 11th. They were all done. I didn’t really understand why they couldn’t have been done in February.”

Also attached to the original Clarke memo are two Clinton-era documents relating to al-Qaeda. The first, “Tab A December 2000 Paper: Strategy for Eliminating the Threat from the Jihadist Networks of al-Qida: Status and Prospects,” was released to the National Security Archive along with the Clarke memo. “Tab B, September 1998 Paper: Pol-Mil Plan for al-Qida,” also known as the Delenda Plan, was attached to the original memo, but was not released to the Archive and remains under request with the National Security Council.
