"This is interesting news that we get now, and it may put the President under a lot of heat today as the public learns that he knew, through his daily CIA intelligence briefings, that bin Laden had potential terror attack plans under way....It also calls into question what happened when Andy Card, Andrew Card, the White House chief of staff, that morning went and whispered in the President's ear, as the President was talking to a group of school students in Florida. Was the President really surprised?"
– Charles Gibson’s introduction and question to White House correspondent Terry Moran on ABC’s Good Morning America, May 16.
So Charlie, are you inferring that Bush knew all along that the terrorists were going to crash planes into buildings on 9-11 and he was just acting surprised? If not, then perhaps you should apologize for your stupid remark.
Believe the press along with the democRATS stooped to a new low on 9-11 accusations against President Bush!
Such as Katy Couric with this quote below. BTW, this was the quote that Tom Daschle said he was hypnotized into repeating:
"Good morning. What did he know and when did he know it? The Bush administration admits the President was warned in an intelligence briefing last summer of the possibility that Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network might hijack American planes, raising more questions about whether the attacks on America could have been prevented."
– NBC’s Katie Couric introducing the May 16 Today.
This is getting a little ridiculous. They are getting a free ride to cast any slander on Bush they wish knowing full well Bush cannot prove otherwise without revealing confidential information harmful to our informants. Such an utterly cheap, cheap shot. Gibson always looked like the good guy - boy next door. But I have found that he is merely a liberal with no sense of fair play.
Just as Clinton made no secret of his loathing of the military, I'd pull no punches with my hate of the mainstream media. Political suicide, for sure.
Yes, and it backfired on them, big time. Even with their plausible deniability rhetoric, it's leaving a telltale egg yoke stain on their faces.
"Bush knew! For years the left-wing media and Democrats have been telling us that Bush knew nothing.
Now the left-wing media and Democrats are telling us that Bush is not only smart enough to be president, he is a sage, seer or even a prophet....he was able to deduce from a barrage of information that a terrorist attack on the WTC was coming soon...he then made a conscious decision not to inform the lowly masses of such a threat so his cronies could profit from the resulting war.
Until the Dems come up with a candidate with superior powers, they ought to support Bush and use his superpowers for the good of the country."
And it backfired on Daschle. Now he is crybabying that he was hypnotized by Katy Couric's "What did Bush know and when did he know it," rhetoric. If Daschle is so easily hypnotized, then perhaps he shouldn't run for president. BTW, Daschle's excuse is like that of George Romney who claimed he was "brainwashed" by the military. That statement pretty much ended Romney's political career.
Well, I am sort of rooting for Al Sharpton to make a run. The entertainment value of this will be terrific.
There's only one answer, and we all know it, he would have had to start going after ARABS but what would the result of THAT have been...
you guessed it, the same whiny weepy liars that are today screaming WHAT DID HE KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT would have been slobbering with max indignation over RACIAL PROFILING.
The fact is, the Phoenix Memo died a Death by Political Correctness. No one in the FBI upper-management wanted to go after the Arabs...
The big question is, not what Bush knew then, but what the media and America knows now... are they/we yet ready to admit that those 3,000 Americans are victims of political correctness?
No Charlie, he wasn't a bit surprised. < liberal fantasy mode>The attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon happened exactly on the schedule that Bush was previously told about. Andrew Card whispered into Bush's ear, "WTC and Pentagon hit by the planes as planned. Please try to look surprised for the cameras." < /liberal fantasy mode>
Charlie 'Ol Boy, just when did Bill Clinton know it and how much did he know, hummmm? Better still why did Bill, Madeline and Hillary practice a hands off Arafat and other terrorists, could it have something to do with Bill's cabinet, several of whom are avowed Marxists? Bill Clinton apparently never raised a hand to stop terrorists in this country and he flew off every time there was a crisis which he should be handling. It is a known fact that the Clinton Administration wanted America to be brought down to third world level and he very nearly got us there even to the point the United Nations was close to taking our Sovereignty with Bill Clinton's blessings.
