Bush highlights foiled 2002 L.A. terror plot

Quote:
WASHINGTON - Seeking to justify his tactics in the war on terrorism, President Bush on Thursday disclosed new details of an alleged al-Qaida plot to hijack a plane and fly it into the tallest high-rise on the West Coast in 2002.

The plot, aimed at a Los Angeles office building, had been known for some time, but Bush said that it “was derailed in early 2002 when a Southeast Asian nation arrested a key al-Qaida operative.”

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Thursday he was blindsided by Bush’s announcement, and described communication with the White House as “nonexistent.” ....

.... Following Bush’s disclosure, a Homeland Security official added more details, telling reporters that the leader of a four-man cell trained for the hijacking was arrested in February 2002, and that the three others were later arrested as well.



So he says...

All you "Bush bashers" are hypocrital pieces of ****.
You whine, cry, and scream that Bush has done nothing right with the War on Terror.
Well, FINALLY, it looks like there is documented evidence that this administration's actions has saved alot of innocent Amerians, and you still want to pretend that everything Bush is doing is wrong and idiotic.

HEY WAKE UP! Our government just saved alot of people from that attempt.

Your all hollow, worthless, and pathetic individuals. Critisize when critisism is due.... but at the same time, give the man a "good-job" when it's due.

Documented? Where's the documents? Oh that's right, the US Goverment doesn't allow us "civilians" to see such documents. Where's the imperical evidence? Not everyone likes your Bloodmoney King. So unless you can show me beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was actually going to happen, I will continue to bash that son of a bi[/i]tch into the dirt every chance I get.

The best way to do that is to send him a bicycle.


Quote:
Frances Townsend, assistant to the president for homeland security, also emphasized that the president’s speech was aimed at showing the importance of international cooperation, not as an attempt to support Bush's controversial eavesdropping program run by the National Security Agency.


Right cause Bush would never do that.

Quote:
In a speech at the National Guard Memorial Building, Bush said the cell planned to use shoe bombs to gain entry to the cockpit door and then fly the plane into a Los Angeles high-rise.


Shoe bombs. They also were in contact with their coconspirators via their shoe phones.

Quote:
The president called it the “Liberty Tower” but the White House later corrected that to the Library Tower, since renamed the US Bank Tower.


Must have been a typo on his teleprompter.

All hail Bush! Thank god they can arrest people in Asia all because of him.

Now if only they were able to effectively evacuate people before, or even within 2 days of a ntural disaster that left millions homeless - then maybe I'd have some respect for the scumbag.

I also have to admit that this statement:
Quote:
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Thursday he was blindsided by Bush’s announcement, and described communication with the White House as “nonexistent.” ....


Makes me laugh. It's already adknowledged that september 11th occurred largely because parties refused to share information with one another - and yet they didn't even inform the mayor. Good job feds.

In all fairness though, Villaraigosa was elected into office this year. Prior to that, Hahn had control during these crisis times.

Your point still stands, just not as strongly. While he wasn't the Mayor until this year, he was a council member. Hahn could have been bogartin' all the info, but I doubt it.

I just think its sad that during all of this time, they still can't share information with the parties involved who will be able to render assistance. The whole "we can handle it alone" attitude is really, really idiotic.
