Dubya failed to take warnings of terrorist attacks seriously in 2001

Catherine Salgado addressed the news of George W. Bush not taking the threat of 911 seriously prior to the tragedy:

Don't forget that jihadis who would become 9/11 hijackers were approved to enter our country, and even trained at U.S. flight schools. You'd think a bunch of Arabs interested only in controlling planes in flight and not in landings would set off alarm bells. But that would have required American politicians from both political parties and flight instructors to overcome their delusion of a century or more that Islam is a religion of peace, and that flagging suspicious behavior from Muslims is racist. Was that why the memo below didn't result in a contingency plan for if a hijack attack occurred? Something obviously got dropped, because in September 2001, when the hijackings did occur, there was no U.S. military response that went into prompt action.

BREAKING: George W. Bush was personally warned in May of 2001–via a top secret memorandum marked “For the President Only”—that Osama Bin Laden was planning spectacular attacks against the U.S. using hijacked aircraft.

Westerners keep forgetting that Muslims pass down their goals of conquest from generation to generation and from country to country. We are not fighting isolated terrorist groups or radicalized individuals. We are fighting a global religious and political cult.

That is precisely the point that Bush ignored after 9/11, and that has caused Americans so much trial and trouble since then.

Also note the info on X telling that Bill Clinton ignored warnings of al Qaeda threats, and that too tells something. Since that time, there have been people who've come to depise Dubya for his failings, based on what he said at least 5 years ago. No doubt, there are plenty of 911 Families members who're outraged at him too, with reason.

Interestingly, at this year's 9-11 Memorial, former secretary of state Condoleeza Rice, who also caused damage to Israel based on how she carried out Dubya's demand for Israel to exit Gaza, had the following to say:

Condoleezza Rice, who served as White House national security adviser at the time of the attacks, provided another unusual moment by accepting a measure of responsibility for the failure to prevent them. Rice said she continued to feel profound pain that "those of us in authority on that day did not see the nature of the danger in time to prevent the attack of 9/11."

"We did what we knew how to do, but it was not enough," she said. Rice added: "I will always carry deep personal remorse for the pain that you, the families of the fallen, still feel, and for the trauma that our country endured."

Forget it, if she hasn't apologized for hers and Dubya's role in what led to October 7, 2023, then her alleged "take of responsibility" for September 11, 2001 remains unconvincing. There've been so many failures to be vigilant over the years on serious issues like these, and some would-be conservatives certainly have a lot of explaining to do.
