I guess then that the Clinton administration is blameless as well. Congratulations.
Dang Laz, before you start attacking me and calling names please read my post#177. PLEASE READ THE BOLD AREA.
Post # 177 before I saw the breaking news.
Look, terrorist acts have been going on for years, including suicide attacks with truck bombs into building killing hundreds of Marines, USS Cole, etc, etc etc.
Its my opinion that the thousands of huge flying, fuel filled bombs that dot our skies daily, should have been protected long ago. It's a complete, total failure of our leadership going back many years. Please note I did not mention Bush specifically.
It's very simple, American pilots should have been armed or at least had access to weapons in the cockpits. The government knows full well, how much we are hated in this world, and have known this for many, many years.
How many terrorist attacks, suicide bombing and airliner hijackings, does it take to figure out that a huge jet airliner could be used as a weapon?
It's just like the immigration issue. What does it take for the government to get the message?
Don't be so quick to attack and be so defensive. Read my post more carefully. I would say an apology is in order.
Do the pawns ever know what is really going on?
I do! I mean, he's evil personified and all that, but he's not a left-wing loon. :-D
You know what? I bet your guts are right!
But listen, you are the Big Genius, so get off your heiney and join the NSA and the CIA, and forestall each and every terrorist act before it occurs.
1999 Report Warned of Suicide Hijack
By John Solomon Associated Press Writer Friday, May 17, 2002; 12:57 PM
WASHINGTON Exactly two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal report warned the executive branch that Osama bin Laden's terrorists might hijack an airliner and dive bomb it into the Pentagon or other government building.
Still waiting for the apology. Somehow, I don't think it's coming. That's OK Laz, I am not thinned skinned, as your name calling is pretty juvenile.
BINGO!!!
Actually, in an attempt to defend it's integrity against the naysayers, the administration DID release as much intel as was possible without tipping our hand to terrorists...or getting more people killed.
It didn't help. Some people would blame this administration even if it released every single scrap of intelligence information available - with sources - and UBL was sitting right in front of them angrily denying that the US government knew all about his master plan, and simply chose to be a party to the largest single crime against humanity for reasons only the tinfoil hat crowd can tell us.
2 year???? Hummmm .. George Bush was only President for 8 months when 9/11 happen ..
Hummmmmm 2 years??? ... Gee who was President then and Gee who was CO-President ... hummmmmmm
In 8 Years The Clinton Administation did nothing .. not a plan .. NOTHING
But in 8 months the Bush Administration were working on a plan to take out Bin Ladin .. only problem they had was they only had 8 MONTHS instead of 8 YEARS
Wait until after you're married you naughty boy.
Oh I was worried that they had gotten side tracked
Wrong. Since the Clinton administration had unequivocal knowlege of several attacks committed against the United State, by UBL, and did nothing to him...to the point of saying "no thanks" to both Sudan and Saudi Arabia when they both tried to turn him over to the US for trial, the Clinton administration is far, FAR from blameless.
Congratulations on a total lack of ability.
What the hell is wrong with some of you party hacks. Jezzz. Please read my post # 177 that I post before the breaking news today regarding the two year old report.. AND PLEASE LOOK AT THE BOLD PRINT BELOW.
