Docs Show Bush Warned Numerous times before 9/11, Ignored Warnings

new government documents show that president bush ignored numerous warnings prior to the nine eleven attack now we all know luis about that infamous august sixth two thousand one left memo been widened poised to strike uh... from richard clark we all know about that it's been talked about many many times it turns out according to the new york times that there were actually a number of warnings between may and august of two thousand one which the bush administration ignored on may first two thousand one the bush white house was told by the c_i_a_ that a group presently in the u_s_ was planning an attack what do you think about louis are not surprised than on june twenty second two thousand one the bush white house was told an al-qaeda attack could be however video conservatives in the pentagon told the bush white house that the c_i_a_ had been fooled into book believing been line was preparing an attack too distracting u_s_ from saddam hussein imagine that funny even internally this idea even an attack would be really just a distraction from saddam hussein and look at what happened look at how nine eleven was used to go into a rack incredible the attack uh... it's as if the two uh... work one of the same actually so that that's there it was existing way before it even in the attack happened which is very telling is in at the time yen you know that i know this is kind of semi unrelated but i have a question for lewis you know we talk about the idea that you don't blow it and the differences between the parties do you really think this would have happened the same with al gore had in president which arguably he should have been because he won the two thousand election now we're gonna start getting into uh... my my theory about what actually happened nine eleven which i think uh... is uh... we can't really get into that will you know i've been thinking a lot about this and actually it does this conspiracy theory that bush allowed nine eleven to happen i think that needed to buildings or or whatever it yet i actually think something which actually recently heard our friend thom hartman also say which is our don't believe that george w_ bush allowed of the nine eleven that book place to happen i believe that and as we're seeing here george w_ bush thought that an attack from been logged would be something much smaller it would be ten people died thirty people died and he can use that to go into a rack so they're isn't this pressing need to do that much to prevent thirty people dying in a way that might be politically convenient do i think he knew what nine eleven was going to be no i don't think that i don't buy into that conspiracy theory at least i've not seen evidence that n i distinguish doubly bush had no huge imperative to prevent what he thought was going to be a small attack because it would have been politically advantageous that that is is perfectly possible ivy high on the home or here i do believe that bush about the attack to happen would be if if the attack is exactly what what it seems do i think al gore would have allowed it to happen probably not and again i'm not saying it either might have happened anyway i'm using words that may sound like i'm buying into the bush planned and allowed it to happen as it was built planes crashing into buildings i'm not saying that at all what i'm saying is i've believed that bush was getting warnings about been logged the same way he was getting warnings about many others none of whom were presumed to be something on the scale of nine eleven it was presumed to be something small which might then be leveraged and uh... foreign policy you wanted to use let's take a break coming up next topic election prediction expert allan lichtman will tell us who is going to win the twenty twelve election guy hasnt been long since nineteen eighty four police say stay tuned david hackman shelves and david jacqueline dot com
