10 Disrupted al Qaeda Plots

by @ 3:06 pm. Filed under Terrorism and War

Today we learned details about one of the terrorist plots that THE EFFORTS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION foiled after 9/11/2001. But it is only 1 of 10! If this does not communicate to Americans that the threat of terrorism is real nothing will. If Bush wanted to “play on fear” during his last Presidential campaign, he could have easily mentioned something like this back in 2004. And bringing it up now is far too early to be a true political stunt. The threat is real and the announcement of thwarted plots is not even being announced at a time that would be most politically advantageous to Republicans. It’s just the facts!

Bush is doing the right thing to take extra measure to protect the American people. Now the hearings about wiretaps needs to stop and there needs to be an investigation, to find out who leaked the information!

Bush: Qaeda planned plane attack on LA (emphasis added)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and its allies thwarted an al Qaeda plot after the September 11 attacks to use bombs hidden in shoes to breach the cockpit door of an airplane and fly it into the tallest building in Los Angeles, President George W. Bush said on Thursday.

“The plot was derailed in early 2002 when a southeast Asian nation arrested a key al Qaeda operative,” Bush said in a speech.

Last October, the Bush administration had disclosed a plot to attack targets on the West Coast using hijacked planes, saying this was among 10 disrupted al Qaeda plots, but Bush provided more details on Thursday.

Bush referred to the plot as targeting the Liberty Tower in Los Angeles, but White House aides afterward said Bush had meant to say the intended target was the city’s Library Tower.

So we closed the cockpit doors and terrorist quickly adjusted. All I have to say is, I sure am glad Bush won!

Expose the Left has video of President Bush offering details about the plot to attack the Library Tower in Los Angeles.

Michelle Malkin has more details. The building is now named the US Bank tower.


update (2/9/2006 10:20PM ET):
The Political Pit Bull provides more details about the list of 10 terrorist plots. The page also has a list of 5 terrorist reconnaissance efforts that were broken up.

What if we were looking back on 11 to 16 instances of 9/11? Nobody would be crying for “civil liberties” then. After 1 instance of 9/11 it was time to make some changes.
