Bush/Cheney Ignored 9/11 Warnings Then Hid The Fact....

It has long been suspected that the George W. Bush administration had advance warning of the 9/11 attacks and did nothing to respond to it. Those suspicions have now been confirmed by former CIA Director George Tenet and counter-terrorism chief Cofer Black in an astonishing new interview with POLITICO, in which they reveal that they informed the Bush administration in May 2001 of an imminent terrorist attack, and those warnings were deliberately ignored with all the hubris that has come to characterize Bush’s disastrous presidency.

Tenet recounts how the CIA presented a plan (the “Blue Sky” paper) to deal with the growing threat from al-Qaeda in early 2001 – and were not only told to shelve the plan, they were told to hide the paper trail that showed that the Administration had been warned. The Bush Administration refused to recognize the severity of the threat posed by al-Qaeda: “I think they were mentally stuck back eight years [before]. They were used to terrorists being Euro-lefties—they drink champagne by night, blow things up during the day, how bad can this be? And it was a very difficult sell to communicate the urgency to this” said Tenet.



On July 10th, the CIA’s al-Qaeda unit presented concrete evidence that there would be a significant terrorist attack on American soil. “The information that we had compiled was absolutely compelling. It was multiple-sourced. And it was sort of the last straw” says Cofer. He details how National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice was told that “there will be significant terrorist attacks against the United States in the coming weeks or months. The attacks will be spectacular. They may be multiple. Al Qaeda’s intention is the destruction of the United States.” And nothing was done.

And so, with nineteen volunteers and a budget of around $500,000, al-Qaeda was able to destroy the World Trade Centers, kill thousands of Americans, and provoke us into two horrendously expensive wars that destabilized the geopolitical world order and led to the deaths of millions across the world. George Bush and Dick Cheney’s criminal negligence is difficult to understand. Were they really so arrogant that they refused to acknowledge the threat posed by Muslim extremists? Or were they silently complicit? “To me it remains incomprehensible still. I mean, how is it that you could warn senior people so many times and nothing actually happened? It’s kind of like The Twilight Zone,” laments Tenet. If the case for war crimes against Bush and Cheney isn’t strong enough already, treason can now be added to that list. There is no punishment great enough for what they’ve done to our nation and the world.


.....and SOME TODAY will say that GWBush is NOT one of THE worst Presidents this country has ever elected.....then again that first time around I'm not sure he was ever elected. Yet today they must be around 199 Bengazi investigations while we carry on as if the Bush/Cheney regime didn't have any knowledge of the pending attacks. They both will say though THEY protected us while THEY were in office....yeah right.

All I have to say is...
Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi

Takes the oath of office in January, ignores intelligence like this in May. It wasn't circumstance that turned Bush into the worst President in U.S. history. He was that from the very beginning.

Funny reading this. This is just like Clinton blaming bengazi on a video. Here we have charter members of the coalition of the unwilling refusing to accept that the world is burning under a foreign policy they have advocated for.

Bentleyspop

This is old news.

However, for those blaming bush, you've got the wrong guy.

He is to blame for nothing as he was never aware of anything.

Blame should fall on those actually in charge...

Cheney
Rove
Rumsfeld
Powell
Etc

How so? I haven't seen any discussion on post 9-11 foreign policy. Everything I see here is about the lead up to the attack.
Maybe you are confused about which thread you are in?

That is brutal. It sounds like GWB was run over by Dick Cheney.

It must suck to be like Tenet and to pass on info and not be able to speak out about it due to national security.

We are one day after a horrific attack and we are right back to Bush new about 9/11. Move along...nothing to see here.

The article was published yesterday. Before the attacks.

And let's not forget that Tenet worked for Clinton prior to Bush. That same Clinton who did so much to go after Bin Laden. His wife is now running and her foreign policy is an absolute disaster. Must. Place. Blame.

The same day that Obama said ISIS was contained. These books are all about political cover for the former secretary of state and first lady. But at this point what difference does it make...

He truly was a mindless, helpless gerbil. A compliant puppet.

I can't help feel that much of the Obama bashing is residual guilt on the part of some that promoted Bush. They truly understand what a weakling they backed and, with egg on their face, they attempt to discredit Obama to regain some of their dignity: "Look... the guy you voted for sucks too! We're all stupid!"

At the end of it accountability is no where to de found by any administrations be it past present or future ones ...

I don't think invading Iraq, taking out Saddam and seeing the surge through is the sign of a weakling. The man as part of the Anbar awakening was turning enemies into allies and triggered the green revolution. The AMT can hate all they want but the man at least had a strategy for setting the middle east right. Now all we have are discarded gains and rudderless leadership masquerading as soft, liberal idealism. So no guilt here...just general feelings of disgust.

Dick Cheney find yourself another country, to be part of!

I'll say it again....Bush had nothing to do with anything. Invading Iraq, of which the planning started before the 2000 election, was all on Dick Cheney. He had a hard on for saddam ever since Gulf War 1.

Bush has no strategy for anything at any time.

My understanding of Bush and Co.'s "strategy" was to invade Iraq and the American's would be met with open arms and much rejoicing. They thought that soon after, American style democracy would cascade through the Middle East and all would be well. That strategy was completely irresponsible and out of touch with reality. I guess there could be another strategy that I wasn't aware of?

Yes, there was another strategy, the real one. The real strategy was to destabilize the region so that our presence would be required in perpetuity. The goal was to keep oil trading in US dollars and create a "market" for Haliburton, KBR, CACI, Titan, etc to rake in billions in no-bid, cost plus contracts that give incentive to spend as much as possible.
It was a success.

that regime was despicable and they all should be rotting in prison.
