2. Incredibly pathetic

A CIA representative gives the president of the United States a daily briefing which is prepared for the President of the United States and said President believes that act is covering one's ass. bush is nothing but scum of the earth dirt bag, a typical hero to "conservative" morons who daily drag our country through the mud.

3. I believe that was the person who briefs the president

that quote I recall was from when he received his OBL is determined to attack America briefing in August 2001.

4. It's in Ron Suskind's book, "The One-Percent Doctrine":

In reality, this is NOT what happened. At the 9/11 Commission hearings, Rice testified that the August 6, 2001 briefing was a "historical document" and not considered a "warning" : "This was not a 'threat report... "did not warn of any coming attack inside the United States." Contrary to Bush being "tired of swatting flies," he was out in Crawford doing just that as he cleared some brush on vacation, ignoring the warnings he'd received and saying that attack was not considered "imminent." (Ron Suskind's "The One Percent Doctrine" opens with Bush in Crawford receiving a hyper-nervous CIA operative who tries to warn him about the attack; Bush tells him "All right. You've covered your ass, now").

I'm beating some dumasses over the head with my Peace Sign on this matter at the moment.

Think I just sealed the deal.
