Repeating your lies 10,000 times isn't going to make them come true, even if it does succeed with some, as proven by Marxists and Nazis.

Congress Was Warned Two Months Before 9/11 Attacks Jeff Johnson, CNSNews.com Thursday, Sept. 19, 2002 Capitol Hill -- The lead investigator for the joint House and Senate inquiry said in the committee's first public hearing Wednesday that Congress was warned that Osama bin Laden was planning a large-scale attack against U.S. or Israeli interests two months before Sept. 11, 2001. There was "a modest, but relatively steady stream of intelligence information indicating the possibility of terrorist attacks inside the United States," according to the joint committee's staff director, Eleanor Hill. "They generally did not contain specific information as to where, when and how a terrorist attack might occur and generally are not corroborated by further information," she said in a prepared statement. Based on information gathered by the committee, there were a total of 28 pieces of intelligence information gathered after June 1998 that hinted bin Laden wanted to strike the U.S., including 11 indicating an imminent attack after March 2001. Additionally, 12 so-called "intelligence indicators" lead analysts to believe that al-Qaeda would use airplanes to strike targets in Washington, D.C., and New York. Specific details were lacking from those "indicators," Hill said, and the reports were frequently from sources with questionable credibility and could not be corroborated. That lack of corroboration did not stop intelligence officials from issuing a sobering warning in a briefing to congressional leaders in July 2001. "We believe that [bin Laden] will launch a significant terrorist attack against U.S. and/or Israeli interests in the coming weeks," the warning stated. "The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning." .... newsmax.com
