Quote:Bush had been told that there was an Al Qaeda plot to hijack American planes. The FBI also knew of students at a flight school they suspected of ties to Bin Laden (citing him by name), and recommended an immediate review of all flight schools nationwide to find out if anyone else was involved. Want more? FBI agents in Minnesota were aware of a Middle Eastern flight school student who was planning to crash a hijacked plane into the WTC.

 

So, to recap, the Bush administration was aware of an Al Qaeda plot to hijack airliners. They were also aware of a handful of Middle Eastern students in American flight schools with ties to Bin Laden, and another who was believed to be plotting to crash a hijacked plane into the World Trade Center. To any American with a shred of common sense, that's more than enough information to, at the very least, detain all of the flight school students under suspicion and bring their family, friends and acquaintances in for questioning. George W. Bush had all the information he needed to be aware of the 9/11 plot and prevent it from happening. For whatever reason, his administration willfully ignored that information and used the attacks as justification for starting multiple wars that have been great for the bank accounts of several senior Bush staffers, their families and the companies they sat on the board of.
