Yes, crazy me for saying that Bush was briefed days in advance because thats only facts...


He was briefed that Bin Laden may attack the U.S. using planes. Presidents get briefed on overseas threats constantly.

Are you talking about the super vague "Bin Laden may want to use airplanes to attack us at some point I guess?" memo that came out in like July of 01?


yes, those ''super vague'' detailed notes that he was briefed with.


love the word play btw.... How now they are considered "super vague'' so those he is at no fault for failing to even raise a warning to airlines....

It was a massive intelligence failure.... not a conspiracy theory.

I'm not saying he did it on purpose, for fuck sake if i felt he did that, i would probably be wearing a tin foil hat.

the point is the man made NOTHING but intelligence failures.... never accomplished a single good thing. Wait, i shouldnt put that cause i do believe he did something agreed with but just cant remember it atm....

"Bin Laden determined to attack within the US" was the name of the memo, it was from August, and it said absolutely nothing about using airplanes to attack. The idea that Bush knew exactly what was going to go down and just did nothing is ridiculous, especially when combined with the fact that there are a shitload of memos that are similar that are released constantly and which lead to nothing.

Hindsight's 20/20 and all.

Even if Al Gore got elected, 9/11 would of still happened. The intelligence community is mostly to blame, not George Bush. The same could be argued for Iraq. We were working with 10 year old information.

Al Gore would probably have kept up the Clinton program of hunting Bin Laden, at least.

No way man, Gore would have seen that shit and been like "WAIT I BET HE IS GOING TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO NEW YORK NEXT MONTH" and then would have spent the whole month flying a circuit around the twin towers, ready to punch airplanes in the nose.
