(bumped up from early morning . what a glimpse at history!)
My friend, truthtelling007, has done yeoman’s work and loaded up some VHS videos of my TV punditry starting on the morning of 9-11 and continuing for the ensuring week back in 2001. When Osama Bin Laden’s crew hit America on 9-11 I was at National Airport waiting to fly to New York City. I was on air with Katie Couric and the Today Show when the plane hit the Pentagon. The attacks that morning started a media frenzy that put me in a position to comment on what had happened, what it meant and what we needed to do.
The following clip from CNN’s Crossfire features me with L. Paul aka “Jerry” Bremer. I still like and respect Jerry, although he bungled completely the job in Iraq. I find it useful to go back and look at what we were saying about terrorism and policy eight years ago.
What do you think?
