So now the truth comes out. I just read about Bush's foreknowledge of the plane hijackings. It always puzzled me that when Bush was interrupted reading The Little Caterpillar That Could, his expression remained impassive as though he'd been expecting the attacks Perhaps this excerpt from the Washington Post explains it: "(This) also represents a shift in the official version of events surrounding the attacks on New York and the Pentagon, which Bush and other administration officials have generally characterized as a sneak attack that could not have been foreseen by U.S. intelligence." Since our so-called Intelligence services and the White House knew of impending attacks, why didn't they TAKE ACTION immediately when the first plane was blatantly steered off course. Why were three more planes allowed to do that over the span of an HOUR.

That is old news and makes no difference in the scheme of things. There are thousands and thousands of threats possible attacks. Several actions were taken in the previous 8 years that reduced substantially the ability of intelligence services to gather direct information with details. The dots were no connected. This happens. But anyone who thinks integrated intilligence and analysis just happens overnight and is not the result of years of planning is a fool. This President was the first President in history who lost months of on the job transition time and had an idiots obstructing the smooth transition of his chosen leadership into their jobs. All transition delay based upon the testimony of a Political Scientist that tens of thousands of folks in Florida went to the polls and were to weak to lift an 8 ounce orange. The strength needed to punch a chad. Also you had a FBI wasting all kinds of time because they lost thousands of pages of evidence in the case of McVey. All lost wasted time because of what and how the organization was run in the past. McVey lived in America and was not found out. These guys all organized outside of the country and were funded by agencies hiding as religious organizations. tom watson tosiwmee
