You can't say that here. LOL By the way, I don't think you can say that anywhere anymore.

[wayne_shrugged]

Is this trail of cat sick really worth posting?

[GeronL]

so what??

I think a lot of countries knew and didn't do anything. A lot of the planning took place in Germany for instance.

BTW, reread the antrax letters. Perhaps our fearless leaders caved.

The mossad sent a delegation to CIA headquarters they knew the date but they didn't know what the attack would be since as the recent Bin Laden tape showed only Bin Laden Al Zawahari and Mohammad Atta knew. Antiwar.com is just a commie anti american website they want war with Israel but not with Al Qaeda righhhhhhhht.

Israeli security issued urgent warning to CIA of large-scale terror attacks
By David Wastell in Washington and Philip Jacobson in Jerusalem

ISRAELI intelligence officials say that they warned their counterparts in the United States last month that large-scale terrorist attacks on highly visible targets on the American mainland were imminent.

The attacks on the World Trade Centre's twin towers and the Pentagon were humiliating blows to the intelligence services, which failed to foresee them, and to the defence forces of the most powerful nation in the world, which failed to deflect them.

The Telegraph has learnt that two senior experts with Mossad, the Israeli military intelligence service, were sent to Washington in August to alert the CIA and FBI to the existence of a cell of as many of 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation.

"They had no specific information about what was being planned but linked the plot to Osama bin Laden and told the Americans that there were strong grounds for suspecting Iraqi involvement," said a senior Israeli security official.

The CIA has said that it had no hard information that would have led to the prevention of the hijacking, but the FBI said it believed that cells operating within America and totalling at least 50 terrorists were behind last week's devastating hijacks; the names of new suspects are being added to the list daily.

America's intelligence agencies are being widely blamed for their failure to predict the attacks, or anything like them, and for not discovering any of the terrorist cells before the hijackings on Tuesday. Some of those who took part had lived in the US for months, or even years.

Evidence that a clear Israeli warning was delivered to American authorities, but ignored, would be a further blow to the reputation of the CIA, which is under fire for its failure last week.

The KKKlintoons? The one-celled (barely) alive entities that can procreate in a sink on their way down the drain pipes?

Perhaps, you have a point...

[NovemberCharlie]

Antiwar.com communist? They're funded by CLS.

[weikel]

CLS??? sorry I don't know what that acronym stands for.

[D-fendr]

Clymer Lip Service.

[NovemberCharlie]

CLS is the Center for Libertarian Studies. Founded by Murray Rothbard, they also fund LewRockwell.com and are affiliated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute. About as far away from communists as you can get.

[D-fendr]

No, they're not communists. They just happen to agree with the Chicoms foreign policy on Taiwan and Tibet and run articles touting Mao, Stalin and Fidel.

Perhaps their left/right coalition direction lost an oar.

[ambrose]

Hell... most of the raghead hijackers did not have advance notice of 9/11...

[D-fendr]

Don't confuse with the facts. Justin is the internet's Oliver Stone wannabe.

[D-fendr]

Have you ever replied to a post. Have you ever done anything here except post articles from all-we-are-saying-is-give-peace-a-chance.com?

Is this your job or your hobby?

Do you really exist?

He's probably Mr. Raimundo himself, trolling for hits.

[LenS]

The problem for these nuts is that Abe Lincoln is their anti-christ (they blame him for govt. expansion, but they're mainly torqued that he freed the slaves). So anyone connected to the GOP inherits their hatred of him. Being purists, they'd much rather ally themselves with the enemies of the US than with it's defenders, since they tend to be GOP. Thus, we get their alliance with Islamic fundamentalists, domestic marxists, and foreign communist nations. For them, the heirs of Lincoln are more dangerous than mass murderers.

[BrooklynGOP]

Uh. Any information that Israel passes to US, that implicates arabs/muslims in crimes of any kind, causes our arabist state dept (and many on FR) to accuse Israel of manipulating/making up/etc the facts to further its own agenda and to discredit arabs/muslims.
