THE REAL REASON TENET QUIT (PART 1)
"Had I known that the enemy was going to use airplanes to strike America, to attack us, I would have used every resource, every asset, every power of the government, to protect the American people"
~George W. Bush (3-26-2004)
***********************************************
(CLINTON TRIED TO KILL BIN LADEN) Late 1998-January 2001:
President Clinton signs a directive authorizing the CIA to plan an assassination of bin Laden. The CIA draw up detailed profiles of bin Laden's daily routines, where he sleeps, and his travel arrangements. The assassination never happens, supposedly because of inadequate intelligence. The US permanently stations two submarines in the Indian Ocean, ready to hit al-Qaeda with cruise missiles on short notice. Six to ten hours advance warning is now needed to review the decision, program the cruise missiles and have them reach their target. On at least three occasions, spies in Afghanistan report bin Laden's location with information suggesting he would remain there for some time. Each time, Clinton approves the strike. Each time, CIA Director George Tenet says the information is not reliable enough and the attack cannot go forward. [Washington Post, 12/19/01, New York Times, 12/30/01]
The submarines are removed shortly after President Bush takes office.

(BUSH PROTECTS BIN LADEN AGAIN) Late January 2001:
The BBC later reports, "After the elections, [US intelligence] agencies are told to 'back off' investigating the Bin Ladens and Saudi royals, and that angers agents." [BBC, 11/6/01]

(BUSH IGNORED ANTI-TERROR ADVICE) January 31, 2001:
The final report of the US Commission on National Security/21st Century, co-chaired by former Senators Gary Hart (D), and Warren Rudman (R) is issued (see also September 15, 1999). The bipartisan report was put together in 1998 by then-President Bill Clinton and then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The report has 50 recommendations on how to combat terrorism in the US, but ALL of them are ignored by the Bush Administration. [Salon, 9/12/01]

(BUSH & HIS MOTIVES FOR WAR) April 2001 (D):
A report commissioned by former US Secretary of State James Baker and the Council on Foreign Relations entitled "Strategic Energy Policy Challenges For The 21st Century" is submitted to Vice President Cheney this month. It argues that "the United States remains a prisoner of its energy dilemma," and that one of the "consequences" of this is a "need for military intervention" to secure its oil supply. It argues that Iraq needs to be overthrown so the US can control its oil. In what may be a reference to a pipeline through Afghanistan, the report suggests the US should "Investigate whether any changes to US policy would quickly facilitate higher exports of oil from the Caspian Basin region..." [Sunday Herald, 10/5/02, Sydney Morning Herald, 12/26/02]

(BUSH INVITES THE HIJACKERS RIGHT IN!) May 2001:
The US introduces the "Visa Express" program in Saudi Arabia, which allows any Saudi Arabian to obtain visas through his or her travel agent instead of appearing at a consulate in person. An official later states, "The issuing officer has no idea whether the person applying for the visa is actually the person in the documents and application." [US News and World Report, 12/12/01, Congressional Intelligence Committee, 9/20/02] At the time, warnings of an attack against the US led by the Saudi Osama bin Laden are higher than they had ever been before - "off the charts" as one senator later puts it. [Los Angeles Times, 5/18/02, Senate Intelligence Committee, 9/18/02] A terrorism conference had recently concluded that Saudi Arabia was one of four top nationalities in al-Qaeda. [Minneapolis Star Tribune, 5/19/02] Five hijackers - Khalid Almihdhar, Abdulaziz Alomari, Salem Alhazmi, Saeed Alghamdi, and Fayez Ahmed Banihammad - use Visa Express over the next month to enter the US. [Congressional Intelligence Committee, 9/20/02] The widely criticized program is finally canceled in July 2002 (see July 19, 2002).
NOTE: 15 OF THE 19 9/11 HIJACKERS CAME FROM SAUDI ARABIA.

(1 WARNING) June 2001:
German intelligence warns the CIA, Britain's MI6, and Israel's Mossad that Middle Eastern terrorists are planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack "American and Israeli symbols, which stand out." [Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 9/11/01, Washington Post, 9/14/01, Fox News, 5/17/02]
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/main/AAcoverup.html
(2 WARNINGS) August 2001:
Russian President Putin warns the US that suicide pilots are training for attacks on US targets. [Fox News, 5/17/02] The head of Russian intelligence also later states, "We had clearly warned them" on several occasions, but they "did not pay the necessary attention." [Agence France-Presse, 9/16/01] A Russian newspaper on September 12, 2001 claims that "Russian Intelligence agents know the organizers and executors of these terrorist attacks. More than that, Moscow warned Washington about preparation to these actions a couple of weeks before they happened."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,53065,00.html
(3 WARNINGS) August 2001:
Britain gives the US another warning about an al-Qaeda attack. The previous British warning (see July 16, 2001) was vague as to method, but this warning specifies multiple airplane hijackings. This warning is included in Bush's briefing on August 6. [Sunday Herald, 5/19/02]
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/main/AAcoverup.html
(4 WARNINGS) August 6, 2001:
President Bush spends most of August 2001 at his Crawford, Texas, ranch, nearly setting a record for the longest presidential vacation. While it is billed a "working vacation," ABC reports Bush is doing "nothing much" aside from his regular daily intelligence briefings. [ABC, 8/3/01, Washington Post, 8/7/01, Salon, 8/29/01] One such unusually long briefing at the start of his trip is a warning that bin Laden is planning to attack in the US. Incredibly, the New York Times later reports that Bush "broke off from work early and spent most of the day FISHING" (see also August 4-30, 2001). [New York Times, 5/25/02] By the end of his trip, Bush has spent 42 percent of his presidency at vacation spots or en route. [Washington Post, 8/7/01] At the time, a poll shows that 55 percent of Americans say Bush is taking too much time off. [USA Today, 8/7/01]
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/main/AAcoverup.html
(DESPITE WARNINGS, THE MILITARY STOOD DOWN) September 11, 2001:
The 9/11 attack: four planes are hijacked, two crash into the WTC, one into the Pentagon, and one crashes into the Pennsylvania countryside. At least 3,000 people are killed. A more detailed timeline focusing on the hours of this attack appears on a separate page. According to officials, the entire US is defended by only 14 fighters (two planes each in seven military bases). [Dallas Morning News, 9/16/01] And "they no longer included any bases close to two obvious terrorist targets - Washington, DC, and New York City."
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/main/AAcoverup.html
(HERE'S THE LIE) September 16, 2001 (B):
President Bush says, "Never in anybody’s thought processes ... about how to protect America did we ever think that the evil doers would fly not one but four commercial aircraft into precious US targets... never." [NATO, 9/16/01] A month later, Paul Pillar, the former deputy director of the CIA's counter-terrorist center, says, "The idea of commandeering an aircraft and crashing it into the ground and causing high casualties, sure we've thought of it." [Los Angeles Times, 10/14/01]
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/main/AAcoverup.html
(HERE'S THE COVER-UP) May 23, 2002:
President Bush says he is opposed to establishing a special, independent commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before 9/11. [CBS, 5/23/02] He later changes his stance in the face of overwhelming support for the idea (see September 20, 2002), and then sabotages an agreement that Congress had reached to establish the commission (see October 10, 2002).

BUT BILL CLINTON GETS IMPEACHED FOR LYING ABOUT GETTING HIS D**K LICKED?

"This was not something that had to happen. There are people that, if I was doing the job, would certainly not be in the position they were in at that time because they failed... They simply failed."
~Thomas Kean, former Republican governor of New Jersey and chairman of the 9/11 commission. He was appointed to head the commission by George W. Bush himself.
