June 3, 1997

American foreign and defense policy is adrift. Conservatives have
criticized the incoherent policies of the Clinton Administration. They
have also resisted isolationist impulses from within their own ranks.
But conservatives have not confidently advanced a strategic vision of
America's role in the world. They have not set forth guiding principles
for American foreign policy. They have allowed differences over tactics
to obscure potential agreement on strategic objectives. And they have
not fought for a defense budget that would maintain American security
and advance American interests in the new century.

We aim to change this. We aim to make the case and rally support for
American global leadership.

As the 20th century draws to a close, the United States stands as the
world's preeminent power. Having led the West to victory in the Cold
War, America faces an opportunity and a challenge: Does the United
States have the vision to build upon the achievements of past decades?
Does the United States have the resolve to shape a new century favorable
to American principles and interests?

We are in danger of squandering the opportunity and failing the
challenge. We are living off the capital -- both the military
investments and the foreign policy achievements -- built up by past
administrations. Cuts in foreign affairs and defense spending,
inattention to the tools of statecraft, and inconstant leadership are
making it increasingly difficult to sustain American influence around
the world. And the promise of short-term commercial benefits threatens
to override strategic considerations. As a consequence, we are
jeopardizing the nation's ability to meet present threats and to deal
with potentially greater challenges that lie ahead.

We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan
Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet
both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and
purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national
leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities.

Of course, the United States must be prudent in how it exercises its
power. But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global
leadership or the costs that are associated with its exercise. America
has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and
the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges
to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should
have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises
emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this
century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American
leadership.

Our aim is to remind Americans of these lessons and to draw their
consequences for today. Here are four consequences:

• we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry
out our global responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for
the future;

• we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge
regimes hostile to our interests and values;

• we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad;

• we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in
preserving and extending an international order friendly to our
security, our prosperity, and our principles.

Such a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity may not
be fashionable today. But it is necessary if the United States is to
build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our security
and our greatness in the next.

Of course. Bush didn't give a damn.

The following are all uncontroversial facts reported in the mainstream media:

On or about Jan. 20th, 2001, as the Clinton administration transitioned
to the Bush, NSC chief Sandy Berger briefed Condi Rice extensively on the
terrorism threat posed by bin Laden, telling her she would be spending
more time on this threat than she ever imagined. At the Dept. of Defense,
William Cohen was performing the same courtesy for Don Rumsfeld, again
with a sharp reminder of the terrorist threat in the form of a hand-written
letter to Rumsfeld containing the phone numbers of people in the Pentagon
Rumsfeld needed to speak to directly on the subject. On Jan. 26th, the CIA
confirmed to the new Bush administration that bin Laden and Al Qaeda were
responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Cole which killed 17 American
sailors.

The response of the Bush administration was to cease Predator drone
surveillance flights to track bin Laden, reassign the cruise-missile
equipped submarine stationed in the Indian Ocean with the specific mission
of targeting bin Laden, reassign the AC-130 gunships on scramble alert that
could be on top of bin Laden after a six hour flight, suspend the special
forces operations targeting bin Laden already based in Uzbekistan for the
purpose thanks to a treaty signed by Bill Clinton.

In May, June and July, the sole remaining Clinton appointee, CIA Director
Tenet, was frantic with concern over incoming intelligence indicating a huge
terrorist attack on American soil. Vice-President ***** Cheney was head
of a
new counter-terrorism task force, yet held no meetings. Attorney General
John Ashcroft refused FBI requests for hundreds of new agents to be assigned
to counter-terrorism; his concerns were drugs and pornography, yet in late
July he stopped flying commercial airliners due to a "threat assessment."
The general threat assessment was considered to be the most severe in decades
according to CIA's Tenet; members of the Senate Intelligence Committee were
briefed on the situation on July 5th.

Also in July, an Arizona FBI agent wrote the 'Phoenix Memo,' expressing
concern about possible Al Qaeda members taking flying lessons in this
country towards the end of terrorist attacks. One of the two FBI officials
to see it before the attacks was New York counter-terrorism chief John
O'Neill; contemporaneous with the timing of this memo was O'Neill's remarks
to the authors of 'Bin Laden: The Hidden Truth,' wherein O'Neill expressed
his outrage with the Bush administration's thwarting of counter-terrorist
efforts in the interests of protecting its Saudi sponsors. John O'Neill
would soon quit the FBI in disgust, only to die at his new job as chief of
security at the WTC.

Also in July, the FAA rescinded the rule allowing airline pilots to be armed,
a rule that had been in force since 1961.

August found George W. Bush 'vacationing' for the entire month in rural
Texas, while ***** Cheney similarly spent the month in rural Wyoming. On
August 1st actor James Woods as flying from Logan to Los Angeles, sharing
1st class with four Middle Eastern men, who ate nothing, drank nothing,
read nothing, nor slept the entire flight, only making occasional low
comments to one another. Woods remarked to the flight attendant that 'These
guys act like they're going to hijack the plane,' and once the plane landed
he repeated his concerns to the FAA. All four men were hijackers on Sept.
11th. On Aug. 6th, Bush himself was apparently finally briefed about the
specific threat of attacks on American soil. His vacation continued. On Aug.
17th, the Minneapolis FBI office arrested Zacarias Moussaoui, on the basis
of an expired student visa and very curious pilot training requests. FBI
field agents at this office were convinced of Moussaoui's intentions as a
terrorist, and repeatedly tried to obtain a FISA (Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act) warrant to search his computer. In early Sept., French
Intelligence informed both the CIA and the FBI that Moussaoui had Al Qaeda
connections. A FISA warrant remained ungranted against Moussaoui, even
though under Clinton and Janet Reno no FISA request had been refused.

As an interesting aside, before 9/11 Ashcroft was known to put in 3 1/2 day
work weeks at the Dept. of Justice. In the early months of the administration,
FBI agents flew to Ashcroft's home in rural Missouri to obtain his signature
on a wire-tap for a terrorism investigation. Ashcroft was so displeased to
see the agents, he had them stand out in the cold while he sat in his pickup
to read and sign the documents.

On Sept. 4th, Cheney's counter-terrorism task force met for the first time.
According to the Pentagon's liaison for terrorism, Gen. Kerrik, Clinton's
had met almost weekly, but with Bush he "didn't see that same kind of focus."
On Sept. 10, Diane Feinstein, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee
briefed on July 5th, asked ***** Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby when
the administration would start focusing on these terror threats which had
so pre-occupied CIA's Tenet, the most severe in decades - she was told it
would have to wait another six months.

So, obviously, it's all Clinton's fault.

Pre-9/11 And The Bush Administration. It's All Clinton's Fault, Right?

by Kent Southard

And then back in August of 2001, there was that Presidential Daily
Brief boldly titled:

BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN THE US

http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/terrorism/80601pdb.html

So all this answers the loaded question as to whether or not 9/11 was
planned during the Clinton administration.

No they were only staged during the Klinton Adminstration.
They were planned in *1967*, during NIXIN Adminstration,
during the first Israeli-Eqyptian War.
A year *before* Before the foundation concrete was even
poured for the WTC.


And then they were finalized in 1979 during
the Jimmy Carter administration
and the Olympics bummer summer.

but they wait till a weakling fucking ***** dumb ***** like alfred e bush came
