Panel to question US Presidents (911)

[XNASA]

Heard this on the radio on the way in. What are the chances that his handlers will ever let w* testify? I'm thinking, nil.

"George W Bush and Bill Clinton are expected to appear before an independent commission investigating the September 11 attacks.

The US President and his predecessor will have to explain what they knew about al-Qaida terror plots, and what was done to combat them.

The panel is looking at what might have been done to prevent the 2001 terror strikes in New York and Washington."

1. Rule #1 for Bush family - NEVER be placed under oath.

They will never do it unless it's fixed 100% in their favor.

2. Interesting point when you consider

how many times they should have been placed under oath.

3. The tide has turned,

if they are talking about bush* or cheney or any of the other administration officials being questioned about 9-11, then the tide has really turned.

Bill Clinton would bury bush* with all the info that he and his administration has about terrorism.

4. Loius Freeh should be questioned...wonder why he is quietly left alone?

5. Can you imagine?

How lucid and intelligent Clinton would sound, explaining the steps he took to combat terrorism and protect America?

...And imagine * trying to talk about anything complicated off-book... :eyes:

6. They would never allow either to do this...

...for obvious reasons- both would implicate Bush.

[Demobrat]

7. This is great news.

Once Clinton starts talking, W's done.

8. George isn't used to be held accountable

for ANYTHING

We'll see but isn't it odd that the Brits have already finished their investigation of the intel on the War on Iraq, NASA (sorry) had and investigation STARTED before all the parts had fallen to Earth, but it has been 21 months and no one here seems to concerned about what happened on 9/11. Ridiculous.

I don't know if he will tesitify but at least I would expect them to ask for the questions ahead of time and I doubt the media will press him to testify.

Plus with the WHOPPING $3 Million budget for the investigation and the already stated scope being "not to really get anyone in trouble" it looks like a whitewash with the "Blame Clinton" crowd and "Praise W for his leadersip" numbskulls issuing a statement that is pre-determined. Oh and they will blame it all on the CIA so as to imply the Iraq intel LIES were their fault too.
