Ari is just one small example of why the Bush administration was abysmal. Gutless wonders. Bob
Don’t give me that pathetic hindsight whine.
The bits known were large and pointed out the actual perps.
The islamics also did a failed test run far earlier, in Europe. And the actual *plan* was known and had a name. Just that no one thought it worth mentioning.
I think any of them that said it was because of the video—need to be removed from whatever position they hold, that includes Obama.
On Sept 11 2012 (correct me if I am wrong) Egypt and Libya had been the only attacks. Egypt had ran something on TV about the video, so they attacked the embassy over that.
Libya had NOTHING before the attacks, no protesters.
All the other attacks on an embassy came after the announcement on CNN etc that the evil offensive video caused the other attacks. Well, and the tweets that were put out.
It looks to me that our saying it was the video, spread the riots. Just as if we pored gas on it.
Ari Fleischer? Wow, there’s a blast from the past.
Haven’t seen that name in years.
I’m sorry FRiend.
I sure don’t mean to be a whiner.
Perhaps you could tell me how it could have been stopped.
You seem have a lot of information.
Please be specific...how could it have been stopped? I’m interested.
The dia had plenty. aq telegraphed their punches in pretty clear terms. The hijackers were being watched when they ‘suddenly’ went off the radar. What they DID NOT DO was coordinate the intel.
Furthermore, the first thing dot gov did was round up the saudi royals and the bin laden family and give them safe passage out of the country. THIS was covered up all the way from then until now. Those of us who knew were not believed. Now it’s coming out.
In fairness to GWB, this was in motion long before he assumed office. Don’t forget he was hindered from actually starting his presidency by some weeks due to clinton obstacles and had not had time to put his cabinet officers in place. Even after he did, the agencies were still full of clintonistas as they are to this day. Gorelick’s wall was very effective.
Still, it was GWB who assured us that islam was a religion of peace, wasn’t it?
And I would like to ask one other thing...
What specific information was know before 9/11.
Please be specific. Not putting the peices together in retrospect.
Islamic terrorists bombed a 30’ crater under the World Trade Center in 1993 in their first attempt to bring it down. Clinton proceeded to do absolutely nothing for 8 years to address the threat of Islamic terrorism and, in fact, demonstrated not only the weakness that led to the brazen and devastating 9-11 attacks, but, for the purpose of covering up his Chinese campaign cash corruption, had his flunky Jamie Gorelick erect the “wall” between the CIA and the FBI that made the terrorists’ mission that much easier.
Bush faced the terrorists head on, and we have killed a hell of a lot of them.
Just sayin
People. Names. Broad planning in early stages, Bojinka.
Iranian hijacker supposed to crash jetliner into building in Oslo, but got cold feet and negotiated (and confessed) instead.
“What specific information was know before 9/11.”
The names and whereabouts of most of the hijackers until about ten days before the op. Had followed them crosscountry from mosque to mosque. CA to VA and Michigan, through NC, SC, and South Florida. Knew it was very close because chatter was off the boards. Knew HOW and what the prime targets probably were. NO warnings were issued when the hijackers ‘disappeared’.
And she’s incomletent as well. You could see that deer in the headlight look as she repeated her well rehearsed lines but, with her chin down and looking up through her eyes.
It’s subtle but it’s there.
Your intell maybe farther better than mine.
If I recall, at that time the CIA and FBI were not allowed to share info due to some Clinton admin edict. I assume that is the Gorelick wall you are referring to. I couldn’t remember the name.
As I recall, emotions were very high after 9/11. A lot of non-muslim(Indian for example) were being targeted. I have always been of the opinion that he said the “religion of peace” thing was to tamp down violence in the country after a devastating attack when a lot of people were looking for vengence. I could sure be wrong.
Much like he said “go out and shop”. IMHO, that was to keep our economy from falling into the dump. And, miraculosly, it didn’t (not right then, anyway.)
GWB did a lot wrong..but I shudder to think that we could have had Gore or Kerry at the helm. Or God forbid, Obarry at the helm in a similar crisis.
And there is this:

I can’t tell you what h*ll we ended up in for raising the alarm on that one, six days before the bang.
Ditto.
But once again..we have the luxury of looking back and seeing the lead up to the event.
In this country (and I am glad) you really can’t arrest someone because they MIGHT do something. Some of the hijackers were illegal...but we know how that goes.
As soon as my crystal ball clears up..I’ll let you know what might happen tomorrow.
I hate that is was foggy during the Libya event.
BS. Many knew exactly what was going on. And Democrats were in the planning loop and profited handsomely.
That’s right. The Democrats actively helped kill 3000 Americans.
I question how you know this. And what specific Dems profitted?
I don’t like the Dems anymore than you do, but why do you think this?
I’ll check back with you tomorrow, I’m pretty tired right now.
Rice will be another bump in the road as she is thrown under the bus. The call for resignation should go to Zer0, who lives up to his nickname every day.
