Bush has been warned that Bin Laden was planning to attack the US
On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.If Bush had really been so concerned about our security, he would have ordered the State Department and related agencies to check up on the activities of recent Muslim visitors from suspect Middle Eastern nations.In the aftermath of 9/11, Bush officials attempted to deflect criticismthat they had ignored C.I.A. warnings by saying they had not been told when and where the attack would occur. That is true, as far as it goes, but it misses the point. Throughout that summer, there were events that might have exposed the plans, had the government been on high alert. Indeed, even as the Aug. 6 brief was being prepared, Mohamed al-Kahtani, a Saudi believed to have been assigned a role in the 9/11 attacks, was stopped at an airport in Orlando, Fla., by a suspicious customs agent and sent back overseas on Aug. 4. Two weeks later, another co-conspirator, Zacarias Moussaoui, was arrested on immigration charges in Minnesota after arousing suspicions at a flight school. But the dots were not connected, and Washington did not react.
According to the article quoted above, the warnings actually had started coming as early as May 1st, so Bush had time to react.

The infamous "Chinese wall" .... which is a cryptic reference to the real reason that Clinton drones created it, to protect Clinton from discovery of his Chinagate/Loral/W-88/"Three Noes" treason.
“9/11 is the one thing Bush got right.”
I don’t agree... Bush went after one Saudi man in Afghanistan instead of the root of the problem, which was Saudi Arabia it’s self.
So you agree that Bush did not keep us safe?
So, you agree Bush did not keep us safe?
“9/11 is the one thing Bush got right.”
Coddling the Saudis?
Homeland Security?
Religion of Peace?
Nation Building?
Oh there are so many more.....
No, GW did not get 9/11 right - before or after.
What conservative ideals would those be? Confiscating private property from one property holder and giving it to another using the right of eminent domain because it’s in the best interest of the state? Flip flopping for political expedience on right to life issues? Using Democrat talking points to criticize his opponents? Being silent on homosexual marriage?
He said it happened on his watch (TRUE) and People can either blame Bush or not (TRUE), but I must have missed him BLAMING Bush for anything.
He was also responding to The Jebster saying that Bush kept us safe for eight Years. Well, 9/11 happened when Bush was in the White House (TRUE).
I guess Trump really does believe “The Buck Stops Here” just like Truman did. If he becomes POTUS the same kind of thing may happen to him, but I think he already knows it.
Only Democrat President’s get a pass.
BTW - Another Poster said his Parent’s thought FDR knew that the Pearl Harbor Attack was coming. People in my Family thought the exact same thing back then.
Trump answers a Reporter’s question and people act like he is out to get G.W. Bush. He stated a FACT, 9/11 did happen during Bush’s Term in Office and he also pontificated on Obama not being a Leader while the Country goes to pot.
We have a Year to go and everyone is acting like they just found out about Bush’s DUI weeks before the 2000 Election.
I have no idea who the Republican Nominee will be and every one of the Republican Contender’s has plenty of time to say something stupid. That standard doesn’t apply to the Democrat Contenders, but we already know that now don’t we?
This is my last Post on this particular Thread. Agree or disagree, it really doesn’t matter.
Even Trump’s regurgitating that meme about Rubio (not one of my favorites) with the water bottle when the gave the Republican rebuttal to Obama’s state of the union. The Democrats had a field day w/ that. Classic by-the-book Alinsky ridicule, which Trump uses with glee.
And Bush saying "islam is a religion of peace" is the equivalent of FDR saying that the Japanese and Nazi's meant us no harm.
I don think Bush is a bad man, but he sure is stupid.
Who cares about the Democrats having a field day.
If they were smart, the Rats would be shaking in their boots because Trump is going to have a field with their eventual candidate.
What are you talking about? Trump isn’t a conservative. Of course, neither are the Bushes.
Well, since Trump loves the Clintons and considers them “great friends,” it makes sense he’d deflect blame away from them.
And then what? Appoint Supreme Court Justices that agree with the Kelo decision?
Barbara Bush is going to give The Donald a real Yankee tongue-lashing sooner rather than later.
You’re right; I’ve voted for every Bush on my ballot until 2014 when I said “No” to George P. It will be simple to say “No” to Jebbie too.
Yes, that's his chief defense among those who have thrown principle to the wind to support him.
" and has been for months. He champions Conservatism at each of his campaign stops. "
LOL!
As opposed to a lifelong history of championing conservativism with action. Well, then. Trump, the guy who said he was a Democrat only this past July, SAYS he's a conservative at campaign stops. What else do you need!
" He talks down Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders... "
Keyword; TALK.
He also talks down people like Michelle Malkin---although talk doesn't describe that incident. It was a sleazebag attack.
"Sadly, we have some pathetic malcontents on our side of the isle (at least we assume our side of the isle) who can't grasp that Trump is the best thing that could have happend to Conservatism in 30 years. So here one of them regurgitates onto the forum in typical fasion. Let's review..."
Trump is a self-admitted Democrat. You're deluding yourself with hero worship.
And if refusing to support such a person, while holding to conservative principle makes me a malcontent, bring that label on, baby---I accept it happily.
But pathetic? You better look in the mirror for that.
