Osama's Family on 9/11

[-Cp]

That is a good question, along with the other questions floating around. Maybe the release of the CIA papers will tell us something.


Um.......that was Bush.

No.. that was under Clinton's watch....

If Osama's "evil aspirations" were not a secret, how did he manage to pull off an attack on American soil? (Well, beside the fact that the Bushies totally ignored his threats, including an August memo that warned against commercial airliners being used as weapons).

You're lying.
The August 6th memo did not warn of commerical airliners being used as weapons. It mentioned that back in 1998 Bin Laden wanted to hijack an airliner to release the Blind Shiek, not to use it as a weapon.
Gabby, learn to read basic English.

The 9-11 Commission Report was reduced to a mockery after the Saudi government demanded the removal of over 200 pages that implicated Saudi citizens.

The entire 9/11 Commision report was a mockery, its sole purpose was to clear Clinton and the Saudis of any wrongdoing or mistakes.

OK, I forgot everything was Clinton's fault. My mistake.

That's only part of it.

Item 10 of the "Statement of the Case" in the lawsuit filed November 26, 2003, on behalf of September 11, 2001 widow Ellen Mariani states: [16]

"As widely reported and confirmed by many American independent researchers of the facts and circumstances of '911,' Defendant GWB knew the attacks of '911' were probable and failed to act. Specifically, Special Agent Robert Wright wrote a memo on June 9, 2001, warning his superiors, Defendant DOJ/FBI of the potential of terrorists hijacking aircraft to attack the United States and two (2) months later, Defendant GWB's National Security Advisor, Defendant Condoleezza Rice, acknowledged that on August 6, 2001, (one month prior to the '911' attacks), she provided a written brief to Defendant GWB at his Texas ranch which warned 'OBL' might try to hijack U.S. aircraft."

Tell us President Gabby--what should Bush have done, having only the information he had at that time and if this intelligence was available to the Clinton administration, why didn't THEY do anything?

[Mr. P]

OK, I forgot everything was Clinton's fault. My mistake.

True, your mistake. Clinton had this in view for 8 years and did what?
Bush was in office for less than 9 months and you wanna lay 100% of the blame on him? Come on this hasn't worked for six years and it won't work in 600 years.

Sounds like you are starting to opn your eyes.

Read all about it. American intelligence had all sorts of information available on bin Laden and the terrorists. Clinton didn't act because he was a lame duck president. And a stupid one at that.
When Bush became president, all that intelligence was immediately made available to him. Bush set it aside because he was more interested in getting rid of Saddam.
Like it or not, Sept. 11 did not happen on Clinton's watch. It happened on Bush's watch. Bush turned a blind eye to all the intelligence reports. Therefore, Bush is to blame, because he was in charge.
Bush was totally clueless leading up to Sept. 11. He was even more clueless on Sept. 11, during which he flew around aimlessly with his thumb up his butt. On Sept. 12, Bush decided to use the attacks to his advantage. Which he has done ever since.

I watched a documentary on this and there were several times between 98-99 that we had a clear shot on Bin Laden or were inplace to do a snatch and grab, but Clinton refused fearing a war with the afgans.

A pretty good rehash of the insane liberal opinion which exonerates Clinton and blames Bush.

If that was really the case he would have gone into Iraq IMMEDIATLY when he took office, did he? No. Like usual you have no clue.

You do know that one country can not go into another country and indiscrimantly kill people, right?

I don't think that was so much an exoneration as it was an explanation. This administration did not go cold into the White House. They were briefed on all terrorist activity. Like it or not, the cold hard facts are that Bush didn't take the time, or take seriously his daily intelligence briefings. I'm sure he does now though.
