Anyone who believed Bush knew about 9/11 also believes the moon landing was staged and that Oliver Stone is a historian. In other words they are a fucking nut.
If you actually go to the link with the senate findings you will see that while Saddam and Bin Laden were not "natural partners" they were joined together by a common enemy. Journalists are sure partisan nowadays. The senate committee found that Saddam and Bin Laden were partners. Go straight to the committee report people. Page 64 is a good place to start.
In the actual report Tenet states he was wrong to interject himself in the debate, not wrong about his intelligence. The journalist who wrote the article should be fired.
Everybody dies sooner or later. As Keynes stated "In the long run we are all dead." Revenge for 9/11 has never been a justification for the war. The little Shiite girls were glad to see the rape rooms closed.
The truth folks:
Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize
Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn't respond.

The truth the stinkin' Dems do not want you to know.
Hear Bill confess to turning down Bin Laden at http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/23/102636.shtml
I'm surprised Clinton and the Dems were stupid enough to complain about it. All he did was bring more attention to his administrations failures. The fact is the Clinton administration had an opportunity to take out Bin Laden and failed to do it. I always thought Clinton was a smarter politician than he showed here.
The one thing worse than religion is secular humanism. Secular humanists have, by and large, exchanged worshipping God in favor of worshipping the state. Religious leaders serve as a balance of power against political leaders. This is why tolitarian governments either attack religion (i.e. Stalin, Mao) or utilize it (i.e. Islamic leaders, popes between the 4th and 18th centuries).
Israel is not the reason Muslims are killing themselves and others in The Phillipines, Sudan, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Netherlands, France, etc., etc. Nor was it the primary motivation for 9/11.
