Stephen Fuller House Plans

Do you think Obama does not take account of briefings from his office, and messages like "There will be a major terrorist attack in the coming weeks or months!" Or would it act differently if there was direct evidence of terrorist threats on U.S. soil?

Alarmed CIA officials had already held a special meeting with then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, July 10 to explain the growing evidence of an impending attack and had delivered on August 6 a "Presidential Daily Brief "Bush entitled" Bin Laden determined to strike in the U.S.. "

After reaching the White House, CIA briefly identified in the only book that Rich B., started his presentation by saying: "There will be a major terrorist attack in the coming weeks or months!"

B. Rich then displayed a chart showing "seven specific pieces of information gathered during the past 24 hours, all predict an imminent attack," Tenet wrote. The brief presented a list with other "statements colder than we had in our possession through intelligence."

These comments included a statement in mid-June by Osama bin Laden to trainees in an attack in the near future about decisive acts and something "big" and fresh intelligence about predictions of a " stunning turn of events in the weeks to come, "Tenet wrote.

B. Rich Rice said that the attack will be "spectacular" and designed to inflict serious losses against American targets, Tenet wrote.

"Attack preparations have been made," said Rich B. on the plans of Al Qaeda. "Multiple and simultaneous attacks are possible, and they will occur with or without warning."

When Rice asked what to do, the CIA Black said: "This country needs to make a war footing now." The CIA officials sought approval of the authority secret-share major who had been languishing since March, Tenet wrote.

Despite July 10 statement, other senior officials of the Bush administration has continued to mock the seriousness of the threat of Al Qaeda. Two neo-conservatives leading the Pentagon - Stephen Cambone and Paul Wolfowitz - suggested that the CIA might be falling for a disinformation campaign, Tenet wrote.

But the evidence of an impending attack continued to pour in. At a meeting of the CIA in late July, Tenet wrote that Rich B. officials said bluntly, "they come here," a statement which was followed by a stunned silence.

proof of the intelligence community has been summarized in the PDB special was presented to Bush while he was vacationing at his ranch in Crawford.

The PDB has ended by noting that "FBI information ... indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country according to the preparation of hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York. The FBI is conducting approximately 70 field investigations throughout the U.S. that it considers Bin Ladin-related. CIA and FBI are investigating a call to our Embassy in UAE in May saying that a group of supporters of Bin Laden in the attacks in the United States planning with explosives. "

Bush apparently was not pleased by the intrusion of the CIA on his vacation, or absence of specific targets and report dates. He stared at the shortest of the CIA and broken, "Okay, you've covered your ***," according to an account to author Ron Suskind, The One Percent Doctrine., Who relied heavily on agents The CIA superiors.

Order no particular response, Bush returned from his vacation a month of fishing, clearing brush and working on a speech on stem cell research. "


It is obvious that Bush has not recognized the urgency of what he was dealing wit.
