Bush wondered after 9/11, ‘Why didn’t we know this?’ (NatGeo did show screenshot 8/6/01 PDB)

[RamboLiberal]

To be fair they did show shot of PDB with "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S."

In an interview that aired Sunday night, President Bush told National Geographic Channel’s Peter Schnall that after 9/11, he didn’t want to blame intelligence agencies for failing to predict the attacks.

“At some point in time in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, I thought about why didn’t we know this?” Bush recalled.

“I knew we needed to figure out what went wrong to prevent other attacks but I didn’t want start the finger pointing and say to our intelligence communities, ‘You fouled up. You should have caught this. Why didn’t you know?’”

On Aug. 6, 2001 — more than a month before the attacks — Bush received a presidential daily briefing entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”

1. Condi left it in her office.

The memo was probably lost in her pile of unread Cosmopolitans.

4. Wrong. Harriett Miers showed it to him during his vacation. He replied, "OK, you covered your

@ss" or something very similar.

3. After the PDB on August 6, BUSH LEAPED INTO action

by continuing his month long vacation. He also protected the country by holding exactly ZERO, NADA, NARY, NOT A ONE, NIL,ZIP meeting with anti terror officals yet manged to meet with as many as five religious leaders every day between August 6th and 9-11.

5. Lets tote up Bush's stupidity.

A private plane was intentionally crashed into the WH while Clinton was in Office. About that same time a disgruntled, soon to be divorced hubby murdered his wife by crashing his private plane into their home.

A commercial air plane with all its passengers inexplicably went into the Atlantic a few miles from shore with not a sound from the pilot and prayers from an Egyptian co pilot.

During the 1970's dozens of planes were hijacked by Arabs, Russians, Cubans, remember Entebbe, etc. along with multiple bombings of night clubs an other public places in Europe.
A plane carrying a military black ops team went down in Gander, Newfoundland killing all aboard. Our government said icing on the wings, but there was no icing in the local weather reports.
Has Bush never heard of the Oklahoma City bombing?

AT the end of the WWII hundreds of Japanese attempted to crash their planes into allied military ships.
And the list goes on and on and on.

Suicide missions date back to pre Masada days, but Bush never heard of a single one of them?

This is Duhbya's brain on drugs and alcohol. He has a rich powerful daddy and a lot of low cunning but he will never grow his fried IQ back.

8. Oh gawd there's your problem....

a less than mediocre student, ponding and trying to think of how this all can be blamed else where.

9. Not pointing fingers -- Didn't Richard Clark testify that Bush was implicating Iraq immediately
