CC...so what do you think?
We have now established that in July 2001 he was assuring the country, via the New York Times, that any threat of terrorism was exaggerated.
I have never recovered from the attack the left launched on President Bush over the August 2001 PDB (Presidential Daily Briefing--a classified document, incidentally, the contents of which were leaked in May 2002 and got the "Bush Knew" ball rolling--and it rolled again during the 9/11 Commission only to be stopped by facts and was just pushed again by Kook Supreme Cynthia McKinney--who was hailed as seer by none other than a former CIA official named Melvin Goodman).
So, It just occurred to me to check if Johnson opened his yap on the "Bush Knew" accusations due to the August 2001 PDB and of course, he had:
The Out-of-Towner While Bush vacationed, 9/11 warnings went unheard.
excerpt (the memo was declassified during the 9/11 hearings at the urging of the left):
Larry Johnson, a former CIA officer and the State Department's counterterrorism chief from 1989-93, explained on MSNBC this afternoon, during a break in the hearings, why the PDB—let alone the Moussaoui finding—should have compelled everyone to rush back to Washington
~snip~
I submit had there been a real warning in the PDB (there was not) and "everyone" had rushed back to Washington, none other than Larry Johnson would have led the parade calling President Bush a liar who was manipulating Intelligence to instill fear of an exaggerated terrorism threat into Americans.
He makes me absolutely ill.
