Path to 9-11 - Part I

Was That So Hard?

Good on ABC for this mini-series, so far. Here are my knee jerk reactions (your mileage may differ). Biggest Winner Americans.  My sense is that anyone who watched tonight will understand that  we are in a death struggle with Islamo fascists. I don't think that reality existed for many viewers before tonight.  Maybe it will draw us closer together. Most Damaged Madelaine Albright took the biggest hit, IMO, for acting like ... Madelaine Albright.  ABC left in the scene where she tipped the Pakistan government to a pending cruise missile attack on bin Laden, allowing him to escape (she says she didn't do it.  Maybe it was Nancy Ramirez) .The scene where she hangs up on a teleconference was snipped. Best Irony.  An official observes that if the laptop computer captured in the Philippines (which exposed a plot to kill Clinton with a suicide garbage truck), had been taken in this country, we could not have looked at its contents ... because of Jamie Gorellick's ''Wall." In that case, this paragraph might be titled Poetic Justice. Most Helped by the Clintoids temper tantrum ... Maybe it was me, but it seemed like Sandy Berger's dialogue was fuzzy, almost unintelligible. Those not up on his escapades did not get a sense of what a putz he was, and is. Might have been jiggered by ABC as a concession. Biggest Loser Congressional Democrats, for threatening ABC's broadcast license if they aired this program. Very Talibanish, that.
