The Ultimate Response to the "Bush Knew" Smear (RNC please take note)
Source: Me | 05/17/2001 | By Laz

Posted on 05/17/2002 6:36:15 AM PDT by Lazamataz

Okay people, I don't usually write one-line vanities, but I have what I consider the Ultimate Rebuttal to the smear that Bush knew about September 11 in advance.

Osama bin Ladin bragged that not even all the hijackers
knew where they were really headed.

If the actual perpetrators didn't know what was going to happen,
HOW WAS GEORGE W. BUSH SUPPOSED TO KNOW?

There you are, kids. In two sentences, this horrible smear by the DNC is destroyed. Take it it, run with it, hit the airwaves, write letters to the editor, go on the radio, get this message out.

Prove that the Bush admnministration KNEW the US would be attacked in NYC and Washington DC on September 11th, without ever having gotten either a time of the attack or knowing the place of the attack (except that it was to be somewhere within the United States)?

I guess then that the Clinton administration is blameless as well. Congratulations.

Because if you are attacking the admin for its cluelessness, then you clearly are doing so from a position of superiority. Therefore, you are Brainiac ClueBoy, and need to tell me RIGHT NOW where the next terrorist attack is occuring and what it will be.

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?

And you believe Osama bin Laden over Cynthia McKinney and the rest of the Demorats? Hehehe.

I do! I mean, he's evil personified and all that, but he's not a left-wing loon. :-D

"-- I have a gut feeling they have foiled 20 attacks for this one that hit."

You know what? I bet your guts are right!

They had a Cesna crumple up on the White House lawn.

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.

Thanks, HLL. I can't remember the last time I was this disgusted with the Dems. Well, actually I do remember, but let's not go there. I did a massive email campaign this morning, including members of both houses of Congress, several national and local media outlets, and the White House. I sent a letter to the editor of my local paper. That will be like preaching to the choir since I live in Bush's home county, but it made me feel better. I saved my most cleverly sarcastic remarks for those champions of innuendo, pious spin, and smear tactics, Daschle and Gephardt. Then I sent a contribution to the RNC with specific instructions to spend it in South Dakota when Daschle comes up for reelection. Trying to calm down now, lol.

I know why! Tom Daschle's wife is a lobbiest for the airline industry and she just so happened to make a sizable donation to the DNC and POOOF the recommendations got mixed in with the Rose Law Firm documents

BINGO!!!

"If the administration releases their pre-September intelligence for those who lack same (liberals) to pick over with the benefit of hindsight, doesn't this give our enemies access to it as well???"

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

U.S. planned for attack on al-Qaida

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.

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.

He's just exhibiting his princely priorities. He saves the kingdom first, then whisks away the fair princess.

Congratulations Lazamataz! To you both.
