As we have discussed many times, a primary function of any government entity is to protect the lives and property of the citizens they serve. As we just passed the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, it has become obvious that the American political class has been inept and lacking of empathy when it comes to these attacks:
1)The Trump administration recently released a trove of CIA intelligence reports and analyses that were compiled during the Clinton and Bush administrations. Those reports and analyses outlined the danger of Islamic terrorism cells and potential for terror attacks years before the 9/11 attacks. And both administrations obviously did nothing to prevent the worst attacks on U.S. civilians ever:
Those CIA documents correctly predicted that Osama Bin Laden was hell bent on attacking the United States three years before the 9-11 attacks.
In 1998, one document and analysis hypothesized that terrorists “may fly an explosive packed airplane into a U.S. city.”
The reports started in February, 1998 and ran to September 12, 2001.
The contents of these reports were reported directly to Clinton and Bush in their daily CIA security briefings.
All of the reports emphasized that Bin Laden was obsessed in executing an impactful attack on United States interests and targets, either domestically or overseas.
Some of the reports claimed that Bin Laden’s people were training to hijack airliners, plotting to take hostages, and doing dry runs to test U.S. airport security.
An August, 2001 report emphasized that “Bin Laden [was]determined to strike the U.S.” and “clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate bin Laden since 1997 has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the US.”
Thus, the CIA apparently did their job: they assessed the situation, came to the correct conclusions of what Bin Laden was intent on doing, forwarded that information to both the Clinton and Bush administrations and both administrations did nothing to prevent the attacks and the carnage. A massive and catastrophic failure of a basic government function: protecting the lives of the citizens they oversee.
2)But this is not the only time that Clinton failed to prevent the future 9-11 terrorist attacks. In 1996, the government of Sudan offered to arrest Bin Laden and extradite him.
But the Clinton administration passed on the opportunity to take him out of circulation which resulted in Bin Laden being kicked out of Sudan and he eventually landed in Afghanistan. There he was protected by the Taliban who allowed him to plan and then execute the 9-11 attacks. Another failure to protect the lives of American citizens.
3)And while Bush and Clinton failed to act on extensive intelligence that the CIA had gathered using American taxpayer dollars, wasting those counter intelligence efforts, the recent disgusting actions by two modern day politicians showed the disdain they have for the people they are supposed to represent and protect.
At the 9-11 memorial service this past Friday to remember, mourn, and grieve on the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks, Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani were insulting the memory of those who perished in the attacks and the grieving families that were present at the memorial. I think my message to the Congresswoman summarizes what happened:
Congresswoman:
First, thank you for your time. Second, I am not a Trump or Republican voter so please don't go there. Okay, my question: will you be apologizing to the families that lost loved ones as a result of the 9-11 terrorist attacks in NYC because you found it perfectly okay to laugh and joke with Mamdani while the names of those who lost their lives were being read aloud and honored? I found your laughing despicable and abhorrent. Families were mourning the loss of their loved ones and you somehow found humor and levity during the mourning process. If you thought being there in front of saddened families and friends was funny you and Mamdani should have stayed home and made fun of the mourning and remembrance in private. Thus, my original question: will you be issuing an apology for your insensitive/disrespectful behavior or have you no respect or kindness for the occasion and those who lost their lives?
Disgusting and inept behavior from past and current members of the American political class. Inability to recognize and act on clear cut and specific terror signs long ago, resulting in 3,000 American lives perishing, and disgusting and disrespective behavior during the honoring of those 3,000 American lives that perished for no reason. Another sad chapter of incompetence and disgusting American political class failure and behavior.
