“I’m amazed that the president would make this (announcement) on national TV and not inform us of these details through the appropriate channels,” the mayor told The Associated Press. “I don’t expect a call from the president _ but somebody.”
The reason why the President did not call LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is because Villaraigosa was NOT Mayor of Los Angeles till 3 years AFTER the the planned Incident and 2 years AFTER the Terrorist was arrested.
Villaraigosa was elected mayor of Los Angeles in a run-off election on May 17, 2005, in which he defeated incumbent mayor James Hahn. Prior to that, he was a state Assemblyman for the 45th district, the Speaker of the California State Assembly, and the Los Angeles City Councilman representing the 14th District.
in 2002, Villaraigosa was embroiled in a sucession movement by Hollywood and the San Bernadino vally and was smoozing left-wing doners to pony up to the bar and pay for his run for City Councilman of the 14th District in preparation to run a second time for mayor after a failed attempt in 2001.
The President of the United States, nor is Homeland security going to call some unknown political Assemblyman or Councilman and inform them of pre-empted attacks on the city, the President and Homeland Security will Call the Governer, the State Emergency people, and possibly the Mayor of the city if warranted..
So Mayor Villaraigosa can show as much “Amazement” and “Astonishment” and whatever else that will get his name in the news all he wants. But People know BS when they see it..
Especially Left-Wing BS.

Aw, give 'em a chance. He's still wet behind the ears ;-)
You forgot to put (D) after his name - the sure sign of a LIAR!
Isn't that just like the liberal media? Take two separate facts, shake them together, pour them out for liberal readers who never question a thing.
Thank you for pointing out the truth!
stepping back in time...TIMES ONLINE.co.uk: "FOCUS: THE CONFESSIONS OF KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED" by Christina Lamb in Chicago (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Sears Tower in Chicago and Library Tower in Los Angeles -- which was 'blown up' in the film Independence Day -- were both potential targets, according to transcripts of interrogations of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Al-Qaeda operations chief. "We were looking for symbols of economic might," he told his captors. He recounted sitting looking at the books with Ramzi Yusuf, his nephew by marriage, who was the man behind the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993. In that attack Yusuf succeeded only in ripping a crater into the foundations with a van bomb. “We knew from that experience that explosives could be problematic,” said Mohammed, “so we started thinking about using planes.”) (March 28, 2004)
