His brother had an intelligence report about Bin Laden planning an attack on U.S. soil one month before this happened:
Safe?

Clinton had obl on a silver platter and refused to take him. Had he taken him, 3000 americans wouldnt have died.
Oh right Dubya IGNORING a dozen plus high level warnings was Bill's fault? lol
Q: Did Bill Clinton pass up a chance to kill Osama bin Laden?
A: Probably not, and it would not have mattered anyway as there was no evidence at the time that bin Laden had committed any crimes against American citizens.
Clinton Passed on Killing bin Laden?
Oh right Dubya IGNORING a dozen plus high level warnings was Bill's fault?
Indeed, red lights were blinking all over the board...
With no information of when where or how
And so he did nothing at all. Brilliant leadership there.
The August PDB?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You should read it sometime.
And then read it's father...
the PDB Clinton got in December 1998.
Which had most of the information Bush got in August.
You can't imagine how amusing I find it when someone brings up that PDB.
If Bush's 2001 PDB had "most of the information" as Clinton's 1998 PDB, why was Clinton able to thwart the attack but Bush couldn't?
why was Clinton able to thwart the attack but Bush couldn't
Clinton thwarted an attack?
Apparently. Clinton received a PDB warning about a potential attack inside the U.S. The PDB you mentioned. Clinton took action and there was no attack. Bush received a similar PDB which, as you also mentioned, contained much of the information Clinton was given. In response, unlike Clinton, Bush did absolutely nothing and the result was the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history. I'm just wondering why, since both presidents were given similar warnings, Clinton was able to thwart the attack whereas not only did Bush fail to do so --
he didn't even try.
Let's get something straight, Bush received much more than a single warning. He ignored all of it because he was focused elsewhere and he wanted a war.
"On May 1 the CIA said that a terrorist group in the U.S. was planning an attack.
On June 22 it warned that this attack was "imminent."
On June 29 the brief warned of near-term attacks with "dramatic consequences" including major casualties.
On July 1, the briefing said that the terrorist attack had been delayed but "will occur soon."
On July 24, the president was told again that the attack had been delayed but would occur within months.
These and other similar warnings were ignored by the White House. The Neocons in charge insisted that the threat was instead a coordinated diversion meant to distract attention from Saddam Hussein, according to Eichenwald. This opinion frustrated the intelligence community, who saw the theory as totally illogical."
