CIA Knew of Hijacker's Plan to Get Pilot License [while Clinton slept]
Bloomberg, no url | 8/20/3

Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. intelligence knew 20 months before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. that one of the future hijackers was planning to get a pilot's license in Florida, the German magazine Stern said.

The CIA learned in January 2000 from Dubai authorities that Ziad Jarrah, the Lebanese who flew the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, was going to apply for a U.S. visa and take flying lessons in Florida, Stern said in a preview of tomorrow's edition, citing U.S. intelligence documents. A total of four airliners were hijacked and crashed on Sept. 11, 2001.

Authorities questioned Jarrah at Dubai International Airport where he boarded a flight to his home in Hamburg, when he was returning from an al-Qaeda terror network training camp in Afghanistan. Dubai sent transcripts of the interview with Jarrah to the CIA, Stern said.

German intelligence told the CIA about the suspected terrorist links of Marwan al-Shehhi, a second hijacker, more than two years before he flew one of the two planes that crashed into New York's World Trade Center, Stern reported last week.

Whoa Native!! That's a beauty. Clinton didn't want to get into anything where he could control the outcome. Hence, a pharmaceutical factory was sufficient to slap Usama. Usama on a platter? That might have ticked off Usama's followers. DO NOTHING worked for Clinton.

We're still allowing people from terrorist states to immigrate to the United States and it's going to cost us again. Next time they'll say, "We just had no idea this could happen." And the American public will buy off on it once again.

While we're at it...let's throw in the "Accidental" Chinese Embassy bombing. Clinton picked ALL the targets personally. Knowing what we now know about Clinton/Chinese relations, WHO died in that bombing? A "foster Moment".

Bubba said he discussed EVERYTHING with Hillary and inferred that she had a part in ALL his decisions.

I'm sure they spent a lot of the time discussing "What do we do with Monica?". What a great sideshow while terrorists were lining up for duty!!

There was a situation not too long ago where the FBI intercepted some intel that was being Fed Ex'ed to an AP reporter that had some info in it regarding intel.

I'm wondering if this is part of it.

And lining up for their pardons. The co-presidents were too busy greasing the she skids for the red queen's ascendancy to bother themselves with little details like national security.

And the CIA knew in 1995 about the Project Bojinka plot planned to crash planes.

But Clinton would not even meet with his CIA chief.
