NY Times reporter: Bush White House didn't listen to 9/11 warnings
CBS THIS MORNING ^ | 9-11-2012

Posted on 09/11/2012 6:47:36 AM PDT by ExxonPatrolUs

"CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell said, "Then when a lot of people hear this, aren't they going to say, 'This is another example of where, not just the Bush administration, but our intelligence community dropped the ball. They failed to heed the warnings that were in a number of these (documents) that went all the way up to the president of the United States.'"

Eichenwald replied, "Actually, the counterterrorist center of the CIA did a spectacular job, and that's what really comes down. You know, in the aftermath, the White House and others said, 'Well they didn't tell us enough.' No, they told them everything they needed to know to go on a full alert and the White House didn't do it."

So it doesn’t have anything to do with the obstacles placed between intelligence agencies and law enforcement during the Clinton administration, eh?

How about placing the blame where it belongs, MSM. You dropped the ball on holding flaming tool John Kerry accountable for his role in preventing increased security at airports, specifically Boston. Never a peep out of you. Just one of your memory holes on this.

We here have been over this as much as a psycho woman drives over a husband. Your charges against President Bush were BS then as they are now.

Some western minds do know the problem. In this case, the problem is Condi Rice. Her belief in the niceness of North Korea, and a belief that they would not tell a lie let them keep proliferating nuclear weapons to this day.

It's not like planes crashing into government buildings (via Kamekaze rather than jihadi) wasn't out there in the popular fiction. Clancy also had a plot line about attacking Wall Street. It takes a complete lack of imagination to not check popular fiction plot lines for possible threats when you believe we are in a state of war against terrorists.

Condi Rice could have been told directly about 9/11 plans by Bin Laden himself, and she would have thought it too fantastic to believe, and too inflammatory to bring to Bush. National Security Advisors are supposed to have a bit of paranoia about them. Condi can't seem to believe anything really bad about anybody.

It was to stop co-ordination between foreign intelligence agencies and domestic intelligence agencies over the ChiCom Army (and other) cash that was infused into Clinton's ‘96 campaign.

North Korea had nuclear weapons long before Rice became Secretary of State and probably even before Bush took office. It was Madeline Halfbright who was naive about North Korea. President Bush included North Korea in the “Axis of Evil”, a position that Rice surely agreed with.

With regards to 9/11, Bush chose Rice as his NSA in part because she was an recognized expert on terrorism. She gave speeches on the threat of Islamic terrorism and I believe Bush even made it a campaign issue in 2000. During her first few months on the job she wrote a plan to go after Al Qaeda which was on President Bush's desk on 9/10/01 for his review.

“It was to stop co-ordination between foreign intelligence agencies and domestic intelligence agencies over the ChiCom Army (and other) cash that was infused into Clinton’s ‘96 campaign. “

This is true. Clinton should have actually been tried for treason and espionage. The reason he jets around with that poop eating grin on his face is he knows he screwed us all and not only got away with it but became rich while doing it. Bill and Hillary’s net worth when they moved into the White House was $42,000.00. Now they’re both multi-millionaires, where did it come from?

Re-read my post. I mentioned proliferation of nuclear weapons, which presupposes that N Korea had them to begin with.

Then, read Cheney's book. Towards the end he tells about Rice and the fumbling of the N Korea proliferation troubles. Lot's of people are considered experts, without actually being one. Rice is an academic, her real world track record isn't so great.
