BUSH WAS WARNED BIN LADEN WANTED TO HIJACK PLANES - NYTimes.com

Quote:
The White House said tonight that President Bush had been warned by American intelligence agencies in early August that Osama bin Laden was seeking to hijack aircraft.
Quote:
It was not clear this evening why the White House waited eight months after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington to reveal what Mr. Bush had been told.

You would think someone with half a brain would be embarrassed to say what you just did.

Bush's administration was good at pronouncing terrorist suspects guilty without a trial. Why did Bush give a dire situation, when timely action was critical, the benefit of the doubt?

Bush was briefed by the CIA about the plans of hijacking American planes before 9/11. Yet Bush thinks a pilot did not see the twin towers by sight or radar.

Sorry if I hit a nerve. Keep on believing that Bush kept our country safe if it helps you feel better.

And neither did the rest of America when that first plane hit.
Go back and view the newscasts...tragic accident regarding the very first plane across the board on every news station.

Want to read a good nonpolitical easy to understand book about observation and recall? Try "The Invisible Gorrilla" by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. It explains the "Hillary arrived under sniper fire" misremembering, too. They all aren't deliberately lying or embellishing.

I'm sure they see hundreds of reports of suspected terror plots, and I'm sure, since Bush was new to all this, that he let the CIA chief handle the job of terror threat analysis, since he had being doing as a part of his professional career under Clinton, and then Bush.

i know the left likes to credit Bush with being some kind of a super intel guy and expert in the art of data analysis, but he wasn't, that's why he had the FBI and CIA. If al Qaeda was such a threat to our nation's security, then why didn't Clinton's final policy paper on national security mention al Qaeda?

Bush was in on it from the git-go.

Why do you think he was in a third grade classroom in Florida?

Slow day at the white house?

I'll bet he picked Florida as a safe place, so as to be looked out for by the Bush governor.

I mean, who can you really trust during such a caper?

I recall NPR reporting it early on as simply a plane crashing into the towers. They said there was speculation it was a suicide attempt, and were awaiting further information. I went out walking with a friend. By the time we got back, ~ 1/2 hour later, the details were becoming known.

G*d knows what Obama would have said. This thread is a little nutty.
