4th Anniversary of Aug. 6, 2001 PDB "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US"

[Bill Bored]

No, this document is not about a labor dispute (STRIKE in US -- get it?). I sometimes wonder if Shrub thought it was though.

Four years ago today, 9 months after stealing the 2000 election, Shrub got this Presidential Daily Brief in Crawford, TX about what would occur on 9/11.

Four years later, how many Americans have actually read it?

And how many of those who have read it, have actually seen the PDF (hard copy) version?

<http://www.cnn.com/2004/images/04/10/whitehouse.pdf>

You know, the one that says it's "For the President Only" at the bottom of every page.

It was declassified on 10 April 2004, almost seven months before the '04 election, but how many people do you think went into a voting booth on Nov. 2, never having seen this crucial document?

<http://www.cnn.com/2004/images/04/10/whitehouse.pdf>

It's the one where on the the top of Page 2, it mentions preparations for hijackings and buildings in NYC. Following in the footsteps of the first WTC bombing and hijacking of aircraft were both on Page 1.

Pretty good huh?

This is the brief which, if not for the fact that John Kerry and the hapless Democrats had to be such gentlemen in the campaign of 2004, might have helped Kerry win the election that year. But instead, Kerry just politely pointed out that Iraq hadn't attacked us on 9/11, and Shrub said he knew that, and the rest is history!

The Aug 6 PDB was only mentioned by President-Elect Al Gore during the 2004 campaign. He said that if he had gotten a briefing like that, he would have dropped everything, or something to that effect. Too bad he didn't actually get to be President.

Shrub admitted to the 9/11 Commission that he didn't do anything after he got the brief. I wonder how those Supreme Ct. guys feel about that, but maybe they never read the Aug 6 PDB either.

<http://www.cnn.com/2004/images/04/10/whitehouse.pdf>

Meanwhile, Shrub and his proxies got to call John Kerry all kinds of names, handing out bogus purple hearts on the floor of the Republican Convention just a few blocks North of Ground Zero where Shrub had stood with that bullhorn after all those people died.

Well, I guess it really was hard work running a campaign.

But on this August 6 (2005), in addition to everything else that's going on, the Atlanta Voting Rights March, the anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and whatever else is in the news, take a few minutes to read the Aug. 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Brief, hard copy version, just the way it was presented to Shrub, for his eyes only, in Crawford, TX four years ago (with portions redacted of course), and think about how you would have run the '04 campaign if you had this as one of your issues i.e., National Security. That was supposed to have been Shrub's strong suit, wasn't it?

<http://www.cnn.com/2004/images/04/10/whitehouse.pdf>

And pass it on, will you please? I still don't think many Americans have actually seen it, and after all, it is an historical document.

1. Gee, wonder if Shrub got any PDB's today?

Wonder if they even thought about that in Crawford????

[DemInDistress]

2. this listed document is missing key sentences

which I seen on TV as that PDB was widely distributed back in 2004.Its missing,"osama determined to strike inside the USA,weeks many many dead,very very big uproar,possibly using hijacked commercial jets as missiles to be crashed into skyscrapers in NYC,Washington and Chicago....How come we Americans don't see the full report,I also suggest the Whitehouse turn those documents over to the "911 Memorial" for all the world to see and forever be connected to the Sept.11 2001 attacks....This Bush Crime Family really sucks,I hate them

[uppityperson]

3. It mentions hijacking airlines, and explosives, but nothing about the WTC

nothing about flying them into skyscapers, pentagon, etc. I mean, really, how could you expect Mr.bush to take this seriously when he had brush to cut? :sarcasm:

[Bill Bored]

5. Actually all the key words are there. WTC mentioned on page 1.

But I know you're being sarcastic.

[uppityperson]

8. I missed that. Thanks for the link, by the way.

[DemInDistress]

11. uppity

When the Whitehouse released those 2 pages soon after condi rice testified,several media orgs. had videotaped and broadcasted those 2 pages.When I say I saw weeks,many many dead,very very big uproar.Possibly using hijacked commercial jets as suicide missiles and crash them into skyscrapers in NYC,Washington and Chicago..as for the link,forget it MSM will never allow them to be shown again..Its clear and convincing evidence The Bush Crime Family knew a hit was soon to take place...I ask "why wont bush allow all America to view those documents" and any additional PDB's from 8/6/01/----9/10/01' There certainly must be further warnings in those PDB's

[Bill Bored]

12. Haven't seen it.

But there were even earlier documents and meetings where this sort of thing was discussed. Read Richard Clarke's book, Hart-Rudman report, etc.

As for what we are allowed to see, I think this PDB should have been enough to get him removed from office if the Democrats weren't so afraid to use it. Instead we heard how Iraq didn't attack us and how Kerry was a phony war hero and how 9/11 was Clinton's fault.

That campaign should have been about Bush's apparent incompetence prior to 9/11 -- and Health Care!

[Bill Bored]

7. I was actually thinking of handing out flyers there!

One thing you see at that place is a lot of servicemen and women. Might have been Fleet Week, but I suspect it's quite common at other times.
I hope they at least know what Bush knew on Aug 6 before they have to lay down their lives for the moron.

[Bill Bored]

9. Links? I haven't seen anything that's not in this PDF version.

In fact I've seen less. The newspaper versions don't say For Shrub Only on them, which shows where the buck should have stopped.

[EVDebs]

4. And to think that all that was necessary to prevent tradgedy

even if Bush wasn't prepared to DO anythink himself was to notify the airlines themselves and tell them to 'harden the cockpits'. Bush, if he wanted to, could have beefed up the FAA Air Marshall's program even.

Plus this buzzflash article I kept at:

"Documentation of Plans to Crash Airplanes Into Buildings that Bush and Condi Claim They Knew Nothing About: They Lie, Assassinate People's Characters Instead of Refuting Their Evidence -- and They are, Most Dangerous to the Nation, Incompetent"

http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/04/03/edi04021.html

has some important links to read like the CBS News one at
"Report Warned Of Suicide Hijackings"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/18/attack/main509488.shtml

6. CBS also has the PDF version online somewhere. nt

[Bill Bored]

10. Well, since the WTC was mentioned, all they had to do was

protect a known target.

And you'd think the Pentagon of all places would have had some protection as well, right?

[EVDebs]

13. David Ray Griffin's C-Span talk mentioned this also.

Looks like a 'New Pearl Harbor' was really just an old Operation Northwood. BTW, where did they come up with that codename ?

[EVDebs]

14. Today's paper 8-7 mentions 9-11 Commission being stonewalled

"9-11 Commission: White House withholding information" by Philip Shenon, NYTimes. In my paper this didn't 'rate' front page, it was buried back on page A7 of the front section, and it must be stated that my paper is the (Santa Rosa, CA) Press Democrat, an NYTimes subsidiary no less.

The WH, Pentagon, State Dept., CIA, and FBI and several other agencies 'had failed to repond to requests made two months ago for updated information on the government's anti-terrorism programs...the Dept of Homeland Security said it intended to provide a package of information'.
