Is the Aug 6, 2001 PDB in the ABC 911 movie?

[KelleyKramer]

'PDB' is Presidential Daily Briefing

The intelligence agents who prepared it felt the threat was so dire that they made the title of that brief.. "Bin Laden Determined to attack inside the United States"

What did Bush do in reaction to this warning?

George Bush went on the longest vacation of any president in over three decades.

Just curious... is that in the movie????

[grytpype]

1. From what I read on E&P

there is a shot of Condi looking at the PDB with a concerned expression. That's it.

They don't have the CIA briefer carrying it out to Crawford, reading it to Commander Numbnuts, and being told "OK, you covered your ass."

My Pet Goat isn't in there either.

[kurth]

2. No PDB. No "My Pet Goat" either.

[Niche]

3. Did and said NOTHING for hours... HOURS!!!!

[TahitiNut]

6. Didn't do anything in 8 months beforehand, either, except IGNORE threat

The deliberacy with which this regime IGNORED terrorist threats before 9/11 matched the way they've deliberately IGNORED the impverishment of the working poor and the minium wage.

In other words, it happened the way they wanted it to. :shrug:

[blm]

4. Heck - is the Jan30, 2001 HartRudman Report on Global Terror that was

handed to Bush in the movie?

The TWO and a HALF YEAR study of global terrorism commissioned by Clinton and the congress that also included URGENT proposals for homeland security - a plan that a President Gore would have read the very day it was handed to him and worked to implement its most urgent measures.

8. Damn, I forgot about that...

Good point

There is so much these people did, or DIDNT do ... its astounding.

5. "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the United States".The PDB deserves

its own "docudrama".

[DemInDistress]

7. feb. 2001 bush orders the FBI to curtail all investigations into

saudi nationals. will that be included? and maybe they'll include cheney's secret energy task force meeting and who's playing ken lay?

[KelleyKramer]

10. What about flying all the Bin laden family out of US..

When planes were still grounded.

Lemme guess.. that's not in their 'docudrama' either.

[DemInDistress]

14. yes that too and this, 7/21/01 ashcroft warned not to fly commercial

jets, when asked why ashcroft replied,"threat assessment" he and the BFEE wouldn't share that threat.

I wonder if the arrest of moussouari and chimp's 5 week vacation will be included.

ABC should do a documentary comprised from facts in the Timeline to Terror by DU-er Paul Thompson.

[KelleyKramer]

17. And the summit in Italy, July 2001 that Bush went to..

They had to move him and install anti-aircraft batteries because terrorist wanted to kill them with a plane.

Kinda ruins the whole pathetic.. 'nobody ever thought of a plane as a weapon' excuse.

[DemInDistress]

18. hi KK..your right..that G8 meeting had bush seriesly (lol) concerned

he didn't want to stay overnight in that posh palace for just that reason.Rumor had it the terror guys wanted to crash the party so to say. Bush stayed aboard a US Carrier. The wuss.

thanks kelley for that reminder ...

[whistle]

9. Nope...

[seabeyond]

11. condi reads it with concern and shakes her head. it cuts, bush

is aggressive and in command in the situation

[antonialee839]

12. Cut to Bush aggressively clearing brush.

[KelleyKramer]

13. and biking, golfing... fishing ..

For a full month!

[DoYouEverWonder]

15. Do they show what the rest of Bush's cabal did that morning?

All of them sat in their respective offices watching the attack on TV without lifting a finger to respond to the ongoing attack or to defend their country. TRAITORS, all of them.

16. it went AWOL with the Pet Goat:
