I did not want this thread to be about the culpability of the Bush administration...ONLY that the investigation of the 9-11 commission was done much quicker than the Benghazi...ON-GOING.....investigation that will drag until election day of next year......for OBVIOUS reasons.
Nonetheless, here's a recap of the 9-11 briefings.
The August 6th PDB should have been read in conjunction with the daily briefs preceding it, the ones the Bush administration would not release. The administration’s reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed. In other words, the Aug. 6 document, for all of the controversy it provoked, is not nearly as shocking as the briefs that came before it.
The direct warnings to Mr. Bush about the possibility of a Qaeda attack began in the spring of 2001. By May 1, the Central Intelligence Agency told the White House of a report that “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. Weeks later, on June 22, the daily brief reported that Qaeda strikes could be “imminent,” although intelligence suggested the time frame was flexible.

YOu asked a question and I answered.
Indeed, your "answers" showed much research and objectivity, correct?
There's really no point. The right either forgave W for 9/11 or shifted the blame to Democrats on 9/12. That cat's out of the bag. They will never admit any Republican culpability for anything.I did not want this thread to be about the culpability of the Bush administration...ONLY that the investigation of the 9-11 commission was done much quicker than the Benghazi...ON-GOING.....investigation that will drag until election day of next year......for OBVIOUS reasons.

I dont get that from what he posted.George Bush was in office barely 8 months when America was attacked on 9/11/2001. Bill Clinton was using American planes to attack civilians in a defenseless European country while the same terrorists that he dismissed in the first attack on the World Trade center were attending flight school under his freaking nose. Clinton's idiot Attorney General even issued an order that prevented the FBI from sharing information with the CIA under threat of arrest and imprisonment. If President Bush made any errors it was not firing every dumb assed political appointee in the Clinton administration but he thought he would be a nice guy and keep the idiots on.
So, your conclusion is that 9-11 was all Clinton's fault.......Interesting.
Both Clinton and Bush ignored the facts that they had to indicate an attack would happen.
Clinton however should have been at least curious why muslims were learning to fly but not interested in how to land.
What did I just read?Well it was Bush who was told about Flight Schools:I dont get that from what he posted.George Bush was in office barely 8 months when America was attacked on 9/11/2001.

FBI Was Warned About Flight Schools
Bush was also specifically warned about Bin Laden, he was placed at number one by Clinton.
Bush dropped the ball while on vacation in Texas...
Any loss of American lives is a tragedy......
That stated, it should raise some skepticism in any objective mind as the WHY it has taken the Benghazi select committee, about 2 additional months (and they're still going strong in their so-called investigation) to find out more about the loss of 4 American live.......than it took the 9-11 commission to investigate the loss of almost 3,000 American lives......???
Jeb Bush has just struggled with this obvious hypocrisy.
Jeb Bush Falls Apart When Asked Why He Blames Obama For Benghazi But Not W for 9/11
Hey, shit happens, right?There's really no point. The right either forgave W for 9/11....
What's to forgive?

Sorry... don't see an actual answer to my question.Hey, shit happens, right?There's really no point. The right either forgave W for 9/11....

answered based on the assumption that you did not already know the answers.
So you actually believe that the President personally runs national intelligence?
NO. NO.....the president personally runs national intelligence ONLY if the president is a democrat...otherwise. of course not.......LOL
Bush left Clinton's intelligence people in place because he knew 9/11 was inevitable and wanted to make sure Dems had some skin in the game
Ignoring the warnings. That's what's to forgive.Sorry... don't see an actual answer to my question.Hey, shit happens, right?There's really no point. The right either forgave W for 9/11....
What's to forgive?
Please do try again.
Ah.Ignoring the warnings. That's what's to forgive.Sorry... don't see an actual answer to my question.Hey, shit happens, right?There's really no point. The right either forgave W for 9/11....

Yes, and after a careful review of your "brilliant" answers, indeed they were written on the tablets from Mt. Sinai....Ergo, how could ANYONE possible dispute those "answers"?
(right wingers be dumber than they were yesterday....and that is not an easy task.)
Related questions for right wingers.....
1. Are you all satisfied regarding how the Benghazi committee is operating?
2. Do you think they're taking too long?
3. Is the amount of money spent on the investigation just right?
4. Finally, do you think that there is NO political partisanship in the investigation?
