Looking for that Condi quote about 9/11
she said something like "If we had known the specific seat numbers and names of the hijackers.."

I'm trying to show some "friends" that smirk's admin dropped the ball with preventing "9/11". I've got the infamous PDB "Bin Laden Determined..." and the 9/11 Commission Report has some other boo-boos, but they did omit other things. For one, I am sure that I read that some important gov't execs or reps were told to cancel their flights on Sept 11 as a precaution?

5. Thank you, I thought maybe she was being sarcastic
and showing that they would only act if there was very specific info.

6. What she said
I remember Condi Rice saying that if they knew that terrorists would fly planes into buildings, they would have acted to stop it.

But I also seem to remember her saying something about "traditional" hijackings. Something along the lines that the govt figured if terrorists would ever use our planes, it would be for a "traditional" hijacking.

11. That's why she and her boss get along so well...
Neither one of them have very much respect for the truth, or the reality-based community.
