“gene with all of that crap that you copied. there is nothing there that bush could have done to make the USA safer or stop 9/11. that date isn't even talked about.


so the CIA wanted to be able to attack someone without permission first.



and again you did not answer my question.


what was the president supposed to do specifically to stop 9/11 from happening.”


Act on the warnings he was given. To be told we need to go a WAR FOOTING and do NOTHING is unbelievable. The President acted as if NONE of these warnings existed. He did not act on the request to begin employing the weaponized Predator Drone as Tenet requested time after time. No one knows if we would have prevented 9/11 had Bush moved our country to a War Footing but we do know that we were attacked just like all the warnings foretold that Bush and Rice IGNORED!

ok act on what warnings and how should he have acted. i asked for specific actions not general.

All the ones I posted. He did nothing.

how do you protect from an unknown attack. type of attack. how their going to attack. where their going to attack.

come on gene you can't be this stupid.

these were attacks before bush took office. so why didn't clinton do anything. and please telling them that we were sending in missiles two hours before we sent in the missiles was doing nothing.


ben laden get out of there we're going to hit your camp in two hours.

"Something really bad's gonna happen, somewhere, sometime, maybe real soon." Your job is to stop it. Let's see how you do.

You quote a bunch of generalizations, nothing actionable. If there had been something actionable, it would have been Tenet's job to identify it and recommend it. To claim Tenet's bosses "did nothing" when Tenet had no fucking clue what to do is bullshit. Speaking of nebulous bullshit, what exactly does "war footing" mean?

Just what legal actions would you suggest Bush &/or Rice should have taken in the summer of 2001 to put us on this so-called "war footing" based on CIA's belief that "something bad, somewhere, sometime" was going to happen? I say "legal" because you certainly wouldn't want your precious CIC breaking the law. What legal resources did he have at his disposal to interfere with, let alone stop, this "major attack" which we now know was 9/11? Perhaps a little research into Jamie Gorelick's role would enlighten you as to the limitations the CIA, and inescapably the President, had to deal with under existing law. And don't come back with this bullshit that his crime was "doing nothing" - you have no basis for that claim, no knowledge, only the banal generalities you pulled from a CYA paperjob. If that's the crime, leave 9/11 out of it, because if you're not talking about 9/11, just what has happened, exactly, that demonstrates Bush & Rice failed to "protect" America? Aside from 9/11, America's been pretty damn well-protected. Anything prior to that that you want throw in, just so you can get in some guilt-by-association digs ("I know Bush wasn't responsible for ______, but...") happened long before his watch.

Gene, you're an ignorant douchebag. You want it both ways - accuse Bush of "doing nothing" and go ballistic when he does (FISA, etc.) Aside from that, you're OK.

So disagreeing with you or thinking you are an obsessive asshole with delusions of persecution makes me a "bushie" well then I guess that makes me one. See this is where your one candle power brain fails you gene, disagreeing with you or poking fun at your obsession with Bush neither makes me wrong nor a "bushie" it just makes me someone that has a different opinion of you than you have of yourself. Notice I did not have to underline anything nor use caps or an excessive amount of exclamation points to make my point!

LOL.  You didn't post one thing that could have prevented Sept. 11.  How many times do you just post useless nonsense just to make a post that has the word "Bush" in the title?

i guess it is time for him to start a new attack bush post.

[foil liberal thinking hat]I think Gene is a racist - why else bring up Condi?[\foil liberal thinking hat]

If for six months you received warnings that a gang was about to attack you and your family what would you do? If you did NOTHING and one day that gang attacked and killed members of your family I guess you would say you acted properly? You were not told when and where so what could you do? BS!!!! You would argue that you did all you could to protect your family. IN A PIGS EYE!

What should Bush and Rice have done? They should have alerted the many agencies from the FBI to local law enforcement that we needed to be looking and reporting and activity that did not appear normal. We should have begun rounding up illegal’s and closing our borders. We should have done all the things we do today when we have an elevated threat level. When the President receives from the CIA Director a warning that says we are in such great danger that the country needs to be placed on a WAR FOOTING, the proper response is NOT to do nothing.

Proof that Bush did not act properly can be seen by the fact they tried to keep the July 11, 2001 meeting where the dire warning was given a secret even from the 9/11 Commission. That was a Damming event that can not be ignored. Bush and Rice FAILED to protect this country despite repeated warnings that we were in danger! We have thousands of people employed to protect the country and they were NOT used even though we had credible threats for 6 months PRIOR to 9/11. We also were told WHO the danger was from. Then after we were attacked by the group that was threatened us, Bush attacks a Totally different country and sends the vast majority of our military to deal with someone that had NOTHOING to do with the attack on 9/11 or in prior attacks! WHY?????????

BETTER look at my comments about Coiln Powell if you think I am a racist. You are an IDIOT! If you think the libs are racist, how do you explain Clinton?

Dainelost

Let me add the gang that attached your family had attacked them three or four times before the current attack!

LOL.  What a ridiculous analogy.  I guess we could apply that to Iraq that had planned to assassinate a U.S. President, attacked our planes on an almost daily basis.  How many times before we should act?  LOL!

Once again there was no actionable intelligence on Sept. 11.  You can look at various other committees and studies that sad the same thing.  There was a problem with our intelligence agencies way before Bush, and the Gorelick situation was one of those.

You would have been the first one writing how Bush is becoming a dictator by stopping all muslims at airports, and clamping down on strict security measures.  The failures of Sept. 11 started happening a long time ago, most notably our failure to respond to the first WTC bombing.  But since that involves a democrat, you won't touch that one.

You are a joke gene.  It's so obvious that you write nonsense just to make a ridiculous claim against Bush.
