Why did George Bush Sr. allow the first WTC bombing to occur?

Question

i know people are quick to blame clinton for something that happened 8 months after he left office, so why did Bush Sr. allow something to happen only 38 days after he left?

just to clear it up, im being sarcastic. i dont blame anybody for either one that happened. it just happens.

Answer 1

good question, we will never know the answer to it, why did bush sit for 7 minutes on 9/11 and do nothing but sit there

Answer 2

I'll accept that Bush Sr. is responsible for the first WTC bombing if you'll accept that Clinton was responsible for 911. You don't get to have it both ways. And the majority of the left won't admit Clinton's responsibility for 911 at all.

Ultimately, it's a failure on the part of the US government since back in the days of Reagan. And finally, GWB is dealing with terrorism the way it should have been dealt with back then.

Answer 3

President Clinton ought to no longer be blamed for 9/11, he became no longer in workplace even as it exceeded off. President Bush became in the White homestead for 8 months earlier to 9/11. perchance President Bush chosen to ignore intelligence, only as he did earlier to getting in to Iraq. after all it got here about for the time of President Bush's watch, and he should be blamed for this alongside with Rudy Giuliani the massive apple Mayor. Rudy is made out to be a hero, besides the undeniable fact that the hearth warring parties of 9/11 says he should be blamed for far of the Command and administration mess ups, by no longer good equipping the hearth warring parties with the right radios and different verbal substitute equipment. The WTC became hit two times for the time of Rudy Giuliani's watch.

Answer 4

While it isn't really his fault, Clinton affirmatively chose to treat terrorists like criminals rather than an enemy at war, which meant essentially that they had a freer hand in planning. Is there some evidence that suggest Bush Sr. did anything similar?

Answer 5

The same reason George W. Bush allowed Hurricane Katrina to hit New Orleans, the same reason that Herbert Hoover allowed the stock market to crash and the same reason FDR allowed the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor. They simply do not control what happens. I swear people act like presidents are kings or gods. They aren't responsible for every disaster that happens and conversely they shouldn't be given credit for every thing that goes right. It's more to do about luck then sound policy or decisions.

Answer 6

You make it sound like Mr Bush gave his permission to do so.Clinton is the one that was on watch when it was being planned...Bush walked into Clinton's mess. He had to clean up after his predecessor. It didnt all come to fruition in 38 days.
Actually, by Clinton getting head, he allowed it to happen, because he was too busy trying to cover it up and sweep it under Hillary's rug

Answer 7

Your brain is slipping in the mud of liberal lies and misinformation. Bush Sr. "allowed" nothing of the kind. Clinton's a treasonous communist with no loyalty to America.

Answer 8

When Bush Sr. left office he left information on the terrorists for Clinton. Clinton didn't have the balls to do anything. Plain and simple.

Answer 9

dont you mean why didnt Clinton take the information passed to him not only by the former president,but by Lybia whom was practically begging us to take Osama Bin Laden from them on numerous occasions,especially when Bush sr gave Clinton all the intelligence on terrorism,but Clinton didnt do the same for Bush jr?

Answer 10

He didn't. That was arranged by Tip O'Neill and Teddy Kennedy after the Terrorists bribed them with a bottle of Scotch, and it wasn't even good Scotch.

Answer 11

I've asked this very question. Guess what? No Conservative ever answers! They fail to see the similarity of the argument.
~~Above: Clinton DID leave information, plenty of information, for George W. Bush.
