Quote from waggie945:
And in the meantime, I will give you some interesting food for thought regarding John O'Neill, a Deputy Director of the FBI:
Are you aware of the situation surrounding John OâNeill?
He was a Deputy Director of the FBI, and was the chief bin Laden hunter. He investigated the first Twin Towers bombing, he investigated the Khobar Towers bombing, he investigated the bombing of our embassies in Africa, and he investigated the bombing of the USS Cole. He was the guy in government who knew everything about bin Laden, and he quit the FBI in protest three weeks before 9/11. He quit because he said he was not being allowed to investigate terror connections to Saudi Arabia, because such investigations threatened the petroleum business we do with that nation. OâNeill quit, took a job as chief of security at the World Trade Center, and died doing his job on September 11. The fact that he was thwarted in his terrorism investigations clearly left a hole in our intelligence capabilities regarding these threats â the guy who knew the most about it was not allowed to pursue those connections to the greatest possible degree.
Now what was it you were saying about how the Bush Administration didn't drop the ball heading into 911?
VERY interesting.
All the debate about whether Bush et al were focused too much on Iraq....of course they were. There is plenty of evidence that Dubya and his band of merry hard-liners came into power with their sights on Iraq. Paul O'Neill and others confirm this. All the spinning from the administration is just a smokescreen. Of course, it helps them to have FOX 'news' and their phalanx of AM radio Goebbels screaming denials and spreading lies.
What a mess.
