Geez! An Asst. Att. General knows but the FBI Director doesn't know, the Attorney General doesn't know, and the President doesn't know.....and should we forget that Gore got 500,000 more votes than Shrub.....and we end of with the famous monkey...the one that sees no evil, hears no evil, but loves the oil industry.
"MANY SIGNS POINTED TO ATTACK
On Friday, Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff cited nearly a decade’s worth of hints that foreign terrorists were targeting Americans.
He did not say that the United States had specific information that could have prevented the Sept. 11 attacks.
On Wednesday, FBI Director Robert Mueller said there may have been missed clues before the attacks and suggested that investigators might have uncovered the plot if they had been more diligent about pursuing leads.
Among the warning signs cited by Chertoff: the bombing of the trade center in 1993; a mid-1990s plan in which an Islamic radical was convicted of plotting to blow up jetliners, New York landmarks and assassinate the pope and fly a small plane into a government building; a death sentence pronounced on Americans by Osama bin Laden in the late 1990s; and the failed millennium bombing plot at Los Angeles International Airport.
“As of Sept. 10th, each of us knew everything we needed to know to tell us there was a possibility of what happened on Sept. 11th,” Chertoff said during a commencement speech to Seton Hall Law School graduates.
“We knew the World Trade Center was a target,” said Chertoff, who was the U.S. attorney for New Jersey when the trade center was attacked in 1993. “We knew an airplane could be used as a weapon.”
He said he was not criticizing the country’s preparedness, but wanted to help better prepare for coming security challenges. And like other top administration officials, Chertoff said the nation will never be “100 percent safe.”
“It is never going to happen,” he said. “Every bridge, every mall is not going to be 100 percent guarded. Although we must work to achieve perfect security, we can only approach it, not attain it.”
But wait a minute...this Asst. Attorney General admits that it was known that they(terrorist) could you a plane as a weapon, but what did Condo Rice tell us only a few short days ago......GeeZ! Can't Shrub's crew get their story together? Condo...didn't know that planes might be used as weapons and now an Asst. Att. General saying they knew....boy, sleeping is going to be so easy tonight....NOT! |
