9/11/12 Report: Documents Disclose multiple 9/11 Warnings ignored by pResident George W Bush
"don't act so surprised you little prick, you knew about this"


If this was Pres. Obama's actions many people would be beet red with anger, who are not at all upset at Pres. G W Bush to this day.

Of course, the report by the National Journal has angered GOP politicians.

9/11/2012 Report: Documents Disclose (over a half dozen presidential) 9/11 Warnings
"CIA Counterterrorism Center official suggested transfers so that somebody else would be responsible when the attack took place.”
By Matt Vasilogambros | National Journal – September 11, 2012

The documents predate the presidential daily briefing on Aug. 6, 2001, which said, “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”

The direct warnings date back to the spring of 2001. On May 1, the CIA told the White House that there was “a group presently in the United States” that was planning an attack. On June 22, a daily briefing described the attack as "imminent." Administration officials, however, dismissed the warnings, saying that Osama bin Laden was merely feigning an attack to distract the U.S. from efforts against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

“Intelligence officials, these sources said, protested that the idea of Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist, conspiring with Mr. Hussein, an Iraqi secularist, was ridiculous, but the neoconservatives’ suspicions were nevertheless carrying the day,” Eichenwald wrote. “In response, the CIA prepared an analysis that all but pleaded with the White House to accept that the danger from Bin Laden was real.”

Briefings on June 29, July 1, and July 24 carried similar warnings. On July 9, Eichenwald writes, one official suggested staff members of the CIA Counterterrorism Center “put in for a transfer so that somebody else would be responsible when the attack took place.”(because of their warnings being ignored by the White House)

Video of press conference of dumya, six months after 9/11, rambling on about how Bin Laden exploits weaknesses and gets young men to die for him, but, "I just don't spend that much time on him" - wow, imagine Pres. Obama saying that ignorant comment?! They'd (Republicans) be rallying outside the White House demanding he resign.

2. ugh... fortunately for them, shit doesn't flood rooms when big lies are told
or they'd all have been covered in it!

Every one of the boosh administration talking heads claimed how could anyone ever have imagined flying planes into buildings.... nauseating - and somehow, my God, somehow, they got away with it...



Get it now, or one of a million other designs!

4. They are covered in it.
If we had an honest media.....

There is a technique people like Tim Russert, Matt Lauer and some of the other dishonest anchors use. You question someone with a hard voice and a hard look on your face. And while the question seems tough, it really allows the subject to get his or her version out there. Then, there is either no follow up question or a really lame one.

And, if despite the interviewer's best efforts, the subject has not fully exonerated whoever is supposed to be exonerated, the interview then says something like, "So, you're saying {insert administration story here.}

And once the party line is out there for a day or two, drop the story like it never happened. Move on to the next shiny thing, like some meaningless gaffe or what someone was wearing.

Easy peasy.

3. No way we could have known anyone would use a plane suicidally.
If you don't count World War II.

5. Remember Laura Bush at the 2008 convention? The big applause line: "And he kept us safe."
(if you don't count 9/11 and starting two wars of choice)

6. lol... what a big load of poop that lie was! kept us safe. BS
if it wasn't so shameful of a lie and resulting in a million Iraqi deaths and thousands of deaths on 9/11, then it would be laughable to hear her say that whopper at the convention, but when you reminded me of it, I remember how disgusted I was to hear the repeated "he kept us safe" malarkey!

7. Condi Rice literally squirmed in the witness chair
as she lied and lied to protect Dubya and the rest. Condi was a member of the "free range asshole" team.
