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 to 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."

Bush listened to the briefing, Suskind says, then told the CIA briefer: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

3. Bill Clinton and the Clarke memo warned him too. They even named Al Qaida.

Bush is revising history again and he gets away with it . . . again!
