Never Forget Bush: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

[kpete]

Enjoy your weekend of non-stop 9/11 retrospectives on TV, none of which will be as poignant or as relevant as what has just been posted here.

In case everyone forgot, here is the beginning of the memo http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/10/august6.memo/ President Bush received on August 6th, 2001:

Clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate bin Laden since 1997 has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the US. Bin Laden implied in U.S. television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and "bring the fighting to America."

...........................

President Bush's response:

Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

Tenet and his loyalists also settle a few scores with the White House here. The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now." Three months later, with bin Laden holed up in the Afghan mountain redoubt of Tora Bora, the CIA official managing the Afghanistan campaign, Henry A. Crumpton (now the State Department's counterterrorism chief), brought a detailed map to Bush and Cheney. White House accounts have long insisted that Bush had every reason to believe that Pakistan's army and pro-U.S. Afghan militias had bin Laden cornered and that there was no reason to commit large numbers of U.S. troops to get him. But Crumpton's message in the Oval Office, as told through Suskind, was blunt: The surrogate forces were "definitely not" up to the job, and "we're going to lose our prey if we're not careful."

Judicial watch official documents; Cheney divvying up Iraq oil fields for sale BEFORE 9/11

These are documents released by the Commerce Department under a March 5, 2002 court order as a result of Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit concerning the activities of the Cheney Energy Task Force. The documents contain a map of Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, refineries and terminals, as well as 2 charts detailing Iraqi oil and gas projects,
damning enough right there but here is the gorilla;
and “Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts.” The documents are dated March 2001.

Pre-9/11 THEY DID NOTHING
9/11 HAPPENED UNDER ---THE WAR CRIMINALS WATCH!!!

wreaths from THESE people mean NOTHING

................

Bush said to Herskowitz in 1999 that if he has a chance to invade Iraq, he'll do it. Two years before September 11th, mind you. Wow. Did September 11th really change ... anything?

1. K&R!

2. Bingo

[AtheistCrusader]

27. What's the signifcance of that picture?

I don't recognize it.

[Botany]

30. That is Harriet Miers on 8/6/2001 and W with the .....

..... 8/6/2001 PDB (Presidential Daily Briefing) that said :

[Rex]

3. LIHOP

Those two assholes will be remembered for destroying the Republic.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

11. Or, under the PNAC tenets...

MIHOP

[Rex]

15. True PNAC required a 'new Pearl Harbor' and GOSH if they

didn't get it!! Amazing how the PNAC crowd needed something (like a few wars for profit) and got it the next day!

[judy]

44. Yes, glad you mentioned this...

The New American Century is here...but like the 1000 years Reich, it will consume itself. There is no such thing as World domination. It is the same mirage as heroin addicts thinking that using the drug is happiness. A happiness that kills you.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. These are things we must always remember.

We're just jackin' off here if we don't.

[tanyev]

5. Thank you. K&R

[Maccagirl]

6. There will be nary a mention of these facts on MSM

so there you have it.

[LibDemAlways]

7. They got their "New Pearl Harbor" and with it the invasion of Iraq that

they lusted over.

Had there been a non-corrupt 9/11 commission (impossible under Bush and Cheney) and an honest press, every high-ranking official in the previous administration would be in prison right now.

[Old and In the Way]

8. Thanks for posting - something that the corporate media won't be including in this spectacle.

Rehabbing the images of Bush and Cheney will no doubt be the centerpiece of this memorial. I'd much prefer for the media to investigate and explain all of the actions of the Bush administration that led up to their failure on 9/11 - and then indict them for their criminal incompetence and the war crimes they committed as a result of their 9/11 failure.

[russspeakeasy]

20. Wouldn't that be nice.. It would also be a big damn surprise.

:toast:

[ThatsMyBarack]

9. Even before all that....

There was the car wreck of the 2000 sElection. :(

[young_at_heart]

10. The photo of him at the school should make people ask questions

He has a blank stare and does absolutely nothing and the MSM evidently thinks that was just fine! What world leader just sits and does NOTHING?

[LibDemAlways]

13. He and the Mrs. also admitted in an interview that

they enjoyed a good laugh that night before they went to bed because the secret service evidently interrupted their routine. He was not only incapable of action. He was apparently also incapable of sharing in the country's shock and grief.

[SalviaBlue]

12. K&R

[davidwparker]

14. Tom Hartmann will be hosting a live call in show on 9/11

on FSTV (Free Speech TV). Time is 4-7pm EST Sunday.

The site is streamable: http://www.freespeech.org/

17. K & R nt.

[NICO9000]

18. How about remembering 3/13/02?

Barely six months after, he had the nerve to tell the press he "really didn't think about him (UBL) that much...". I have a feeling that date will get no play whatsoever.

My wife and I are going to a museum exhibit tomorrow to get out of the house and away from the teevee. We'll get home by primetime, when hopefully, the networks will have shot its' collective wad on this crap. How can we get over it if it never went away? All by design, sadly.

[young_at_heart]

19. The media has ignored that memo----why??

Can you imagine the nonstop coverage if this had happened under a Democratic president? Fox News would be on it 24/7.

[Yon_Yonson]

22. The mainstream media is owned and operated by the very NEOCON slugs that serve those who orchestrate

9/11 in the first place... the Bush/Cheney Crime Family!

No proof just my own personal belief.

[MissDeeds]

21. Sorry I can only give this one K&R

You're the best, kpete!


Edit to add: I wish I could be around in 100 years to see how history views this whole debacle.

