Gary Hart: 'We said September 11 was going to happen. I was angry with myself for not doing more'
The Monday Interview: Former senator and twice-failed presidential candidate
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington

25 October 2004

These 3 paragraphs are from the middle of the artilce

"On the morning of 11 September, Mr Hart was at his home in Kittredge, Colorado, reading The New York Times website and watching television when reports appeared saying a plane had flown into one of the towers of the World Trade Centre. Moments later he watched, live, as the second plane struck.

"Our commission did not say where or when or how," he says. "We said it was going to happen. It was so obvious to me that this was it. I was tearing my hair out. I was angry with myself for not doing more, not trying to get more attention to the issue."

Mr Hart believes John Kerry will be a better listener than George Bush. He believes the Democratic challenger will be prepared to reach out and build international alliances to deal with new and pressing problems, problems he believes the present structures and institutions are ill-equipped to deal with. But some of the measures he believes will need to be taken may be a step too far, even for Mr Kerry."

This is just one more piece of evidence that the *ush gang was warned REPEATEDLY.

1. My first reaction on 9/11 was, "Well, they finally got it done!"
Meaning that what was attempted on the WTC in February 1993 (a month after Clinton's inauguration -- no blaming Bush 41 then either) had been acomplished.

I was riding to work and said those exact words to a colleague, only later to find out that Bush's comment on the first tower being hit was, "That's some bad pilot" before he nonchalantly went into a classroom to read a "goat story"!

Why did I, a Midwestern clodhopper, never ever privy to classified documents "hit the nail on the head" yet our pResident seemed to be out of the loop? Maybe he really wasn't surprised!!!

2. Bush is a victim of a midnight Lobotomy a long time ago
He has a flawed brain
