A personal request to BinLadin
This is directly quoted from the whitehouse website.Part of a recent press conference:
Q Mr. President, could you tell us, did you see the presidential — the President’s Daily Brief from August of ‘01 as a warning —
THE PRESIDENT: Did I see it? Of course I saw it; I asked for it.
Q No, no, I’m sorry — did you see it as a warning of hijackers? And how did you respond to that?
THE PRESIDENT: My response was exactly like then as it is today, that I asked for the Central Intelligence Agency to give me an update on any terrorist threats. And the PDB was no indication of a terrorist threat. There was not a time and place of an attack. It said Osama bin Laden had designs on America. Well, I knew that. What I wanted to know was, is there anything specifically going to take place in America that we needed to react to?
It scares me through and through that this same guy has the power to destroy the world….
And Usama, please, next time mail your detailed terrorist plots directly to the whitehouse. Preferably with a recent photo, fingerprints or some other form of identification. It’s not fair the way you do it. You always win
