SMITH: There‘s a history of people in polls saying nasty things of the president of the other party. I mean, Democrats in a poll in ‘06 and another one in ‘07 -- like, about half of Democrats said they thought maybe Bush had an idea about 9/11 before it happened. So I don‘t know how seriously to take those numbers. What I think is really different is that a lot of Republican politicians, as you say, are embracing it.

MATTHEWS: You mean because he got the memo? The presidential—daily presidential memo—

SMITH: You know—

MATTHEWS: -- that said bin Laden to attack within the United States?

SMITH: You know, the—

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: -- was warned in general terms.

-----------------------------------

Yea right Mr. Smith. Bush may not have known the exact time and place of the attack but he certainly was warned something was about to happen.

Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US

Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US was the President's Daily Brief prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency and given to U.S. President George W. Bush on August 6, 2001. The brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda 36 days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

President's Daily Brief (2001)

The President's Daily Brief (PDB) is a brief of important classified information on national security collected by various U.S. intelligence agencies given to the president and a select group of senior officials. On August 6, 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency delivered a President's Daily Brief to President Bush, who was vacationing at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Leak (2002)

The existence of the memo was secret until it was leaked in 2002. CBS Evening News reported on the document on May 15.

2. It was also brought to the fore in the 9/11 commission hearings
when Ben Veniste(sp?) asked Condi Rice about the memo and what the name of it was. She rolled her eyes upward cause she didn't want to answer the question but then said "Bin Laden determined to strike in the United States" then she added, we had no idea he would fly planes into buildings..as if that excused ignoring the memo.

5. Do you know why he looks like that = because Cheney had promised Bush
that they wouldn't do it while Bush was travelling - Cheney promised Bush that Bush would be made to look like he was in charge when they pulled it off. Then, in addition, Adnrew Card told him they were heading to Nebraska.

7. He pinned Ron Paul down on birtherism, pretty much
If Tweety is on a mission he'll naile 'em. But he swoons for neocons and loses all credibility.
