before we were attacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: to add. With the cell phones and the memos what the Hell more did they need to stop the attack?

In my opinion he just admitted how much more incompetent he and his friends are.

1. It sounded like that to me. And then OBL went and changed his phone
number, and so because of that, we were attacked. MKJ

3. yes I brought that point up in
general discussion as well. This is an admission of monumental incompetence. Someone should also have asked him who in particular did he speak with in congress about this program of spying on Americans.

5. Do you have a link? Source? That's really something . . .
if this turns out to be true. Why monitor OBL BEFORE the attacks without a warrant unless they wanted no one to know what information was gleaned.

6. It should be in the transcript. Dear God I can't remember if it was
from last night's speech or this morning's press conference. I think the press conference.

So many impeachable offensives, so little time.

7. It's backwards logic.
It's because they were monitoring OBL's cell phone that 911 happened.

I have no doubt they knew about this event well in advance, and let it happen, Hell, we all do!

Memos, German warnings, Able Danger, British Warnings, Organized Saudi Evacuation post 911, Russian Warnings, CIA Warnings, FBI department heads shuffling...

I don't know if Bush knew, but I have no doubt Cheney did.

9. Of course he knew
something was up, otherwise why did he sit in the classroom trying to look inconspicuous for half an hour after the planes hit?
