Out of the hundreds of threats the White House gets each day, which one's take priority? Pick one
Perhaps you're unaware that every intelligence agency in existence at that time began recieving multiple, frantic contacts from flight school instructors/owners from across Florida, telling of a sudden surge of new Islamic "students" who were unconcerned with takeoff or landing procedures (you can't make this shit up).
None of these guys were investigated and not a single one was even placed under surveillance. Unbelievable. Keep in mind that we'd already been attacked by Arabs (including the first WTC attack in the 90s), and Al Qaida was very much on the radar and considered to be the biggest threat in the world. But needless to say, these very same "students" went on to board those planes on 9-11.
So to me, when it comes to this money-funneling scheme known as the "war on terror", everything is a big load of red, white and bullshit.
