You're right to wonder, and if you look hard enough you might find the biggest threat to the USA has been those in power who lacked the intestinal fortitude to protect us from outside threat ( read Clinton).

Bush may have made mistakes, but at least he had the guts to take action designed to protect our people.  Now if he would just work on securing the border.

ABC Drama Marks 50th Anniversary of 9/11
by Scott Ott

(2051-09-11) — As part of the nation’s month-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, ABC television tonight will show an educational drama called ‘The Path from 9/11‘.

The docudrama recounts the initial resistance to global jihad mounted by the infidels of the former United States of America in the immediate aftermath of the great martyrdom operation.

But then the tide turns in favor of the budding Islamic caliphate (Allah be praised!). As memories of the 2001 attacks fade, world opinion turns against the Great Satan. Then the Great Satan turns on itself, consumed from within by a toxic combination of political ambition and cowardice masquerading as tolerance.

The Path from 9/11: A Triumph of the Will illustrates the righteousness of Usama Bin Laden’s cause, and how his unswerving commitment to jihad ensured the establishment of our glorious global Caliphate, upon which today the sun never sets.

The program begins tonight at 7 p.m., right after Chief Justice al-Zawahiri leads Sunset Prayer Live from the National Mosque and just before a very special episode of American Idol.

The Path from 9/11, includes a scholastic study guide for boys, and is required viewing for all subjects of the Islamic Republic of America.

Advanced overnight ratings indicate the show will notch a 100 share and shall win its timeslot.

they are ones that blow themselves up on buses/malls filled with women and children, fly planes into 110 story buildings in NYC, ram refueling ships with torpedo laden runabouts, behead innocents on tv, scream Israel needs to be wiped from the face of the earth, are trying to build a nuke to use against the west or at least strong arm their future positions with it, have decided if you do not believe in their beliefs: you must die, would like nothing more than to see the US and her allies downgraded to third world country status more screwed up than their own - just to name a few of their identifying & enduring qualities...

[eagl]

You're talking about California, right Eagler?  Or is it DC?  I get those two konfused sometimes

[red26]

If the Clinton Admin. wasnt in the wroung then why did they make such a big deal to stop it.<--- the Brodcast

Thats bad they can catch the Brodcast but they couldnt at least stop the attack's on 9/11 or notify the next Admin.???

I served under the Clinton Admin. I hated serving at that time. The Military didnt get crap for support. Clinton was too Busy banning guns

klinton who said "i never had sex with that women, not one time" accuses ABC of lying.


HAHAHAHAHA.

[Stang]

Here's a thought, how bout we all just watch it in it's original form and then everyone can have an honest debate about what's in it...

Even a film like Tora Tora Tora took licenses, but got the gist of it right.  Everything I've heard about this 9/11 film appears to be the same.

This stinks.

HAHAHAHAHA.

he is teh xpurt
u cud hav probubly lurnd a lot abowt flieing frum Dick Bong, woo wus ground'd 4 teh unsayf flieing & daided in uh kresh:rofl

[Seagoon]

I agree, Stang.

I've had to watch any number of historical pieces that I thought took outrageous license with actual events, some of which made me hopping mad after watching them. However, I would never argue that the film-maker did not have the right to make them or that we should use political pressure to slice them up or shut them down.

That after all is the way things would work in the Caliphate we are supposedly attempting to prevent from being created. Theo Van Gogh and the Danes found out what happens when you present history in a way that offends the umma of the future Eurabia, I'd rather we didn't start operating according to the same rules.

What the Hell are you talking about, and why would you want to disparage the top scoring U.S. ace of all time?

[Debonair]

ABC could learn a thing or two from President Clinton about lying, regardless of his repeatedly getting caught in the act, just as any of us could receive education on the topic of flying from Major Bong, who was grounded after the Golden Gate Bridge incident & died in an aircraft of which he was PIC

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

You do know that Bong didn't cause the P-80 he was flying to crash when he was killed, don't you? He was a test pilot and the plane failed on take off. Hardly a valid comparison, and there's no need at all to disparage Bong, or even mention him in the same breath as Bill Clinton.

As good as Bong was, I'd take lessons from him any day.

[Shuckins]

911 was possible because of bureaucratic ineptness, government indifference, and the kissy-kissy approach to foreign policy engaged in by the State Department during the 1990s.

MSNBC shouldn't cave or waffle on a subject this important, if they really want to make an accurate documentary.  Let the chips fly.  Lay the blame where it deserves to be laid, regardless of the party line.  Republicans or Democrats makes no difference to me.

Or is journalistic integrity an oxymoron?

[Eagler]

its just slick & his buddies trying to protect his "legacy"

of course the majority of 9/11 happened on clintons watch, that is a logistical fact - can't blame the guy for not wanting that fact to be shown in a simplified format many of his voters could understand - a television mini-series ...

[Arlo]

I'm pretty sure logistical facts weren't what was being challenged.
