The Hits Keep On Coming

++Once the fat hit the fire,democratic blogs have been reposting declassified documents on Bin Laden's plot against the United States. Some of this I knew before but it is useful to remember.

++Bin Laden vowed revenge after the United States bombed his camps in 1999. The so-called Millennium plot thwarted by the Canadians was thought to be his first attempt. More intelligence became highly specific about his desire to go after the World Trade Center again. The plot got more detailed with plans shared with the White House about the plot to highjack commercial jets and plunge them into the towers. What was missing was the other element of plowing into the Pentagon and the other into the Capital.

++To all this, Dick Cheney, then head of the terrorism task force, said,"Bin Laden was bluffing."

++With both the Donald and Ben Carson clumsily scoring points against Jeb Bush,the questions keep being raised about the origins of our war against Terror.

++Odd that this should re-emerge in 2015,except we have never held any of those responsible accountable.
