... The Washington Post reported Saturday that a 1998 top-secret briefing memo to the president was entitled, "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S" and focused mainly on past efforts by the alleged terrorist mastermind to infiltrate the U.S. and hit targets here.
The document, known as the President's Daily Briefing, underscored that bin Laden and his followers hoped to "bring the fight to America," in part as retaliation for U.S. missile strikes on al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in 1998, the Post quotes knowledgeable sources as saying.
Mr. Bush had specifically asked for an intelligence analysis of possible al Qaeda attacks within the U.S., because most of the information presented to him over the summer about al Qaeda focused on threats against U.S. targets overseas, sources told the Post.

You got that right ... they went from "President Bush" to "the 'President was briefed in 1998" in the next few paragraphs and then "Mr. Bush". I believe this deserves some major Freeping. Even something as subtle as that counts.

It seems as if the presstitutes have noticed now that they've opened a can of worms that they definitely don't like the look of; look at the dates in that article ... 1995, 1996 1998 and 1999. Who was President then? The man they protected and called God ... his Perfectness, the Lord President William Jefferson Clinton.

What does the President know and when did he know it, indeed. Unfortunately for them, they're discovering that the question should rightfully be asked of the President during those years since that President actually did recieve a warning that specifically spoke of aircraft being used as missiles. What did he do about it?

Whats even more interesting to me is that the 1998 briefing came because apparantly a concrete threat of retaliation for Clinton's "night-before-Lewinsky-testifies-so-I-better wag-the-dog" missile attacks had been determined. Nothing was done. In the summer of 2001, President BUSH was the one who took threats seriously and requested regular breifings on this topic. I quote from the article:

Mr. Bush had specifically asked for an intelligence analysis of possible al Qaeda attacks within the U.S., because most of the information presented to him over the summer about al Qaeda focused on threats against U.S. targets overseas, sources told the Post.

So as I read it, Bush was attempting to identify if the attacks could come within the US, since his intelligence people had neglected to tell him about internal threats. In other words, he caught them with their pants down in the Summer and was correcting it by shifting their focus but it was too late. Oh boy, his presidency is done if he keeps making correct decisions like that one!
