The declassified intelligence report said the FBI had detected "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings."


Good Job Mr Bush

The first attack was in 1993.

Put down the bong and pick up the help wanted ads. Every post you make is more immature and ill-informed than the last. You seriously seem to have some issues. What's wrong, did a Republican steal your girl?

He's been president elect for 2 days. and idiot republicans are already blaming him for the economic problems that started over a year ago. I think it's about time republicans start taking responsibility for screwing everything up over the last 8 years. but they won't. less taxes and regulation is what got us into this mess. it's also the republican plan for getting us out. you just can't reason with that kind of logic

That would explain why he's all gung ho for raising taxes. Since deadbeats don't pay taxes, it won't affect him.

Doesnt bother me. I love being labeled by liberals. I've shared my background before, I am not a republican, Im in an inter-racial marriage, little mixed kiddies, lived, by my own choice in San Francisco for 6 years, been to more gay/lesbian weddings than anyone on this board, and (as of today!) I am a succesful leader in the financial industry. I have been more places in this country than your average American and my thoughts and beliefs are my own, not something I get from Rove, Repubs or any talking heads.

BSSB;
You didn't answer Jim's questions... he told you about himself...


And all of the above is why I direct a lot of my responses to Jim.
You tend to get an intelligent response, not rhetoric. Which is needed for good discussion, I disagree with Jim a lot, but still respect the opinions he posts.

ok, enough bon mots.

Liberals rule!

so what's worse? letting it happen the first time or letting happen after it's already happened once AND you were warned it was going to happen. you people have got to be the most narrow minded, ignorent bunch of jackasses on the planet. not only do you not have a clue what your talking about, but you are also proud of it. I don't know what's worse. republican hypocrisy know no bounds. all I can say is I feel sorry for you, and the rest of you idiots in the jackass club. and fishbones, how is a clip out of a CNN story immature and ill-informed. oh sorry, your right, it was't a fox news story. so it never happened

I didn't say that clip was immature and ill-informed, I said that you were. You posted a story that had nothing to do with the topic at hand but it furthered your agenda (ill-informed).

Then, you call all of us idiots and jackasses. Well I can only speak for myself, and I'm no idiot. I have been called a jackass by a lot of people, so I won't argue that point with you. It's the comments where you make blanket statements like those that show your immaturity.

Even the super-Libs on this site won't stick up for you. Maybe you're trying to come on a little strong, or maybe you're just an angry peson who sits at home blaming everyone else for your lack of success or happiness. In that case, don't feel bad for me. I'll be fine. In fact, I'll even continue paying my taxes so you can afford to by your weed.

So I make the point that it happened to Bush too after he was warned. and I'm immature and ill-informed? I know the WTC was bombed while Clinton was in office. But is it fair to point that out and not the fact that it happened again on Bush's watch? or let me guess. 9/11 was bush's fault? If your going to fault CLinton for the attacks in 93' why is it ill-informed to assume we can blame bush for 9/11?

I don't fault any one person for events that happen in this country. To do so would be letting too many people off the hook. Clinton and Bush both surrounded themselves with people to help them assess threats and clearly some of these people were wrong. Presidents can only act on information and advice that is given to them by others. They can't read reports on every piece of international intelligence that is gathered by their people.
