I don't know ... He certainly had no qualms about slaughtering tens of thousands of Iraqis. Arugula Latte Oct 2015 #50
I'm not sure they cared too much about the potential consequences of their actions in Iraq Proud Liberal Dem Oct 2015 #89
I didn't say he welcomed it; my opinion is that it didn't bother him much. Arugula Latte Oct 2015 #108

But we knew already that Bush and Cheney were warned by the intel community Rex Oct 2015 #28
^^^THAT^^^ onecaliberal Oct 2015 #38
There is also documented proof the CIA had surveillance on some of the terrorists in Florida Rex Oct 2015 #40
Ding! onecaliberal Oct 2015 #42
it is so obvious, that the people making excuses for the Bush WH are like open books. Rex Oct 2015 #45
That would be the Clinton WH, correct? hack89 Oct 2015 #43
Yes and the Clintons passed on all that information to the Bush WH. Rex Oct 2015 #44
Why didn't Clinton simply arrest the hijackers if they knew everything about them? hack89 Oct 2015 #46
You mean for the two weeks he was still in office? Rex Oct 2015 #48
The hijackers were in a America for an entire year before Bush took office hack89 Oct 2015 #51
And when The Clinton WH told the Bush WH about it and gave them all the intel Rex Oct 2015 #52
If the Intel was that detailed than why didn't they arrest the hijackers? hack89 Oct 2015 #55
They were leaving the WH because the term was up and a new group of people were inbound. Rex Oct 2015 #56
So for a year they were clueless and two weeks before leaving they knew everything? hack89 Oct 2015 #62
The Clintons had far less time then the Bush team did and all the info. Rex Oct 2015 #68
You said Clinton gave them all this great intel. hack89 Oct 2015 #82
They ignored it all, boy are you a funny one. Nice defence of Bush and Cheney but fail. Rex Oct 2015 #96
If it was actionable intel hack89 Oct 2015 #98
Obviously they didn't ignore anything and had it all in the report Bush ignored. Rex Oct 2015 #100
So writing a report is action in your mind? hack89 Oct 2015 #102
No in my mind Bush ignored all warning signs from every security report handed to him Rex Oct 2015 #103
You said Clinton gave him everything he needed to stop 911 hack89 Oct 2015 #104
Yes that is what I meant, fail at mind reading. Rex Oct 2015 #105
You said all the WH had to do was tell the CIA to pick up the hijackers hack89 Oct 2015 #106
I said Clinton gave Bush all he needed and Bush ignored it all and failed the country on 9/11. Rex Oct 2015 #107
No. That is exactly what you said in the post hack89 Oct 2015 #109
No you asked me why Clinton did not do something and you would have to ask him personally Rex Oct 2015 #110
For suspicion? B Calm Oct 2015 #57
LOL! I love this! Rex Oct 2015 #59
The poster I am replying to seems to think it was enough for Bush to arrest them hack89 Oct 2015 #63
Maybe Bush should have kept an eye on them since he was briefed about it? B Calm Oct 2015 #65
He didn't read the briefing. He said as much. Rex Oct 2015 #72
But was he? hack89 Oct 2015 #83
A lot more intel and terrorists flying by mid 2000? Rex Oct 2015 #70
It said nothing about flying into buildings jberryhill Oct 2015 #69
True it just mentioned hijacking a plane. Rex Oct 2015 #73
It mentioned explosives, which weren't used... jberryhill Oct 2015 #76
It also mentioned OBL was thinking about hijacking plane(s). Rex Oct 2015 #77
There WAS Intel about them hijacking planes and flying them into buildings. onecaliberal Oct 2015 #84
Not in that memo jberryhill Oct 2015 #87
I said Intel. Did you read the comment. onecaliberal Oct 2015 #91
Bush had a chance to be a hero and ignored his own intel community for 8 months. Rex Oct 2015 #33
Expecting yes, because he was never in charge anyway Puzzledtraveller Oct 2015 #34

"You've covered your ass" ... Arugula Latte Oct 2015 #49
Why else would he take a month-long vacation 8 months into his term? arcane1 Oct 2015 #54
He had to be ready to maybe jump on the Saudi plane that flew out of country the next day. Rex Oct 2015 #61
Well, PNAC did say they needed a "new Pearl Harbor" so that we could go to war with Iraq jfern Oct 2015 #71
Yeah well that is something else not supposed to be talked about. Rex Oct 2015 #75

I wouldn't say he welcomed the attacks. louis-t Oct 2015 #79
