The Bush folks
had been developing a plan to go
after al-Qaeda, & it had just been
shown to the Pres. the day before
9-11.


Any links to document this? I've done dozens of google searches and turned up nothing.............

No, I just recall reading about it
sometime after 9-11, in an article
somewhere. Might also have heard
Condi Rice reference it.

Maybe Woodward's book "Bush at
War" would cover it.

Also remember that in less than
two months the 9-11 Commission
will release their report. Papers
from the WH have been shown them,
& Condi, the Pres. & other admin.
members have or will talk to them.

That is bound to be covered.

But plenty of scum are out to
destroy this President.

"India is believed to have joined Russia, the USA and Iran in a concerted front against Afghanistan's Taliban regime.
...Several recent meetings between the newly instituted Indo-US and Indo-Russian joint working groups on terrorism led to this effort to tactically and logistically counter the Taliban.
Intelligence sources in Delhi said that while India, Russia and Iran were leading the anti-Taliban campaign on the ground, Washington was giving the Northern Alliance information and logistic support. "

This came out only two months after Bush took office. Six months before the attack.
It doesn't say a whole lot about what Bush was doing but given the secrecy that would be involved I'm surprised even this much was reported.

Here's a link to the story about the plans to go after Al Qaeda being on Bush's desk just before 9/11.
