9/11: Asleep at the switch, ignoring warnings (because they came from the "other" party), this administration and party failed to secure the U.S. from a terrorist attack.There were also warnings coming in from intelligence agencies all over the world which were ignored.
Put on your thinking caps people (tin foil type not required). Warnings had been flooding in for months about an upcoming big league terrorist attack in the US. These warnings had come from intelligence agencies all around the world. We know that when the Shrub went to a previous G8 summit in Italy one of the concerns was that terrorists might crash a plane into the conference center in an attack on the G8 leaders. Consequently special anti-aircraft defenses were installed for the duration of the conference to protect the location and the Shrub spent nights off-shore on a US aircraft carrier as a precaution against this type of attack.
G8 summit may have been Bin Laden targetTwo months before the attacks on New York and Washington, Osama bin Laden may have been contemplating an aerial attack against world leaders assembled in Genoa for a G8 summit.
Rumours that the terrorist suspect planned to pack an aircraft with explosives and launch it at the Ducal palace containing George Bush have been given weight by the president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak.
He said Islamist suicide pilots were originally intended to launch an attack on the Italian riviera.
"On June 13 of this year, we learned of a communique from Bin Laden saying he wanted to assassinate Mr Bush and other G8 heads of state during their summit in Italy. It was a well-known piece of in formation," said President Mubarak.
On a state visit to Paris, the president told French media that Egypt's intelligence services had intercepted plans for "an aeroplane stuffed with explosives" to plunge into Genoa. A warning was passed to the US, he said.
When they installed a missile defence system at Genoa's airport in July and enforced a no-fly zone, the Italian authorities were derided, but now they feel vindicated.

Yet the airspace over Washington DC is left without air cover for something like an 1hr 15min after the first reports of hijacking that morning, allowing one of the hijacked aircraft to hit the Pentagon over an hour after the first reported hijackings. Remember that hijacked aircraft could just as easily have been targeting the Capitol or the White House. Washington, the nation's capital, was essentially left open to attack.
And no one gets fired, no one gets disciplined. Where does "incompetence" end and treason begin?
Hermann Goering:"....voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack ofpatriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."Columnist Sydney Schanberg: "We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth."Wake up America. You were set up.
