The Bush family has several ongoing business investments with the Saudis. In the past this included the Bin Laden familiy. Osama bin Laden still recieves money from the Bin Laden Group. It is a Saudi tradition to make sure a son's inheritance money gets to him somehow.

Odd how it took 9 months before all this easy to find information comes to light.

And it all comes out within 24 hours evidently.......LOL.

Hind sight is always 2020. I don't think you can claim a loose, vague memo would have prevented anything. I think the Clinton/Jackson media are having a feild day in an attempt to get votes for Nov.2002.

Name them. With proof. And don't come back with anything except what the Bush family has direct investments with the Saudis with. None of this "They use the same broker" crap.

What investments do any of the Bush family have directly with the Saudis?

Mr. Liberty,

What, if you received that warning that something was coming, maybe in the u.s. or against a u.s. embassy, would you have done? How could it have prevented the attacks?

The terrorists had valid ID, may not have even carried the box cutters on, the source you take at face value says that there was no indication of the magnitude or nature of the attacks...

Do you believe, with NON-SPECIFIC knowledge of a pending attack sometime somewhere somehow, that anything could actually have been done to prevent this?

I'm coming more and more to the belief that Tenet's head should roll .... too much water under the bridge on his watch ... the man's not cutting it, personal relationship with Dubyah be damned.

Ah, he warned that something BIG was up. I wonder why we didn't guess what it was?

Well, here's your chance. We've been warned again that Al Qaeda is planning something BIG in the weeks ahead. Now, tell us what it is or it will all be YOUR fault when it happens. After all, you've been warned.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody warned eveybody about imminent attacks on America. Since we didn't know the place, date, or time, what were we suppose to do? Shut the country down? Sh&t happens! Sometimes you just can't avoid getting hit. We are an open country, there are too many easily accessible targets, and the prior administration emasculated the FBI. Other than the pandering immigration policies, I like what I'm seeing as far as restructuring.

My real question is why is murbarak spilling this now? He obviously knows this is NOT helpful to the bush admin, with our media ready to blame him for causing the attacks practically, but this is the same administration he is going to be dealing with for the next 2 1/2 years minimum. Maybe he was given a green light by the administration for this, as they assume it will not cause any lasting problems for them?

Heads should roll and the first is Clintons, Hillary and Bill. Since they were both Presidents, sad to say it. Investigate them now.

This is one time that I will give GW a pass. Imagine how bad of condition this government was in for 8 yrs. And in those yrs Bubba decimated things at warp speed. I'm sure if GW was really ready to change things he had no idea of where to begin. That being said I believe there was information available to have prevented disaster. Rice, Tenent, Mueller should go.

"Us ridiculing a most likely fabricated story is not unpatriotic."

Oh really? What about the American businessman, who visited Cairo a week before and was told THE WHOLE THING EXACTLY AS IT HAPPENED, EVEN TO AVOID LOGAN AIRPORT IN SEPT AND OCT!

He felt shame he did not report it immediately on returning to the US, but said to everyone, that if HE knew it SURELY the CIA did! He did report it a week after the attack and no one ever got back to him (sounds like what happened to David Schippers when he tried to talk to Congress and the DOJ)

Even James Woods the actor warned about the trial run on the flight he was on, which included the 9/11 gang, which he ALSO reported to the FBI and FAA.

And what about the warnings from the ISRAELIS, RUSSIANS, FRENCH?

Oh, silly me, it is all a conspiracy by them foreigners to make our intel agencies and President look foolish and incompetent. But of course!
