Shrub Was Determined To Allow bin Laden To Strike Twin Towers & Pentagon

Today is another anniversary of the day thousands of Americans died due to the W admin ignoring the warnings.

The Bush White House ignored even more warnings about September 11 than we thought, according to journalist Kurt Eichenwald, who has a column in the NYT and a new book out today. We already knew about the presidential brief from 8/6/2001 that was titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US"...

...there were other briefings, some seen by Eichenwald, that [also warned] of an imminent attack. On 5/1 the CIA said that a terrorist group in the U.S. was planning an attack. On 6/22 it warned that this attack was "imminent". On 6/29 the brief warned of near-term attacks with "dramatic consequences" including major casualties. On 7/1, the briefing said that the terrorist attack had been delayed but "will occur soon". On 7/24, the president was told again that the attack had been delayed but would occur within months.

These and other similar warnings were ignored by the White House. (Bush Received More Warnings About 9/11 Than We Realized. Business Insider 9/11/2012).

I think the evidence shows that W was determined to allow bin Laden to attack us, as it provided him an excellent excuse to go to war. Time to send this war criminal to the Hague? Yeah, I think it's about time. Past time, actually. Past time that this mass murdering bastard be put behind bars where he belongs.
