Does some blame attach to Bush for what happened on 9/11?
All we hear from the Bush administration is that they couldn't anticipate that planes might be used as guided missiles to attack ground targets. This is a bold lie to make in face of the facts.
The French foiled an attempt to hijack a plane and fly it into the Eiffel Tower in the late 1990's and the U.S. was informed. At the G-8 summit before 9/11 the U.S. had fighter planes flying the skies above Italy because they had received intelligence that terrorists might hijack a plane and fly it into the meeting. The CIA anticipated and warned the Bush administration that planes might be targeted for hijacking months before 9/11.
What did the White House do? Nothing. No increased passenger screening. No air marshalls placed on passenger planes. No heightened efforts to be ready to scramble fighter planes.
Nine months in office. Nothing. Fuck Bush and his "there was nothing we could have done."
