We are not saying Bush was responsible for 9/11 BUT....

[kentuck]

The American people, Democrats and Republicans both, need to know what happened on August 6, 2001. Bush was briefed on that day and he chose to ignore it. We have a right to know, actually a responsibility, to know what this Administration was told about the terrorism threat before 9/11. They cannot be permitted to sweep this under the rug. If there is any justice in this world and if there is one honest journalist left in Washington, we must get to the bottom of this. We cannot let them politick and PR this question away.

Richard Clarke was Director of Counter-Terrorism in the national Security Council. He has since left. Clark urgently tried to draw the attention of the Bush administration to the threat of al Qaeda. Right at the present, the Bush administration is trying to withhold documents from the 9/11 bipartisan commission. I believe one of the things that they do not want to be known is what happened on August 6, 2001. It was on that day that George W. Bush received his last, and one of the few, briefings on terrorism. I believe he told Richard Clarke that he didn’t want to be briefed on this again, even though Clarke was panicked about the alarms he was hearing regarding potential attacks. Bush was blithe, indifferent, ultimately irresponsible. The public has a right to know what happened on August 6, what Bush did, what Condi Rice did, what all the rest of them did, and what Richard Clarke’s memos and statements were. Then the public will be able to judge exactly what this presidency has done.
