Who gets blamed for the 9/11 terrorist attack? Options

[*Statistik*]

Guys..I dont really know much about the terrorist attacks at 9/11..who gets blamed for it? osama, saddam, or bush?

[Spirited Away]

i'm sorry if you felt i lumped you with the general american public, but it's true that most of people afraid of getting bombed and what not. i refuse to worry about getting anthrax in the mail or whatever  rubbish i'm fed by the media, who is in turn oppressed by the political climate imposed by bush. as NPR said, "news is no longer news; you turn it on to confirm what you already know."

osama bin laden was already quite well recognised as a crazy bastard, with the bombing of that ship and various other unpleasantries. it would make little difference if people thought it was a way to suppress privacy now, since that is exactly what is happening.

There are many recognized crazy bastards all over the world and there are also unrecognized ones. Would you have guessed that any one of them would attack? I didn't, but I do not dare to disregard the possibility of it either and I think you can agree with me somewhat on this.

If there is such oppression in the media, then it will be general knowledge to ignore what's being said in the news opinion wise and we can just focus on events, which we should be focusing on in the first place. I'm sure you have many different sources for news, do you think that all of them are corrupted? I sometimes browse through European news and sites (such as British and French news) and read American as well as Vietnamese newspapers to get my news and form my opinions based on these different sources. We are NOT limitted to CNN, Fox, NBC, MSN... etc.

An excerpt from this article taken from the CNN.com website:


President Bush's daily intelligence briefings in the weeks leading up to the September 11 terror attacks included a warning of the possibility that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network would attempt to hijack a U.S.-based airliner

We get threats ALL the time. Remember the trend of bomb threats in school after Columbine? I was in PE class (high school) when there was an emergency evac because some idiot sent the principle a bomb threat email. Of course nothing happened, but then there were bomb threats following that one, and nothing happened. The news reported that several schools received bomb threats as a joke.

The excerpt said that the President was warned that there was a possibility of a hijacking. He should have taken it seriously, yes, but what then? Could he have prevented it, you think? The article also CONTINUES that "the officials said, there was no speculation about the use of an airplane itself as a bomb or a weapon, and no specific, credible information about the possibility of a hijacking of any sort".

Also, the same article says that Bush DID TAKE PRECAUTIONS:
"It was in May 2001, for example, that Bush asked Vice President Dick Cheney to lead an administration task force to assess the country's counter-terrorism effort."

What more can he do but to assess the situation? What CAN he do without "specific, credible information"?
