If you read the entry below regarding Mr. Allawi and the propaganda of the press that causes escalation of the violence in Iraq; it is imperative to note what was going on with Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" with the Chair and Vice Chair of the 911 Commission.
We are not safe and this administration is more interested in the Iraq War rather than the safety of this nation and the dismantling of al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
There is every indication the real war on terrorists is being conducted by Pakistan IF THIS IS TRUE. Note the entry by Reuters. There is some doubt.
Musharraf sure of Al-Qaeda commander killing
KUWAIT CITY: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf insisted in Kuwait on Sunday that the head of operations for the Al-Qaeda network has been killed."Yesterday I said (his death) was 200 percent confirmed. Now, I say it is 500 percent confirmed," Musharraf told state-run Kuwait News Agency.Musharraf said upon his arrival in Kuwait on Saturday that Egyptian Hamza Rabia had been killed in north Waziristan, a tribal area of Pakistan on the Afghan border.

CRISIS PROFILE: What is the conflict in Kashmir about?

HAISORI, Pakistan, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Pakistani tribesmen on Sunday displayed parts of a U.S.-marked missile they said hit a house and killed two boys, evidence at odds with the government which says an explosion there killed a top al Qaeda commander.
Whatever the cause of the blast, the death of Abu Hamza Rabia would be a coup for Pakistan and the United States which describe him as al Qaeda's chief of international operations.
But his body has not been found.
THIS BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE OR A STUNT TO ALLOW A LIE. The point is the war of greatest interest is not in Iraq. It is in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Where is Osama bin Laden? It isn't the responsiblity of the 911 Commission to know.

Senator McCain Appears first on the show followed by the two Chairperson of the 911 Commission.
MR. RUSSERT: Coming next, the chair and vice chair of the September 11 Commission, Republican Tom Kean and Democrat Lee Hamilton. They're deeply concerned about America's vulnerability four years later. Are we prepared for another terrorist attack? They are next right here on MEET THE PRESS.
(Announcements)
MR. RUSSERT: The September 11 Commission chair and vice chair. What have we learned these last four years? Are we prepared for another attack? After this station break.
(Announcements)
MR. RUSSERT: And we are back. Governor Kean, Congressman Hamilton, welcome back to MEET THE PRESS.
FMR. REP. LEE HAMILTON, (D-IN; Vice Chair, 9-11 Commission): Thank you.
MR. RUSSERT: Let me take you back in the middle of the presidential campaign, July 22, 2004, outside the White House. Here's President George Bush greeting and accepting your report. Let's watch.
(Videotape, July 22, 2004):
PRES. BUSH: These two men bring a commonsense approach to how to move forward.
And the report that they are about to present to me puts out some very constructive recommendations, and I look forward to studying their recommendations and look forward to working with responsible parties within my administration to move forward on those recommendations.
(End videotape)
MR. RUSSERT: "To move forward on recommendations." In all honesty, Governor, what grade would you give the president for adopting and enacting your recommendations?
FMR. GOV. THOMAS KEAN, (R-N.J.; Chair, 9-11 Commission): We're going to grade everybody. We're not going to grade the president. But what we've said is that we've not moved forward to the extent we should. We've made some progress, very little progress in some areas. It's not a priority for the government right now. You don't see the Congress or the president talking about the public safety is number one, as we think it should be, and a lot of the things we need to do really to prevent another 9/11 just simply aren't being done by the president or by the Congress. ........
The Program Continued ....
MR. RUSSERT: So there's no suggestion that Iraq was, in any way, shape or form, involved with September 11?
MR. KEAN: No, and we can find no evidence whatsoever, and we came out with that statement clearly.
MR. RUSSERT: Before you go, if one year from now we have exactly the same report in terms of all the factors I raised with you this morning, what would you say?
MR. HAMILTON: I'd be extremely disappointed.
MR. KEAN: And extremely worried that we may have had another attack at that point because some of these things weren't done.
MR. HAMILTON: We believe another attack will occur, and we had better get to it and protect the American people.
MR. RUSSERT: Not if but when.
MR. HAMILTON: It's not a question of if. We know what their intent is. They've expressed it over and over again.
MR. RUSSERT: And are we prepared?
MR. HAMILTON: We've...
MR. RUSSERT: Are we prepared?
MR. HAMILTON: No, we are not as well prepared, as Tom put it early on, as well prepared as we should be. There is plenty of room for improvement, and we've got to get with the task.
MR. KEAN: And God help us if we have another attack and we haven't done some of these things.
MR. RUSSERT: Who has to grab hold of this? Is it the president?
MR. KEAN: It's the president and the Congress. It's our government. And there are things we talked about today that Congress has to do; there are things we talked about that the administration has to do. First of all, the safety of the American people has got to be their number one priority. There is nothing more important.
MR. RUSSERT: Are you now out of business?
MR. KEAN: We're going out of business as of December 31.
MR. RUSSERT: That's it.
MR. KEAN: That's it.
MR. RUSSERT: Never to be heard from again.
MR. KEAN: As individuals, we're going to be around, but...
