the right wing defending traitors
put down the kool aid and take a look at the facts instead
Cheney says that the attacks of September 11, 2001 “caused everyone to take a serious second look at threats that had been gathering for a while and enemies whose plans were getting bolder and more sophisticated.”
On the contrary, the plans were not new and bold and were well documented by the Central Intelligence Agency.
ROFLMNAO... You are an IMBECILE... First, your understanding of the noun "new" and the adjective "bold" are in direct contrast to the words actual meaning...
It is simply not possible to conclude that the bombing of the Cole or the US Embassies in Africa, or any of the innumerable attacks on nightclubs, hotels, busses, cafes or other public places was not: distinct from their previous methods;
recently made: recently made, created, or invented; were
not yet used by anyone else In fact, a month prior to the attacks, or that the 9-11 method was one which
replaced existing plans; those previously utilized: or that the 9-11 attack was
replacing or supplementing the other mothods and less bold tactics of the same kind that already existed...
Thus, the methods employed on 9-11 were decidely NEW as new is defined as:
new
new [noo]
(comparative newer, superlative newest)
adj
1. recently made: recently made, created, or invented
a new drug
2. first-hand: not yet used by anyone else
It's a totally new washing machine
3. replacing existing one: replacing or supplementing something of the same kind that already exists
4. recently discovered: recently discovered or noticed, though existing before
5. with recently acquired status: having recently acquired a particular status or position
6. previously unfamiliar: not seen, known, or experienced by somebody before and thus unfamiliar
7. unused to something: unaccustomed to something, e.g. such as a place, job, or situation, through having only recently arrived there or experienced it for the first time
8. changed: changed, especially for the better
9. Newrevived or different: constituting a revived, different, improved, or more advanced form of something, e.g. a political or artistic movement, that already exists or that existed before
Just as it is not arguable that the methods of 9-11 were much bolder than the previous methods employed by our enemy, Islamic Terrorists...
Bold
bold [bōld]
adj (comparative bold·er, superlative bold·est)
1. fearless and adventurous: willing and eager to face danger or adventure with a sense of confidence and fearlessness
2. requiring or showing daring: requiring or showing fearlessness, daring, and often originality
3. impudent or presumptuous: lacking in modesty or impolitely assertive
4. clear and conspicuous: standing out and therefore easily noticed

5. steep: rising abruptly and steeply from the surroundings
So this element of your assertion is REFUTED in it's entirety...
President Bush and Dick Cheney both received a briefing on the matter. The August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US,” is fairly clear. The PDB mentions the following:
A clandestine source said in 1998 that a Bin Laden cell in New York was recruiting Muslim-American youth for attacks.
We have not been able to corroborate some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a [deleted text] service in 1998 saying that Bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft to gain the release of "Blind Shaykh" 'Umar' Abd aI-Rahman and other U.S.-held extremists.
Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
The FBI is conducting approximately 70 investigations throughout the U.S. that it considers Bin Laden-related. CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our embassy in the UAE in May saying that a group or Bin Laden supporters was in the U.S. planning attacks with explosives.
What did Bush do after receiving this briefing? He promptly went on vacation.
ROFLMNAO... DAMN! you are one idiotic tool...
First, the 'briefing did not provide ANY ACTIONABLE data... SECOND; your use of the word "vacation," is in and of itself a deception... The President is on duty, in full and uninterupted communication with every facet of the executive branch... and this without exception to where he is at any given moment; so the President did not take this inactionable report, pack his bags, put a closed sign on the WH and head to Crawford... yet that is what you're desperate to imply...
... and the rest of your sourced material and the conclusions drawn by the pro-terrorist leftists therein are similarly absurd...
When it gets right down to it... we're basically looking at having to choose between the credibility of Dick Cheney, over that of the radical leftist press?
Hhmmmm...
ROFLMNAO... Get serious...
There's not a WORD of this which presents a serious, viable, potentially valid contest of ANYTHING Cheney has asserted... NONE OF IT!
