Bush (with inkling) would have "moved heaven and Earth to protect America"
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1802&ncid=1802&e=2&u=/washpost/20040722/ts_washpost/a4129_2004jul21



President Bush (news - web sites) and lawmakers from both parties were briefed on the findings yesterday by the commission's chairman, Thomas H. Kean (R), and vice chairman, Lee H. Hamilton (D). Before his meeting, Bush told reporters that the government was doing everything it could to protect the country from terrorists and defended his administration's handling of the al Qaeda threat before Sept. 11.

"Had we had any inkling, whatsoever, that terrorists were about to attack our country, we would have moved heaven and Earth to protect America," Bush said. "And I'm confident President Clinton (news - web sites) would have done the same thing. Any president would have."

11. LOL
Exactly. And he saw the August 6 memo during his month long vacation. He continued with the vacation and did nothing. It would be nice if we had a free press in this country. Then they would call him on asinine statements like this. But since we don't, he will continue making them. :puke:

7. Utterly incoherent prattling and non-sensible off-the-wall babble
considering all the events surrounding 9-11 holistically.

4. They didn't have an "inkling" they knew pretty much the whole thing
How many foreign intelligence agencies warned the Bushevik that Amerika was going to be attacked.

Liek Hitler, I am convinced the Bunnypants* Gang got EXACTLY what they wanted.

Is there ANYONE on the whole entire Earth who benefitted from 9-11 more than the Busheviks?

6. The schmuck...
did have an inkling. He had many inklings but that lump of roadkill decided to ignore his advisers, his military, his intelligence agencies.

He sys he would have moved heaven and earth to prevent an attack. I dont know about heaven, but earth? Thats a possiblility. After leaving opffice, the only job he would be eligible for is bulldozer driver. He can then move all the earth he wants from here to -------------------------------------------> over there!

:kick:

9. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda..... it don fly Shrub...its excuses.....
If you came away from that Aug 2001 meeting without an inkling...

YOU ARE HOPELESS

DID you need the flight numbers?

The Names?

And what of your STAFF?? They too were without an "Inkling?" No one came forward to say..."Mr Prezident...I have an Inkling"????

Just What does it take to create this "Inkling?" for the Bushies anyways? Mr Murphy was right, when we got Bush, Bad Shit was gonna happen.... he was right.

12. You didn't have to move Heaven and Earth, George...
Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 12:01 PM by JHB
...you just had to "shake the trees". Clinton DID do it, and it worked.

But since none of your cocksure "adults in charge" thought it was their job, they didn't bother spelling it out for you.

You didn't have to move Heavan and Earth... you just had to "delegate".

Incompetent, miserable failiure.
