>>> The PDB revealed another very fascinating item—the analyst who wrote the piece had access to details about FBI investigations. This is something I never had access to when I was writing PDBs. It was forbidden territory. In other words, Bill Clinton has opened some level of cooperation between the FBI and CIA. The FBI, in a break with tradition, was telling the CIA what it was doing in some measure. Unfortunately, with the benefit of hindsight, not enough was shared.<<<
Geez, the GOPwinger spin doesn't seem to indicate this. I think most people who've been watching the news probably think the opposite, that the FBI and CIA didn't cross-reference information.
Let's face it. Bush, and his energy handlers, were deep the doo (or oil goo), negotiating the pipeline with the Taliban, thinking the Taliban--already greased with 43 million in aid and keen on having the Afghanistan sanctions lifted--would eventually hand over Bin Laden and, thus, Bush was prepared to sustain what he probably perceived would be a minor Al Qaeda attack against the US, because he knew he could trump such an incident by bringing Saddam (then America's oldest truest villain) down from a successful invasion of Iraq. Moreover, Clinton got reelected after the first World Trade Center bombing, so why would this politically hurt Bush?
The PDB was a mere inconvience and the president kept with his golf plans, probably spilling out homo and anti-hillary jokes while riding merrily in his golf cart.
Of course, the other matter discounted in the Bush thinking, besides the enormity of the Twin Towers/Pentagon tragedy, has become the genuine and god-blessed persistence from the widows of the 9/11 victims! When it comes to oil and people? Bush picks oil! That's it in a nutshell!!! |
