| CNN - Why Won't Cons Admit Bush Didn't Keep Us Safe on 9/11?, 4/20/09 | |
| I appeared on CNN to discuss President Obama releasing CIA memos about torture. As you will see, Cheri Jacobus, a Republican strategist, claims George Bush kept us safe, but then repeatedly refuses to answer a very simple question: Did George W. Bush keep us safe on 9/11 during the worst terrorist attack in American history? And why did George W. Bush ignore CIA memos warning him of the attack? Watch until the end - you will see what I'm talking about. For more on the memos showing the Bush administration was warned by intelligence agencies of plane hijackings, and specifically plots to crash planes into buildings, see here: http://www.davidsirota.com/index.php/its-the-stupidity-stupid/ http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/TheNote/Story?id=120703&page=2 | |
