Happy Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S. Day!

[meegbear]

Gather ’round, chilren, and we will tell you a tale from the olden times of a dozen years ago.

You kids these days, with your Justin Bieber haircuts (seriously, cut that shit out, you look like idiots) and your Snapchatting and your Instagramming so your parents who are still on Facebook don’t see what you’re really up to (oh yeah, we know about that, kids) probably can’t even imagine a time before terrorism mattered, but it’s true. Back then, a president’s love for vacation and brush-clearing was far more important than, like, protecting America from evildoers. Besides, Bill Clinton had been into protecting America and stopping terrorists, and in the early stage of his presidency, George Dubya Bush had intended for his legacy to be not being Bill Clinton. (That is why he also drove the economy straight into the ground, so no one would mistake him for Clinton, who gave us things like budget surpluses and jobs and stuff.) In those days, the Bush administration was far more concerned with things like busting pot clubs and covering up Lady Justice’s boobies because that’s what America used to be about, kids.

But then, 12 years ago today exactly, the original Usurper-in-Chief — the one whose brother rigged the voting rolls in Florida and then got the Republican Supreme Court to be all “Counting votes is for pussies, Bush wins, but don’t EVER quote us on that EVER,” and no, we are NEVER going to stop being bitter about that — was too busy summering on his ranch in Texas to give even an eighth of a fuck about receiving a Presidential Daily Briefing titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”

When bin Laden did “strike in U.S.” 36 days after Bush received a briefing that bin Laden was planning to do that — which NO ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED, according to Bush’s work wife Condi Rice — everything changed, of course, and then only Republicans cared about terrorism, while Democrats were busy hating America and the troops and freedom. That’s exactly how it happened, kids.

Now, of course, we can no longer take regular-sized toothpaste on planes, and we are required to wear flag pins at all times, and we must immediately send an email to a friend for the NSA to read if we see a brown person doing something suspicious because 9/11 changed everything. It even turned french fries into freedom fries. We had to stock up on duct tape for some reason that was never explained to us, and we had to take our families to Disney World so the terrorists wouldn’t win, and we had to watch what we said so Ari Fleischer would not get us fired from our TV shows. (Okay, well, that was just one guy.)

So what would he be saying here?

"Housing bubble? Oh man, wait a few more months if you want to see a bubble pop. They'll be cleaning up the U.S. for YEARS and I'll be counting the cash with Kenny Boy (sshhhh)! Let's get that beer . . ."

Like father, like son . . .

3. And there's The President!!

Wondering if he saw the attack on TV or was notified about it!

He "saw" it --

He was "notified" about it --

Which it it, Georgie? Which is it?

Americans are chumps!!!

5. +1000

I regret that I have but 1 rec to give to this piece...

oh, and BOOBIES! On Statues! Of Justice!! Must. Cover. Up!

...is that where they got the idea of all this secrecy?? No Boobs like Clapper must be shown that are not pre-authorized and state approved?

12. At least the government waste time covering up boobies any more

Someday, the DoJ will find something better to do than bust pot clubs -- like prosecute racketeers on Wall Street.

6. A picture of a man

who knows exactly what is happening and has no real control over it. He knows the plan, but deep inside may know that it is an "evil" plan. He is questioning himself. He has to go along with it though, that is why he was placed there to begin with.

7. Did you see this?

Former U.S. President George W. Bush underwent successful surgery at a Dallas hospital on Tuesday to place a stent in a blocked heart artery.

Doctors discovered the blockage on Monday during Bush's annual physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, according to a statement from spokesman Freddy Ford. They recommended a stent to open the blockage, and Bush, 67, underwent surgery on Tuesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, the statement said.

The former president was "in high spirits, eager to return home tomorrow and resume his normal schedule on Thursday," Ford said.

10. So we had the right intel then, BEFORE 9/11/01

We had their method, the targets, had some of the teams under surveillance and boiled all that down to one daily briefing memo that was given to the President 36 days prior and he did nothing.

The argument is made over and over that we need mass surveillance of every American to prevent another 911 but intelligence gathering WAS NOT the problem. Even after the attacks, there was an effort to disconnect the dots:

11. Seems like he may have been offed on the second plane, as the first one did not go on through

and out to the ocean as understood, in my opinion.
