1999, Clinton-Berger-Clarke received a warning of a possible Al Qaida strike. They put out the word to every LE officer and federal branch they could. The bomber was caught at the Canadian border and LAX was saved. 2001, in August, after disbanding the Al Qaida desk in the White House and re-assigning Clarke, Bush-Rice received a dire warning about imminent Al Qaida attack inside the US, possibly using hijackings. One call may have prevented 9-11, but not a single call was made. Rice claimed the FBI was already handling it, but we now know they were all asleep at the switch, partly because the president himself was. What galls me is that Bushies have the nerve to brag that Bush is defending us from terrorists. But when the real time came to defend us, he did nothing.

But do you have any ideas, proactive ones, that could have been implemented? Bush Jr.'s administration did not increase security at the airports even though they new that an attack was planned. pnionline.com key information about a possible al-Qaeda attack came to her on July 4 weekend: "But I did manage to have a conversation with a source that weekend. The person told me that there was some concern about an intercept that had been picked up. The incident that had gotten everyone's attention was a conversation between two members of Al Qaida. And they had been talking to one another, supposedly expressing disappointment that the United States had not chosen to retaliate more seriously against what had happened to the Cole. And one Al Qaida operative was overheard saying to the other, 'Don't worry; we're planning something so big now that the U.S. will have to respond.' This had people like Ashcroft worried enough that they wouldn't fly commercial planes but did they alert the airports? NO! And do you know why? Becasue the Project for A New American Century, Cheney's group, wanted a New Pearl Harbor event. They wanted something so upsetting to the American public that it would unite the American people around their plans to remake the middle east.That New Pearl Harbor turned out to be 9/11. Gore wouldn't have stood by hoping for a catastrophe to further an agenda. TP