"Not able to actually come up with anything of substance, this dim bulb makes something up and then blames Trump for it as if it has already taken place."
Says the bleating sheep who just resorted to lying.
"Of course he hasn't done it, and his supporters haven't done it, but none the less they are described as "mindless bots" just the same."
That's right. I see it day in and day out.
You mean you've never seen the feverish keening from some of the most severely unhinged that Donald is the "Trump of God", hallelujah?
"Who would do that sort of thing? Oh that's right, a GOPe mindless bot."
I support the Constitutional conservative. You're shilling for a Democrat. Try again.
"Spewing falsehoods at every stop so far, why stop now..."
Can't talk sense to some of you. You'd deny the sky is blue if Donald said it was green.
"1. Trump is a Democrat He's not a Democrat. He is a registered Republican and is supporting Conservative policy at every campaign stop and in every interview."
He told "Morning Joe" he's a Democrat in many ways...in July of this year. Did your cult hero lie?
You sure put a lot of stock in campaign talk. Are you really so gullible?
"2. His disguise is lousy Since he's not a Democrat, he has no disguise and is doing a great job presenting Conservatism to the public"
With those grade school level sentences he uses, and his constant "I-I-I-me-me-me" he isn't teaching anything, unless it's a course in egotism.
It's impossible for a self-admitted Democrat to present conservatism to anyone. He doesn't understand it himself.
"3. It slips at least once a week Since he's not in diguise, this logic is vaporware"
Is that like Tupperware? Does it have lids?
"Mindless bot? For the GOPe? Here on a conservative forum... "
You support a Democrat. I support a conservative. Try again.
"Trump's supporters on this forum are not Democrats. Ronald Reagan attracted Democrats to his views. I don't recall us being upset about that."
So Democrats on this forum saying they strongly support Obamacare and don't care about abortion are fine with you?
Got it.
"This is simply one more dispersion cast at those who wish to see Conservatism prevail in 2016."
You've forgotten what conservatism is, if you ever knew.
"This lofted by a person who can't quite grasp that we haven't been able to nominate a person who is hawking what Trump is for the last 30 years."
"Lofted?"
Trump's hawking a line of BS and you've fallen for it.
"Yes, lets dump Trump and nominate another McCain or Romney, because Conservatives sure aren't getting our nominations."
No, thanks. All of those guys are liberals, including Trump. I want nothing to do with them. I'll stick with a conservative.
"So yes, let's defeat Conservatism's last chance, by all means possible, even if it's just bald faced lies. GOPe alert!"
The GOPe doesn't support Cruz.
"Conservatism's last chance"...you really are desperate, aren't you? I mean, seriously.
"They? Trump supporters suport Obamacare? LMAO, simply pathetic!"
It is.
"Once again, another lie seeking to besmirch the reputations of anyone who would support a man hawking Conservatism to the Citizens of the United States."
"Hawking" conservatism means zero. Living it is another matter.
"This pathetic loser hasn't grasped that Sanctuary cities are now being reviewed for punitive measures."
You're really getting angry, aren't you? Yep...desperation-fueled anger.
"They can't grasp that Boehner has agreed to step down."
I think I heard about that, but only a Trumpbot could think his master is the cause of it.
"They can't grasp that the nations media is realing on it's heels for the first time in decades."
Trump! Trump of God!
"They can't grasp that for the first time in 30 years, people are crossing demographic lines to support a man hawking Conservtism."
The Democrat is hawking it, so it must be true! Trump! Trump! Trump!
"Failing to grasp what is going on at any level, this person seeks to destroy a Conservative candidate and his supporters. GOPe alert!"
Cruz supporters are conservatives. Trump supporters are backing a Democrat.
"If they dismissed abortion as no big deal, they disagree with Trump on the matter and are not one of his supporters."
Trump once told Howard Stern that he's prolife "if anyone asks", but otherwise it isn't a big issue with him.
Didn't know that? It's because you didn't bother to vet your candidate. You just boarded the Trump train because it made you feel good.
"Other than these small disagreements with your lies, I really think you accomplished what you set out to..."
Well, I'll wait for you to prove the lies, but I imagine I'll be waiting a long time.
There are those on this forum who are so in love with Trump that nothing could penetrate their fog of devotion, but there are plenty of lurkers here at FR. This thread has become a classic showcase of the hysterical meltdowns that occur among Trump supporters when he lets his liberalism show...yet again.
So, yeah. I'm fine with that.
"...destroying someone's credibility about as soundly as anyone could. Too bad it was yours.
CatherineofAragon, do you honestly think you revealed good character by posting this drivel?"
I despise liberalism and will speak out against it. You support a liberal. What were you saying about character...?
"Pathetic. "
You are. But realization is the first step toward change.
Trump’s big NYC mouth doesnt help him in the long run.

“Ahhh, the conservatives - once again eating their own. So DARNED STUPID.”
Trump is NOT a conservative, and NOT interested in furthering true conservatism. Donny Trumpeter only cares about himself and whatever goofy secret agenda he has. It certainly isn’t what his Trumpesters think he is going to do.
Whatever, you did say one thing that is right.....saying this shows Donnieboy is “DARNED STUPID.”
