Holding Pelosi’s Feet to the Water

“They mislead us all the time,”
-Nancy Pelosi, 2009

Remember that? Covered here, here, here, and here (I’m sure I missed another dozen posts). The next week in anticipation of her weekly news conference, she avoids the topic and the press lets her off the hook. The press should have hung on to the story like a tenacious pit-bull until she either resigned or the truth outed. Instead, there she still sits…affecting our nation.

Today, Marc Thiessen, in wake of the release of Jose Rodriguez’s new book, Hard Measures, holds her feet to the water once again:

9/11 / War On Terror

“TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 12, 2001”

The hub for conterterrorism operations is the CTC’s Global Response Center. At its entrance is a three-foot by three-foot sign that says, TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 12, 2001. It’s a reminder of the urgency required to combat global terrorism. Along the wall are two photos of the World Trade Center and one of the Pentagon after the attacks.

-Ronald Kessler, The Terrorist Watch, pg 188

As the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s demise looms before us, questions are being asked:

What is the state of al-Qaeda?

Is the war on terror over?

Are we safer?
