Many adults in the United States believe the current federal government has not been completely forthcoming on the issue of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 53 per cent of respondents think the Bush administration is hiding something, and 28 per cent believe it is lying.
Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002.
On Aug. 6, 2001, a Presidential Daily Briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." mentioned "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York."
On May 17, 2002, Bush discussed the situation, saying, "The American people know this about me, and my national security team, and my administration: Had I known that the enemy was going to use airplanes to kill on that fateful morning, I would have done everything in my power to protect the American people."

Hey now look, Sandy didn't intentionally destroy those documents. As it were, he simply placed them on top of the shredder and one of his pet cats "Rosie" jumped up on top of the shredder and pawed the ON button ... and there went the classified documents right into the shredder ....
When asked about it afterwards, Bill Clinton commented that Sandy always loved his pet cats: "Sandy would do anything for thems little critters, even let them walk all over his desk ... a cat lover to the end, thats the Sandy Burger that I know ... nyuk nyuk nyuk"

No, it is CBS & the NY Times who question Bush. These untrustworthy "news" media "poll" the people on the street, (most of whom they have been lying and propagandizing to for years), and when the sheeple respond by spewing out the liberal vomit they've been ingesting from liberal news agencies for years, CBS and the Slimes end up merely reporting their own suspicions about Bush, as articlulated through the mind-numbed robots created by the propaganda machine called "news".
We're almost to the point where there are more of "them" than there are of "us."
