9/11 Timeline: "Intelligence Warnings"
1998: Indonesia Gives US Warning of 9/11 Attack?
Hendropriyono, the Indonesian chief of intelligence, will later claim that, “[we] had intelligence predicting the September 11 attacks three years before it happened but nobody believed us.” He says Indonesian intelligence agents identify bin Laden as the leader of the group plotting the attack and that the US disregards the warning, but otherwise offers no additional details. The Associated Press notes, “Indonesia’s intelligence services are not renowned for their accuracy.” [Associated Press, 7/9/2003]

1999: British Intelligence Warns al-Qaeda Plans to Use Aircraft, Possibly as Flying Bombs
MI6, the British intelligence agency, gives a secret report to liaison staff at the US embassy in London. The reports states that al-Qaeda has plans to use “commercial aircraft” in “unconventional ways,” “possibly as flying bombs.” [Sunday Times (London), 6/9/2002]

March 1999: Germany Provides CIA Hijacker’s Name and Telephone Number
German intelligence gives the CIA the first name of hijacker Marwan Alshehhi and his telephone number in the United Arab Emirates. The Germans learned the information from surveillance of suspected Islamic militants. They tell the CIA that Alshehhi has been in contact with suspected al-Qaeda members Mohammed Haydar Zammar and Mamoun Darkazanli. He is described as a United Arab Emirates student who has spent some time studying in Germany. [US Congress, 7/24/2003; Deutsche Presse-Agentur (Hamburg), 8/13/2003; New York Times, 2/24/2004] The Germans consider this information “particularly valuable” and ask the CIA to track Alshehhi, but the CIA never responds until after the 9/11 attacks. The CIA decides at the time that this “Marwan” is probably an associate of bin Laden but never track him down. It is not clear why the CIA fails to act, or if they learn his last name before 9/11. [New York Times, 2/24/2004] The Germans monitor other calls between Alshehhi and Zammar, but it isn’t clear if the CIA is also told of these or not (see September 21, 1999).

August 12, 2000: Italian Intelligence Wiretap of al-Qaeda Cell Reveals Massive Aircraft-based Strike
Italian intelligence successfully wiretap the al-Qaeda cell in Milan, Italy from late 1999 until the summer of 2001. [Boston Globe, 8/4/2002] In a wiretapped conversation from this day, suspected Yemeni Abdulsalam Ali Abdulrahman tells wanted Egyptian Mahmoud Es Sayed about a massive strike against the enemies of Islam involving aircraft and the sky, a blow that “will be written about in all the newspapers of the world. This will be one of those strikes that will never be forgotten. ... This is a terrifying thing. This is a thing that will spread from south to north, from east to west: The person who came up with this program is a madman from a madhouse, a madman but a genius.” In another conversation, Abdulrahman tells Es Sayed: “I’m studying airplanes. I hope, God willing, that I can bring you a window or a piece of an airplane the next time we see each other.” The comment is followed by laughter. Beginning in October 2000, FBI experts will help Italian police analyze the intercepts and warnings. Neither Italy nor the FBI will understand their meaning until after 9/11. [Boston Globe, 8/4/2002]

Clinton would be faced with clear acts of terrorism carried out by an organization with undeniable state support. But again, busy with other things, he did little. Arrrgh! Please people, let's get it right. Clinton and Albright failed to respond because it was the policy of their administration to placate Islamists and achieve peace by mainstreaming terrorism. They were not asleep. This was their idea of how to achieve an Israeli-Arafat deal that was supposed to give Bubba a Nobel Peace prize and secure his "legacy". Nothing would be done to upset Arafat. Albright still espouses this philosophy. This is why the Rats are so dangerous. They will bring back these policies if they have the power to do so.
Bill O'Reilly is the only national commentator I've heard to correctly outline the Clinton policy on Islamic appeasement.
To: smoothsailing
Yeah I agree Clinton and his cohorts screwed up big time
But the GOP controlled the Senate and House
Was there any Hue and Cry raised over terrorism by any of the GOP leadership ?
In fact did Bush make it an issue in his 2000 Campaign against Gore ?
Clinton also drasticaly reduced the military BUT it is congress's job as given in the Constitution to Raise and Maintain the Army
He couldn't do it without their consent

"On August 7, 1998, bombs exploded at U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. More than 200 people were killed, including 12 Americans. The morning of the attacks, Clinton said, “We will use all the means at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice, no matter what or how long it takes. . . . We are determined to get answers and justice.”
Investigators quickly discovered that bin Laden was behind the attacks. On August 20, Clinton ordered cruise-missile strikes on a bin Laden camp in Afghanistan and the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan. But the strikes were at best ineffectual. There was little convincing evidence that the pharmaceutical factory, which admin istration officials believed was involved in the production of material for chemical weapons, actually was part of a weapons-making operation, and the cruise missiles in Afghanistan missed bin Laden and his deputies."
The chemicals came from Iraq (Saddam Hussein) - one of many links between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.

What the Clintonistas and stripped suits in foggy bottom failed to realize was that these acts of terror starting with the 1993 WTC bombing were acts of war and not police actions. I found it almost pathetic in the
Path to 9-11 mini-series how there were plans to ARREST Bin Laden rather than treat him no differently than we did Zarqawi and kill him as an act of war.
Can anyone imagine in 1942 Sec. of State Cordell Hull, OSS head Bill Donovan and J. Edgar Hoover planning to send a group of FBI agents to pick up Japanese government officials for trial in US federal courts on murder charges for the Pearl Harbor bombing?

The Nairobi Embassy bombing caused 5,000 casualties. The 200 killed including 12 Americans does not adequately reflect how big it really was.
