Ashcroft: 2 Months Before 9/11

[mweiss]

Ahh, partisan rhetoric. The language of those unwilling to think for themselves...

 

[WingNaPrayer]

Now now, if it weren't for partisan rhetoric to keep us thinking, how would we be able to recognize the truth when it finally eeeks it's way down the pike?

I will not say you are wrong but I hope to hell you are. Like I said in a earlier post, I would not believe anything our government told us but I have a hard time believing that they would let something like this happen. I seem to recall what JSN mentioned and things have come out over time of the horrendous things that the US government ha perpetrated against its citizens.

I do not know what to believe anymore. I am tired and my head hurts just thinking about it.

===============================

BUSH CONTRADICTS SELF AT HIS OWN PRESS CONFERENCE

During last night's prime time press conference, President Bush once again claimed that "there was nobody in our government, at least, and I don't think the prior government that could envision flying airplanes into buildings" (1). But just minutes later at the same press conference the president proved he was not telling the truth.

Specifically, Bush said the reason he supposedly requested intelligence briefings before 9/11 "had to do with the Genoa G-8 conference I was going to attend" in 2001. Bush was referring to the fact that, prior to that conference, he was warned that "Islamic terrorists might attempt to kill him and other leaders by crashing an airliner into the summit" meetings (2).

His statement that "the prior government" had not taken precautions against terrorists using planes as weapons is also contradicted by the facts. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that under President Clinton, "the federal government had on several earlier occasions taken elaborate, secret measures to protect special events from just such an attack" (3) after receiving intelligence warnings (4).

At the press conference, Bush also claimed to have no "inkling whatsoever" (5) about an attack before 9/11. But the Washington Post today reports that newly-declassified information shows that the president did not just receive one intelligence briefing about an imminent Al Qaeda attack, but "a stream" of repeated warnings (6). In April and May 2001, for example, the intelligence community titled some of those reports "Bin Laden planning multiple operations," "Bin Laden network's plans advancing" and "Bin Laden threats are real." The CIA explicitly told the Administration that upcoming attacks would "occur on a catastrophic level, indicating that they would cause the world to be in turmoil."

[The Drunken Duck]

This is one of those meaningless blabber threads that allows all the consipiracy theorists to vomit their ideas about what did or didn't happen on 9/11 and what could or could have been done in advance.

Could Clinton have done more? Bush? My hunch is no. That wont matter to the resident lemmings on this thread. They will just charge down the party line. So go charging....and check your brains at the door.
