1. Yes but no time or place

It doesn't say "next Tuesday, 3:00 PM, at the WTC" so how could the US government have any idea what to do?? :shrug:

5. And even if it did, this administration would say,

"Well, yeah, but these attacks came in the morning, and we were looking for an afternoon thing, and there's no flight numbers, so it's obviously not actionable."

7. Maybe The AWOL/Moron Administration needed this.....

But I doubt the little AWOL/Moron even read the August 6th PDB...

2. Yes but,

neither the shrub, condi, or Tenet received the invite...therefore were unable to RSVP...

(sarcasm turned on high)

3. I heard this for the first time late last night when I was

watching Larry King Live and this totally made me so angry. When was this report released to the public for the first time? I haven't really been following too much of the 9/11 comission hearings, I know it was brought up when Condesleeza was testifying.

This is my new big ammunition for all my REPUKE 'friends' out there. After this, how can they honestly say they still support the Shrub Administration?

6. Re-pukes will still support Sh*t Head

because they delusionally believe this administrations actions are serving a higher calling. To these wackos, everything their party does is justified, at our expense of course.

4. Sample reports? Were those all PDBs?

Or were they simply read by everyone ELSE in government?

8. Woooooooooooooooo!

The Rapture is coming. Must convert nonchristian devils must prepare. Forget about the environment. Forget about justice and equality. Forget about any future on this Earth, for the chosen ones will be with God.

Sarcasm Off.
