Ugh! WTIC 1080 AM radio just did their 2:30 newsbreak and they're spinning this story against Bush already! Talking Head Dana Whealan just summarized this "1999 Report Warned of Suicide Hijack" story this way (my paraphrase of what she said):

It turns out that someone DID imagine a terrorist attack where planes would be slammed into US buildings as on September 11. A 1999 report warned the executive branch that Osama bin Laden's terrorists might hijack an airliner and dive bomb it into the Pentagon or other government building. The report contrasts with the Bush administration officials' assertions that none in government had imagined an attack like Sept. 11 before that time.

Of the entire article, THAT'S the part of it she just HAD to read! No mention of the Clintoon administration whatsoever! >:-(
And she read it in a very snide tone of voice.

"A 1999 report..."

And the liberal sheep cannot even bother to do the math.
This attack on W is SO incredibly thin, but unfortunately, the same type of people that would vote Beezlebubba to a second term cannot think for themselves...

U.S. warned in 1995 of plot to hijack planes, attack buildings

U.S. warned in 1995 of plot to hijack planes, attack buildings

MANILA, Philippines (CNN) -- The FBI was warned six years ago of a terrorist plot to hijack commercial planes and slam them into the Pentagon, the CIA headquarters and other buildings, Philippine investigators told CNN.

Philippine authorities learned of the plot after a small fire in a Manila apartment, which turned out to be the hideout of Ramzi Yousef, who was later convicted for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Yousef escaped at the time, but agents caught his right-hand man, Abdul Hakim Murad, who told them a chilling tale.

The above is from the link a few posts up regarding the 1995 warning. The idea of flying planes into buildings wa known in 1995, and the information was given to CNN no less, so why is CNN chastising Bush who wasn't President at the time, when Clinton who WAS the sitting president and CNN knew back in 1995? What did CNN know and when did they know it?? /sarcasm
