Why wasn't the attacks on 9/11/01 prevented by the previous elected officials?

Question

These elected officials knew of the plot to fly airplanes into high value targets 3 years prior to 9/11/01 and did nothing to prevent it.
Why is everyone blaming President Bush, when President Clinton knew of the plot but refused to act to prevent it from happening??

Answer 1

He knew of the plot? Did you read the 911 commission report? You are throwing out false accusations with nothing to back them up.

Answer 2

Wasn't the FIRST attack on the World Trade Center a wake-up call? Nope... They ignored it like they do everything else. I trust our government as much as I trust a compulsive liar...

I think it was BOTH of their faults. I believe that Clinton did have intelligence, but brushed it off. He was busy improving relations with other countries (which was one good thing I did like about him as our President). But I will play devil's advocate for a minute...let's say they did know about the plan to fly airplanes into high value targets. WHAT would they have done? There is nothing you can do to prepare for that. Do you permanently evacuate people from the buildings. If so, WHAT buildings. Maybe it could have been the Sears Tower, or the Empire State Building. Did they mean monetary "value" or financial "value." There are so many vague points, there really isn't a way they could have known with great certainty, unless there is something they were not telling us. Which is possible because our government lies...

As far as Bush, same as above. But he did have a really crappy presidency for his first term. I mean, he loses both ways. He goes to war and all of the anti-war protestors harp on him for it. He doesn't go to war and all of the "eye for an eye" conservatives get mad. He couldn't have made everyone happy, so from the start of his presidency, he already had people hating on him. BUT, I think it is about time we got out of Iraq and focused on our own economy. There are many other areas that need attention, such as: education, immigration, etc...

I think no President can be perfect, just as the government isn't perfect. I mean, the President is getting paid less than 19-year-old Hilary Duff for crap's sake. We can't expect them to know all and be almighty. They do the best they can and make the decisions they think are best, whether they turn out to be right or wrong.

People, the mainstream media is melting your brains. Get your political news from the internet (where censorship and suppression are limited) and DVD's. One very good dvd is "The Press for Truth". This is where you learn that the families of the 9/11 victims have dozens of questions that the gov't will not answer. The reason they will not answer is the same reason G. Bush would not testify to the 9/11 Commission under oath, the same reason G. Bush would not testify without Cheney at his side answering the questions for him, the same reason the mainstream media would not print the BBC story on 9/23/01 that at least 6 of the "alleged hijackers" are still "alive and well". Get you a big bottle of Jack Daniels and peruse the website: scholarsfor911truth.org/.

Answer 4

It's neither Pres Clinton's or Pres Bush's fault. Sure everyone can play Monday morning quarterback, but I'd prefer to look for solutions and prevent future attacks, and fight terrorists now instead of in the past. We can look to the past and determine what security failures allowed this to happen, but beating up people for lack of foresight isn't solving anything. On Sept 10, 2001 would you have imagined hijackers taking control of commercial airliners and simultaneously committing suicide runs into the WTC, Pentagon, and who knows where the other plane was headed. All I know for sure, is that the people on United 93 that rushed the terrorists are heroes.

Answer 5

It demands a constitutional modification. The suitable courtroom has struck down extra beneficial than a million attempt to get around this on the state point. My very own opinion? we've term limits. they are called elections. in case you do unlike who's in place of work, vote them out.

Answer 6

Because the average Bush hater wants only to slam their head into the sand. They hope that it will all go away and seek to place blame on whoever they can without actually looking into anything.

Maybe if Clinton had not been spending so much time with Monica in his office..... we'd have been able to stop this.

Clinton was at the helm for all of the attacks except the last, and he was at the helm while that last one was being planned.
Clinton was more worried about how good he looked on TV and of course you know he has the defintion of what the word "is" is....

He was just a smooth talking slick lawyer that slid out of office leaving Bush to solve all the garbage he had caused.

Answer 7

Hello,

Because he, like his predecessors, had an agenda to meet.

This has been going on long since we were born my friend.

It is called, Total World Domination or New World Order or One World Government.

Oh! And if you are familiar with the Bible, you will already know what the Bible says in Daniel, Ezekial, Matthew 24 and Revelation, about the end times.

Hope this helps you.................... : - )

Answer 8

President Bush had all the info President Clinton had and then some. You cant blame a President who was already out of office, for the current Presidents failure to act.

Answer 9

o.k. , say you recieve a fax stating there might be some terrorist planning an attack on some building in america somewhere at sometime involving someone . how about we blame the people who actually did it instead of trying to find a way to blame it on our own leaders . Your answer to why is everyone blaming bush would be idiot liberals and their massive propaganda on the weak minded .

Answer 10

Yes your head was apparently up your azz at the time but BUSH was president and had been for some time.
