Condi Knew!
"In essence, Woodward shows that Condi blocked this key warning with what Tenet called "a brush-off". This is gross dereliction of duty and malfeasance, which are seriously punishable crimes. She then perjured herself in front of the 9/11 Commission, as is seen in the Mitchell article excerpt below, when she said the Aug. 6th Presidential Daily Briefing wasn't specific, was past tense, and only mentioned threats from abroad! After these criminal acts, SHE GOT PROMOTED TO SECRETARY OF STATE! What does this say? It incriminates the whole administration. "

1. Good example of the opposite
Showed how far the administration had their collective head's up their collective asses regarding the threat of terrorism.

On July 10, 2001, the book says, Mr. Tenet and his counterterrorism chief, J. Cofer Black, met with Ms. Rice at the White House to impress upon her the seriousness of the intelligence the agency was collecting about an impending attack. But both men came away from the meeting feeling that Ms. Rice had not taken the warnings seriously.

They went over top-secret intelligence pointing to an impending attack and "sounded the loudest warning" to the White House of a likely attack on the U.S. by Bin Laden. Woodward writes that Rice was polite, but, "They felt the brushoff." Tenet and Black were both frustrated.

Tenet also claims that his alarm over Bin Laden was downplayed by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who asked, "Could all this be a grand deception?"

In the spring of 2001 John Ashcroft was told by FBI Director Louis Freeh of the growing threat of terrorism. According to Freeh, "he didn't want to hear about it".

The Aug. 6th Presidential Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Within the U.S." was delivered to George W. Bush at his Crawford, TX ranch by a CIA briefer. In the recent book by Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Ron Suskind called "The One Percent Doctrine", Bush's response to the CIA briefer was, "All right ... You've covered your ass, now."


Not sure how any of this suggests they made the attacks happen.

2. Good example of you assuming something without ...
addressing the issue IMO! :hi:
Where did it say this proves they made the attacks happen? :shrug:
It says they knew they were going to happen. :eyes:

4. You make no sense
You say that by Condi, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Ashcroft not acting on Intelligence data that the somehow means they had foreknowledge of the attacks.

So you think that Al Quaida and Osama DID perpetrate the attacks? But the administration LIHOP?

I thought you were a CD and no planer? Or did the Admin take advantage of the attacks (what was their source?) but pretended to ignore the repeated warnings?

So they knew the timing and exact location of the attacks and added some special effects to bolster the terror so they could invade Afghanistan, tap phone lines, spy on libraries, build secret prisons, take down Saddam, get juicy contracts for Halliburton and ensure the Republican party stays in power by embroiling us in a protracted occupation of Iraq? :eyes:

3. Condi knew what?
That Bin Laden planned an attack on 9-11, or that that there was a conspiracy for our own government to take out the Towers. You cant have it both ways.

6. Sure you can have it both ways.
Condi knew 9/11 was coming, and knew she wasn't supposed
to do anything to hamper it.

That covers both bases.
