A reporter asked Bush, "Wasn't that current threat information? That wasn't historical; that was ongoing."
Bush said, "Right," and then went right into implicitly blaming the FBI: "Had they found something, they would have reported it to me." He said the possibility of an airplane hijacking had nothing to do with turning them into missiles.
Bush said, "I am satisfied that I never saw any intelligence that indicated there was going to be an attack on America -- at a time and a place." The next day, he added, "There was nothing in there that said, you know, there's an imminent attack."
Bush is satisfied, but his surreal attempt to plead ignorance should leave even less for Americans to be satisfied about.
