Bit of revisionist history there, Si...
Clinton's people warned Bush's about Bin Laden. And Bush had a PBD in August saying that Bin Laden wanted to use planes to attack the U.S. They also knew that there were a bunch of guys learning how to steer, but not take off and land, jets.
How old were you on 9/11?
Bit of denial there, Jillian. Had the IC been staffed adequately and had their hands not been tied with idiotic restrictions on human assets, the USA would have known the details needed to stop this.
No denial. I have a very real interest in this one... I don't like fallacious BS though. If you want to talk about damaging intelligence assets, let's talk about the propriety of firing your best Farsi interpreters because they're gay or outing a CIA agent because you don't like what her husband found out...
Stop it... let me know what Bush did in response to the PDB. Did he tell them to beat the bushes? Order closer scrutiny? Ask for info?
I'll wait...
oh heck, I'll make it easy... he did nada....
I have no doubt that more could have been done.... by everyone... leading up to 9/11... but it's stupid to blame the past president and ignore the one who got the PDB's. for NINE MONTHS before the attack.
And FWIW, it may not have made a difference... the Mossad is the best intel force on earth and there are STILL terrorist attacks on Israel.
