More On Our Next Secretary Of Defense

It would seem that all the smoke blown forth by the Clintonoid Left comes from all the smoking guns that they keep disposing of just in the nick of time:

Here is an interesting tidbit (H/T JammieWearingFool - an interesting up and coming blog site) on how the CIA was alerted by the French as early as January 2001 (that would be still under Clinton’s administration in essence) regarding Bin Laden’s plans to highjack airplanes in the US - something they French knew early in 2000:

France’s Le Monde newspaper said it had obtained 328 pages of classified documents on Osama bin Laden’s terror network that were drawn up by the French foreign intelligence service, the DGSE, between July 2000 and October 2001.

Emphasis mine. The way the government works is material is ‘drawn up’ after it has been analyzed and vetted. This puts the evidence coming out possibly early 2000. Now by coincidence this is the time frame the infamous Richard Clark document was being passed around the NSC for comment - the same document which Sandy Bergler stole from the National Archives and shredded in his office. It would make sense that whatever the French detected not only did they pass it on to Clinton’s CIA, but our CIA probably detected it too! So I would wager the smoking gun Sandy Bergler risked serious jail time to destroy was something having to do with early warnings of a Bin Laden plot to highjack airlines, sourced or confirmed by the French.

This caper was the Clinton Watergate when the Bush years are understood as an intermission between Bill's regime and Hillary's. They had to destroy any - ANY - evidence of Mr. Bill's complicity and/or negligence in the 9/11 attacks, by any - ANY - means necessary not just because they wanted to blame them on George W. Bush but because such damning information would endanger Mrs. Clinton's 2008 coronation. So into the National Archives went Sandy Bergler, and out he came with the aforementioned classified documents, the smoking guns, comically stuffed down his pants, a political "covert op" that makes the break-in at DNC headquarters in 1972 look like something out of a James Bond flick. Of course he got caught, and prosecuted.

And the Bush Justice Department didn't even give him a slap on the wrist. Kinda makes the U.S. attorney dismissal kerfuffle look like an industrial strength exercise in mass ingratitude, doesn't it? If you were expecting any sort of quid pro quo, that is.

When we wake up a couple of years from now and see Sandy Berger where Don Rumsfeld once perched, and John Kerry the successor to Condolezza Rice, and Jamie Gorelick firing another 93 U.S. attorneys like Janet Reno did before her to the cheers and applause of congressional Donks and the Enemy Media still picking their teeth with Speedy Gonzales' flensed bones, remember the "New Tone" that got us to that bitter circle-closing, and learn the lesson that George W. Bush refused: He who is audacious and ruthless first and most gets the last laugh.

Always.
