That's got to be a lie. Bush and his cabinet got the only information available to them about the Al Qaida through the same intelligence Clinton had. How could Bush ignore his own Dept. of Defense?

2. BUSH IGNORED THE HART-RUDMAN COMMISSION TERRORISM REPORT, WHICH OUTLINED A RANGE OF U.S. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES.

How can you prove that Bush did not make any decisions based on that report unless Bush himself says he did not? Does Barbara live under a desk in the Oval office?

3. BUSH FAILED TO GET OVER 100,000 HOURS OF VALUABLE TERRORISM-RELATED TAPINGS TRANSLATED BY LINGUISTS AT THE F.B.I, A FULL 3 YEARS AFTER 9/11. IN FACT, JOHN ASHCROFT REFUSED TO ENDORSE FBI REQUESTS FOR $58 MILLION FOR NEW COUNTERTERRORISM FIELD AGENTS, TRANSLATORS AND INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS.

Apples and Oranges. 1. The President doesn't get thousand's of hours of valuable tapes, he doesn't have the time. But, he is briefed on a regular basis on every bit of intelligence available. 2. So what? How much do you think those box cutters cost?

4. BUSH HELD NO FACE TO FACE MEETINGS WITH HIS TERRORISM CHIEF RICHARD CLARK AND NEITHER DID DICK CHENEY WHO WAS HEAD OF THE TERRORISM TASK FORCE.
|
Didn't Condaleeza Rice? Isn't that her responsibility? Was Bush suppposed to meet with these people before or after he analyzed the 100,000 hours of terrorist-related tapings?

5. BUSH CONTINUED HIS VACATION ON THE DAY HE RECEIVED A BRIEFING ABOUT THE IMPENDING ATTACK ON AMERICA.
|
He was not briefed about an impending attack on America. The attack was on U.S. interests globally. Entire fleets were rerouted in the Middle East, airports were put on alert and much more. It simply was not publicized.

6. KNOWING ABOUT THE IMPENDING HIJACKINGS, BUSH DID NOTHING TO BEEF UP AIRLINE SECURITY.
|
All major transporation systems were put on alert. Condi Rice personally met with those responsible. Its on the record. I'm not going to look it up for you. It's there for those who really want the truth, fully disclosed.

7. BUSH'S ATTORNEY GENERAL, JOHN ASHCROFT, TOLD THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I. TO NOT TELL HIM ANYTHING MORE ABOUT TERRORISM.
|
He did not give anyone a blanket order to not discuss terrorism, unless you can prove otherwise.

8. BUSH WAS INACTIVE AND INDECISIVE FOR A FULL 7 MINUTES THE MORNING OF 9/11 WHEN INFORMED OF THE ATTACK ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. IF BUSH HAD ACTED QUICKLY AND INTELLIGENTLY, PERHAPS HE COULD HAVE GIVEN AN ORDER TO SHOOT DOWN THE PLANE HEADED TOWARD THE PENTAGON AND SAVED THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO WERE KILLED.
|
That is exactly what Osama said in his last tape. But, no one can really ascertain what was going on until the second plane made it clear the first plane was not a horrible accident. I can't imagine an American citizen giving comfort to the enemy by asserting Osama knows more than our own President during the attack.

9. BUSH INVADED IRAQ WITH THE RATIONALE OF IMAGINARY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND IGNORED THE REAL THREAT IN AFGHANNISTAN. NOW WE HAVE A TERRORIST BREEDING GROUND IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND OSAMA BIN LADEN AND ABU MUSSAB AL-ZARQAWI, A RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST, RUNNING FREE.
|
We aren't done yet. No we have not found stockpiles of WMD's in Iraq. That's why we went in, to ascertain what we now can unequivocally state as fact. Even the U.N. couldln't get a straight answer from Saddam.
10. BUSH IGNORED THE ADVICE OF THE GENERALS IN THE MILITARY WHO PROVED TO BE RIGHT.
11. BUSH OPPOSED THE CREATION OF A DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
12. BUSH OPPOSED THE CREATION OF THE 9/11 COMMISSION.
13. MORE THAN 3 YEARS LATER, OUR BORDERS, PORTS, AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE STILL NOT SECURE.
14. BUSH SUPPRESSED THE RELEASE OF A CIA REPORT THAT LAYS BLAME UPON HIGH-LEVEL PEOPLE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOBS IN A SATISFACTORY MANNER BEFORE 9/11.
15. BUSH FAILED TO SECURE NEARLY 400 TONS OF KNOWN, DEADLY EXPLOSIVES IN IRAQ, AND NOW THEY MAY FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS TO BE USED TO BLOW UP AIRPLANES, LEVEL BUILDINGS AND DETONATE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

The rest are lies too.
