Just a reminder
by David Atkins (“thereisnospoon”)
In case everyone forgot, here is the beginning of the memo President Bush received on August 6th, 2001:
Clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate bin Laden since 1997 has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the US. Bin Laden implied in U.S. television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and “bring the fighting to America.”
President Bush’s response:
Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: “All right. You’ve covered your ass, now.”
Enjoy your weekend of non-stop 9/11 retrospectives on TV, none of which will be as poignant or as relevant as what has just been posted here.
Oh, and did I mention that Bin Laden is dead, and that it took a Democrat in the White House to finish the job?
