Does this mean you're not gonna answer...?You clearly don't know ... Clinton raised airport security in 1999, after receiving that warning. You know, the similar warning you point out was 90% the same as Bush's warning; only Bush did absolutely nothing in response to.Could have increased airport security. It worked for Clinton.Again, there was enough information for Clinton to raise airport security at some airports and potentially thwart the attack. Why didn't Bush do that?
And here's what you call, "years old" information ....
Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
The Bush fluffing continues.![]()
including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
I said 90% was old, or did you miss that?
as to the recent surveillance of federal buildings in NY?
Could have put up barriers and strip searched everyone entering and leaving those federal buildings.
wouldn't have prevented ONE plane from flying into the twin towers, would it?
and the only time I can find Bill increasing airport security was in 1996.
about a year after Operation Bojinka, and before the rumor of hijacking planes to trade for the blind sheik.
Keep playing, tho.
Maybe you'll get a consolation prize.
He increased airport security in 1996, 2 years before his PDB.
Clinton responds to the warning.
Result? No attack. No planes hijacked. Nobody killed. No buildings blown up.
Bush receives a similar PDB and fails to respond at all.
Result? Massive attack. Four planes hijacked in a single morning. Almost 3,000 people killed. The Pentagon bombed and the World Trade Center obliterated.
Clinton raised airport security in 1999,
and yet, within 2 years security was gone?
Bush receives a similar PDB and fails to respond at all.
Bush received a history lesson, of a previous PDB, with little if any information in it to prevent the later attack.
there were dozens of other warnings, none of which had enough information to prevent 9-11.
But I really love the parrots on the left claiming it would have.
Have a nice day.
This got boring 2 hours ago.
(Did I say 2 hours? I meant 10 years ago)
You pointed out both presidents received similar PDB's. I pointed out that Clinton responded by increasing airport security while Bush ignored the warnings. The result of Clinton's response was that there was no attack on his watch. On the flip side, we all saw what happened after Bush ignored the warnings.
The question is ... why didn't Bush at least increase airport security? It worked for Clinton, it may have worked for Bush.
