Prior to 9-11, was Bush warned directly about an imminent attack by Bin Laden using airplanes?

WhatYouTalkinAbout · 21-04-08

Please just answer yes or no. And if your answer is yes, what specifically did he do about it??(In case you aren't sure....)http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C03E2DB1139F935A25756C0A9649C8B 63http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2004/04/b44925.htmlOne reason I asked the question this was is because very recently a conservative posted a question with the claim that liberals can never answer a yes or no question. This, as almost always is the case when it comes to conservative claims, shows that the exact opposite is true. It is the conservative Bush supporters who cannot answer a basic yes or no question with a simple answer. And no matter how much you all try to explain it away....Bush was warned. And it was in the Presidential Daily Brief...which means it was important and he needed to take note of it....yet he ignored it.Keep sucking down the koolaid....ignorant conservatives are ruining this great country.

Absolutely YES

No. The stories you reference are nothing more then the standard warnings etc. of probably EVERY year

Yes. Did nothing, kept reading fairy tale stories to the kiddies in class.He planned it actually so that the Patriot Act he passed without Congress actually reading it could take away more rights and play upon the fears of U.S citizens. How can planes disappear off the radar (radar position turned off just like when Pearl Harbor's radar was turned off so people will be killed and America has an excuse to go to war.) Sorry, sad, but the truth.

What I want to know is if the Clinton administration knew as well,why didn't they nail the highjackers who were here already. So you see,the blame can go back and forth.

You cannot answer yes or no and this isnt a courtroom- Bush didnt even have all his own people into place for a few months and his people were working round the clock on assessing threats- where was the other guy for 8 yrs?Having said that, there is only one group to blame for 9/11- and one group alone- the terrorists that planned, financed and conducted the activities of that day

Very much so.He, or his administration, was also told by the outgoing Clinton administration, that bin Laden would be the largest foreign problem he'd face.But since the overriding philosophy of the pre-9/11 Bush administration was "if Clinton did it, its bad", they ignored the advice and warnings.

yes and he did nothin about it becuase its another aportunity to go to war with the middleast and finish wat his father started

No one came in and said, "Mr. President, there will be an attack on 9/11 and planes will smash into...."That *never* happened.There had been intelligence reports of a possible planned attack and the possibility of planes being used. The CIA and other agencies never put the puzzle together in time for the President to act.

I can't believe it. Oh my God what has Bush done. He let these planes take out over 3000 Americans.