[Generic Other]

23. Seriously is anyone really watching any of that crap?

All I know is the criminals of 9/11 are still free men and you posted two of their pictures in this thread!! Obviously they have no sense of shame or honor.

[OwnedByFerrets]

24. K and R I will never forget...nor will I forget the ONE MILLION

who died in Iraq because of this war criminal or the TRILLIONs of US dollars he wasted for his vanity.

[Mosaic]

46. Thanks

I don't dispute the truth of that statement after years of studying this issue. The truth must be revealed to all.

[McCamy Taylor]

25. How dare you distract from Obama bashing? What is this? A Democratic forum?

K&R

38. Leonardo DaVinci said:

" He who refuses to punish evil commands it to occur."

[ffr]

26. Damn straight!

I have nothing but contempt for those who empower these "Republicans First" criminals.

[rucognizant]

28. I REALLY HOPE..............

No one is going to watch ANYTHING on TV tomorrow. TV USED to be FREE! The airwaves allegedly are the property of the American Public....HA!
2 1/2 years ago I pulled the plug on mine. I got tired of paying for 800 channels of religion, lies and uber sales spiels.
I can't even begin to describe how improved my life is!

[ejpoeta]

36. I am not watching it. Every time anything to do with 911 has come on my husband would change the

channel fast. I think their is a concerted effort here to keep people from moving on. Keep us paralyzed and in fear. That is why they keep doing this. Sure this is the 10th year ,but they have done this EVERY YEAR. this big thing. I could say the media are denigrating the people who died by using this to make money. They are doing that. But it is, in my belief, a concerted effort to keep it--- I mean, when ten years after the site of those towers burning STILL sends that same chill down my spine and the catch in my throat as that day I saw it on the tv. When I freeze.... how can we move on when they won't let us. Sure, remember... But this week long orgy of september 11th is just bs.

I knew it would happen and I am so glad I don't have cable or satellite tv. I can watch a movie on netflix or do something else. Yesterday we took the kids to darien lake. Last weekend the water park is opened. Had some fun. Today I think we'll work on the siding of the house.

I asked my 12 year old yesterday if she knew about 911. she was a baby when it happened. I was home with her when my husband called and told me to turn on the tv. the image of the towers is stil imprinted in my mind. She doesn't. She won't have that feeling about it. And I am thankful for that. I will try to put it in context for her. How many countries go through this stuff all the time. We are not the only ones that have had this happen. I look at them and see how they can move on. Maybe because they have had more experience and we haven't. But part of me can't help thinking there are people who don't want us to move on.

[marias23]

39. No TV for Me Either

WE pulled the plug on cable 6 years ago and got our lives back. Love Netflix for films and save about $50. It is ironic for me as my father was a pioneer in the TV repair business.

[pam4water]

29. My TV is off until the 13th! Just to be safe.

[colsohlibgal]

31. Lies

How Condy Rice could ever say "Nobody could have seen this coming" is beyond me, she must think we're all clueless instead of just too many of us....hence many did not buy into that ridiculous lie . They had been warned, and pretty specifically, by world wide government intelligence types like Mossad, about what was likely coming down and when. That, and the almost total whitewash that the Commission" really got my BS radar buzzing.

I'm not sure exactly of what was what but it doesn't all add up for me. There are many puzzlers but one big one is that several experienced professional pilots have said, in essence, that they weren't sure they could have performed some of those flying feats, at those speeds, that the pilots supposedly did...pilots who while training, weren't world beaters in little Cessnas....the pros said no way no how.

I spent a good part of a day at the independant 9/11 Research Site, they guy wh put it together did a lot of work to put together the linked timeline he has on there, so much info and links to the actual buried news stories on most issues....like the strange fact that the day before Rummy held a presser saying the Pentagon was missing over 2.3 million in cash...guess that got blown off the news cycle pretty fast.

[blackspade]

32. K&R!

nice reality check

[Octafish]

33. The Little Turd from Crawford, Smirkelgrüber Jr was DERELICT OF DUTY...

...at the very least. A traitor, most likely.



The crazy monkey IGNORED a briefing from the CIA.

[trusty elf]

34. He's thinking, "I'd much rather be out clearin' brush

than havin' to look at all of this boring paperwork."

[Botany]

42. But the story couldn't have happened w/out a media ....

.... helping in the rewrite of history.

Condi, W, Cheney, and so on all have blood on their hands.

[democrank]

35. Bush shouldn`t even be allowed to touch that wreath.

He`s a war criminal that should be behind bars along with his other father, Dick.

[WinkyDink]

37. Psycho murderers enjoy the memories.

[raouldukelives]

40. K&R

[bertman]

41. This is just another 'made-for-Teevee" movie script where the bad guys get away

with all the money and laugh as they sail away on their multi-million dollar yachts.

Anyone who really gives a shit has known this all along. The rest of the sheeple are now weeping and gnashing their teeth about the tragedy of the 9-11 terrorist attacks by "al Qaeda", while the perps are laying wreaths and retiring in luxury without a fear of ever being prosecuted--or even a REAL investigation being conducted.

Thank you, President Obama, for "looking forward, not backward."

Despite my sarcasm, I thank you, kpete, for posting this.

[judy]

43. And let's not forget PNAC

And the "New Pearl Harbor" that was needed in order to establish the New American Century.
Even if they didn't cause it in any way (which remains under a cloud of doubt to this day), they must have welcomed it like Christmas.
And it worked so well...

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

45. America, I cried and mourned with you after 9/11

and then watched in horror, as your beady eyes darted around, looking for something to attack.
