NYT Bombshell: 'SIGNIFICANTLY MORE 9/11 NEGLIGENCE THAN HAS BEEN DISCLOSED'

[hjmick]

This just further vindicates Richard Clarke.

Condi said that Clarke's Intel presentation had AQ on page 16 and the strategy was "roll back"


How does that "Vindicate" him?

And you believe everything the Bushies claim.

And you believe everything Bush haters and Obamanites claim...

 

[Synthaholic]

and here tehy are its awesome that someone is writing how Bush failed us, woo hoo go dead people. Libs, still pimping bad ideas.

Like they say, the truth hurts. Looks like the truth is President Bush was warned over and over about bin Laden. But ya'll gather round and defend your ultra-failed presidents' actions.

Clinton was warned over and over also, and his response was the Gorelick Wall. But somehow I don't think you'll place any blame in his direction.

What did Bush do about the Cole attack?

 

[Lakhota]

It's awesome to see further details of Bush's 9/11 incompetence exposed.

Accurate history is awesome!

Facts are awesome!

Truth is awesome?

 

[Meister]

BTW, the intelligence wasn't failed.

Can you source where the the intel stated which day, which flights all of this was going to happen...or was more like fragmented chatter? The same chatter the CIA and the FBI were picking up.

You do realize that it was the Clinton Administration that dummied down our own intel because we didn't need it any longer, right?

You, too?

We have to know exactly when an attack is going to occur in order to thwart it?

And Clinton did no such thing.

Clinton's expert on al Qaeda - Richard Clarke - continued with the Bushies, and they ignored him and marginalized him.

Clinton deferred to the incoming Bushies the decision on how to punish al Qaeda for the Cole attack, which was extremely respectful of him, not tying an incoming administration to an outgoing administrations last minute course of action. Remind me again: what did Bush do to punish the Cole attackers?

Now we find out that they were warned throughout 2001, leading up to 9/11, and again did nothing.

Can you answer the question I asked Rat, about the color coded terror warning system?

Whatever, Synth....you want to rewrite history, go ahead...when actual facts are presented...just move the truth...it's what the left does
"We have actually done more in certain areas by finding efficiencies in other areas and reducing the overall cost of our 17 agencies," said Rogers, who chairs the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Unlike the dangerous across-the-board cuts by the Clinton Administration during the 1990's, the current funding cuts were selected to ensure that no important operational intelligence capabilities were impacted, which many believe happened during the Clinton years that contributed to the U.S. being blindsided on September 11, 2001.

So we are supposed to believe the op-Ed writer because he says so.

Two, why are we supposed to believe the CIA? Weren't they the ones that told us that Iraq had WMD's?

Someone quoted this post. So I saw it, and had to respond:


No. Bushies told us that the CIA told them that Iraq had WMDs.

You're honestly saying that Bush came up with this?

He told Al Gore, Bill and Hillary Clinton before he was President too?

Editec already posted the CIA statement on WMDs, from early 2001.

It's a direct quote.

 

[Synthaholic]

Which airports were they supposed to put on alert?

Which days? What times? What flights?

What were the screeners at that time supposed to look for? Remember, they didn't have the TSA back then, and the rules were different.

So what was Dr. Rice supposed to do about vague terror warnings?

All of them.

See, we have this Federal agency called the FAA. We also have another Federal agency called the FBI. We also have another Federal agency called the NTSB.

NTSB investigates crashes after they happen. The FBI was investigating several possible terror cells at the time. The FAA deals with air safety and traffic control.

Hindsight is 20/20. If we would have increased security im sure those guys would have figured another way to get weapons onto the planes.

The point is, they all have the contact info for all U.S. airports.

The Out-of-Towner: While Bush vacationed, 9/11 warnings went unheard

 

[Synthaholic]

Tora Bora!

We built that!

 

[Synthaholic]

Clinton was warned over and over also, and his response was the Gorelick Wall. But somehow I don't think you'll place any blame in his direction.

His record on fighting international terrorism is part of history as is the fight he had with the GOP and their partners the ACLU. Who watered down his anti-terrorist bills to the point of uselessness. That being said I've alway been of the opinion that he should have hit the Taliban and al Queda hard after Oct 12, 2000.

The ACLU and the GOP aligned? That's a farce.

Really? Ask Rush Limbaugh.

And you believe everything the Bushies claim.

When would you have given the order for the USAF to engage and destroy fully loaded but off course US Commercial airliners, Tough Guy?

 

[Synthaholic]

GMTA....you ARE spot on. I think they wanted Bush to close all airports for 6-12 months

Airports couldn't have more closely scrutinized ME passengers? Couldn't coordinate with the NSA and the FBI?

Wouldnt that be profiling?

So?

 

[Lakhota]

George W. Bush's vacation time (grand total)

487 days at Camp David
490 days at Crawford Ranch
43 days at Kennebunkport Compound

Total: 1020 days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president.

Carter took 79 days in 4 years.
Clinton took 152 days in 8 years.

Reagan took 335 days in 8 years.
Bush Sr. took 543 days in 4 years!

So much for the mythological Republican hard worth ethic.

That's Lakhota for you.....party and blame before America. Trashy? Absolutely

What is 'awesome' is that this info has come out, confirming the incompetence of the Bushies.

But of course, you all already know that's what Lakhota meant.

What info? Info that there was intel on the day, time, flights, or just a different way of packaging that there was chatter that something was going to happen sometime in the US at some point. Come on, Synth you're better than that.
As far as Lakhota? It is party over America with him....

Info that there were repeated warnings and pleadings from the CIA to take this seriously.

Unfortunately, there was much needed brush-clearing to be done at the Bush ranch in Texas.

 

[Synthaholic]

I look forward to the day when people still suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome finally wake up and blame the people who hijacked those planes rather than continuing to blame Bush. Mistakes were made by the administration, mistakes are made by all administrations. But it was not Bush who told these terrorists to take the actions they did, it was their decision and the urging of bin Laden that led to 9/11.

Facts don't disappear when an administration ends.

 

[Synthaholic]

Airports couldn't have more closely scrutinized ME passengers? Couldn't coordinate with the NSA and the FBI?

Wouldnt that be profiling?

Why, yes, yes it would Marty. The screaming liberals would have come out of the woodwork hooting and hollaring "DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!"
After all, it was Bush....don't think they wouldn't have, either.

So?

 

[Synthaholic]

Clinton passed up at least two opportunities to kill or capture bin laden. know why he didn't? cause there were women and children in the camps.. and he made that decision after bin laden announced that "NO distinction will be made in those wearing uniforms and those who are civillians." What a dumb ass thinker clinton was.

Already debunked countless times.

Take your Alzheimer's meds, Dirty Granny.

On Tape, Clinton Admits Passing Up bin Laden Capture; Lewinsky Played Role here you go .. He said it on TAPE

FALSE. I linked to the MediaMatters page with the transcript of that tape.

Again....no date, no time, no airport, no flights, there was chatter just like there was chatter for months and months prior, Synth.
Get real.......

So?

So you are calling for profiling of middle eastern people at airports?

Oh please! I could post HUNDREDS of links regarding Liberals pissing their underoos over so called "RACIAL PROFILING" of muslims.. Don't even try to revise history..

Bush White House Deaf to 9/11 Warnings

Damn...

we did know that.

i have always thought there was a deal made to not lay blame...

but 7 million was spent investigating 9/11. 70 million of our tax money was spent investigating a blue dress
