This is the warning given to NATION SECURITY ADVISOR Condoleeza Rice in July of 2001 by then Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a full two months before the attacks of September 11, 2001. Unless it has slipped your mind, there was also another warning in the form of a Presidential Daily Briefing handed to the cabal at Crawford on August 6, 2001, just 36 days before the attacks, that was entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside US".

Some of you may remember the events of that day vicariously through the television, as I did, and some of you may have actually experienced that day very personally.

GOD DAMN IT!!!

Sorry. All the Foley and N Korea are getting to me.

I am still new here on DU. I found this place on a quest for those who feel what I am feeling. This place fits me like a glove and as new as I am here, it's the FIRST time I've ever supported any website other than my own. I actually made a donation. Unprecedented for me. I fell in love with you people right from the get-go. And now, I am asking a favor.

Foley and Hastert and the whole Page situation is cause for concern and so is the N Korea thing, but those things have nowhere near the implications of having ignored warnings that would have saved thousands of lives not just in the attacks of 9/11 but also in Iraq.

My favor is this, keep this post kicked and add more links and info and leads to it and vote it to the main page and lets just not forget this issue and let it slip into oblivion.

Thanks to all of you.
