i deny that gene is avoiding intelligence.

you have to have enough to avoid it.

That prevented the exchange of certain information between the FBI and CIA. However Bush could have ordered the FBI and local Law enforcement to be looking for people that were engaged in actions that were suspicious. He could have increased the activities of immigration and increased cooperation with foreign governments. Bush could have allowed the use of the armed Predator to be used in Afghanistan but did not act even though Tenet requested that action many times between Jan 2001 and Sept 10 2001. The facts are that Bush did not act. When the Director of the CIA says we are in such danger that we need to go a WAR FOOTING and the President does nothing, there is a disconnect in doing what should have been done to protect this country.

Again why produce the intelligence if the President for whom this information is produced fails to act on that Intelligence. Bush and Rice FAILED to protect the U.S. and the consequences were over 3,000 dead and as much as a Trillion dollars of harm to this country.

"Your sole experience in intelligence has been avoiding any and all intelligence.


i deny that gene is avoiding intelligence.

What you are saying is that the CIA did not know what they were doing when they provided all the warnings to Bush and Rice that we were about to be attacked. Please explain then what took place on 9/11/2001?This has NOTHING to do with MY experience but the collective experience of the CIA compared with what you offer!

see what i mean he is so stupid he thinks i am talking about the CIA and not him

You are the stupid one . I have said it is not my knowledge of intelligence. I did not have any first hand knowledge. My knowledge is what I read from the CIA. What I did is list are the warnings from the CIA which Bush and Rice Ignored.

i say that he has no intelligence and he thinks i am talking about the CIA.

then i point out that i was talking about him and he calls me stupid because he still thinks i am talking about the CIA

think he will get it this time

You seem to think using caps makes a difference, why can't I?

What you really mean is you would need to have intelligence in order to recognize it in order to avoid it. Col wouldn't know intelligence if it bit him in his militarized behind.



God forbid Col would ever concede even when he seems to be conceding.



No, he is actually saying you have no intelligence, none what so ever.

  

Stupid is as stupid does. Looking at the quote above, need I say more?

Among many things he conveniently forgets, intentionally or otherwise, is what a liberal hot button "racial profiling" was at the time (still is, sadly). Before 9/11, attempting to do so would have produced a firestorm of protest even louder than the protest over domestic surveillance of possible terrorist contacts after 9/11.*

*I happen to know exactly what would have happened in every circumstance in history had that circumstance not occurred, provided it didn't actually happen. If pretending to know hypothetical outcomes is good enough for Gene, it's good enough for me.

This is what I mean when I say you have no idea what you are talking about.

We just finished dealing with the Chinese and the attack on our recon aircraft. Iraq was making noise and North Korea was making noise as well. The terrorist had been planning the attack on America for five years so what do you focus on? China, North Korea, Iraq, and Iran were all testing the new president with only eight months in office.

The biggest threat at the time was China followed by North Korea and Iran with Iraq bringing up a distant rear and AQ way behind Iraq.

You col. gene say that with all of that going on our president should have known that AQ was going to attack us at home when they have only been only been able to set off two car bombs in the US and that was during Mr. Clinton’s watch.

AQ in the Philippines came up with a plan to hijack airplanes and then refined that to blowing them up over the ocean so no one would be able to pin it on AQ. This was discovered after a plane was bombed but was able to land with only a few deaths meaning that the plan was not perfect. The plan was later refined to hijack planes and crash them into buildings in America. This part was not in the computer that was captured by the Philippine police. So yes, there were plans to attack America but the last credible intel we had was blowing up planes over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. We had hints that they might use the planes as missiles but all the information pointed to just blowing them up.

Since all of the above is public knowledge it means that you are a political hack not interested in the truth but in attacking the president for doing more than the last president did. You forget I was a democrat for decades before I realized that the liberals are more interested in power than serving the American people. I have never seen you write anything critical of Mr. Clinton who cut programs that kept us safe. It was Mr. Clinton who refused to kill ben Laden, capture him or take him when offered by two governments. During this time AQ was planning and training for the 9/11 attack. Mr. Bush was only running the country for 8 months and by the time Mr. Bush took over, the planning was done, the troops were in place, and they just waited for the date to attack. Once they are within our borders it is ten times harder to find and stop them. The chance to stop the attack was lost because Mr. Clinton did not want to get into a war on terror.

we have been in a war on terror for at least thirty years.


mr clinton just didn't want to protect the usa.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...if you get my gist.

LMFAO.

TW: Glad somebody got it.
