Is the Saudi angle on the 28 pages a misdirection to give Bush cover?

The involvement of Saudi nationals in 9-11 is a well known old story. So is Saudi funding of its extremists and of the network of hate-cultivating Madrassas throughout the Muslim world.

However, the real and powerful story that was to have been contained in the report with the missing 28 pages is the one that nails Bush to the wall. It is the fact that he was given a full briefing on Aug 6, along with Condi, on the prospect of Islamic extremists using hijacked planes to strike targets in the USA.

His heinous promptly went on vacation. There was no follow up, and the rest is history.

We've never known the details of that briefing. This report should have shed light on it and focussed attention on it. But those details are missing. My guess is they're in those 28 pages.

Yet all the controversy surrounding the missing pages has been directed into the innocuous question of whether the admin is covering for the Saudis.

Where are the questions about the missing briefing info?

I think we've allowed ourselves to be snookered.

They are also hiding the information about the briefing in early August, when W was told the details of a possible al Qaeda attack. The Saudis did all they could to help their boy W out of a jam and in the meantime they earned the right to feign their innocence.

But then again. Did you see the latest "press conference"? This is a country being publically humiliated on a daily basis.

I think that is the problem with the WH Press Corp. They have all the classic symptoms.

The Bush Administration was caught totally flat-footed more by the ingenuity of the September 11th attack than the money behind it. Yes, they knew something was coming, but they didn't think it would be as daring and successful as it was.

The big question following September 11th was Who the fuck did this? For want of a better suspect, they named bin Laden right away, but it's possible that they still don't know who did it.

... and it adds a layer of truth that needs to be analyzed, buying time to bury the real story deeper. That is, Bush knew about 9-11 way before it happened and he did nothing to stop it.

For proof, consider all those FBI field offices reporting the same thing (all those suspected terrorists at flights schools from Arizona to Minnesota to Florida interested in turning jumbo jets left and right but not in taking off or landing them) and nobody in Washington doing anything about it. Rowley asked if there was a terrorist mole at HQ.

Zaccarias Moussaoui represents the key to the whole shebang. The flight instructors in Minneapolis said they suspected he was a terrorist and contacted the FAA. The FAA told them to contact the FBI in Minneapolis or St. Paul. They said "Don't worry about him." The flight instructors didn't drop the matter, they took it to their Congressman. So he complained personally to Washington HQ and ONLY THEN DID THEY MOVE TO BUST MOUSSAOUI.

BTW: One of the flight instructors who reported suspicions about the alleged "The 20th Hijacker" was the co-pilot on the doomed plane carrying Paul Wellstone a year or so later. He could have been a witness in Moussaoui's trial because Moussaoui copied the pilot's CD-ROM detailing jumbo jets. It was found in the laptop FBI HQ didn't want to search.

as soon as I heard it, I knew there was ZERO sincerity in the remarks. Neither Bush or the Saudis want that report opened up.
