Oh look, crusty talking out of his ass again. The CIA Director helps PRODUCE the PDB, and by that, I mean he has a team that does it. The Director has oversight.
"DI analysts are major contributors to the President’s Daily Brief (PDB), an Intelligence Community daily product managed by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) staff"
Pres George HW Bush-
"As for me, the PDB, the Presidential Daily Brief, was the first order of business on my calendar, too. I made it a point from Day One to read the PDB in the presence of a CIA officer and either Brent or his deputy. We tried to protect the distribution of the PDB because we knew very well once it was faxed or put through a Xerox machine, then the people preparing it with their oath to protect sources and methods would be inclined to pull back and not give the President the frankest possible intelligence assessments presenting the best possible intelligence.
So I made it a point there to read it with the CIA officer and usually Brent Scowcroft or sometimes his deputy or sometimes both. This way I could ask the briefers for more information of matters of critical interest, consult with Brent on matters affecting policy. I think it helped those who were working night and day out there in Langley to prepare the PDB to know that at least their product was being looked at by the President himself. I think it helped a little bit in the morale of that section of the CIA that works so hard to put this book together."
Well look at that, its not the Director who has to give the briefing. Hmmm... crusty making stuff up again? I'm shocked!
that's what i said, idiot. tenet is in charge of content, and has final say in what's included and what's not. no, he doesn't actually type up the report or go out in the field to gather the intelligence himself.
TENET: Well, the principal difference is that I would see the president every day to conduct the daily brief with our briefer usually six days a week. So this president wanted a face-to-face contact and so I was in the Oval Office with him or at Camp David every day of the week. </NITF>
like i said, he was in charge of not only content of pdbs but also in charge of delivering it, you moron!
so where's that link that proves bush continued to receive daily briefings when the guy in charge of it testified he stopped while bush was on vacation?

Too bad Homeland Security is short on manpower for the 9-11 anniversary. They've had all of their agents shutting down gambling/poker sites and keeping watch on the husbands of soccer moms in Dallas with Rick Perry bumper stickers....ow they are trying to catch up on this new threat. Apparently a concerned citizen in NYC called police to report several men speaking arabic and unloading boxes marked 'explosives' while chanting "allah willing, die America" in front of a building this week. When it got to Janet Napaltano's desk she put the file away because shes afraid these crazy SBR posters might be up to something shady with our sports betting.

From your link-
ROEMER: You don't see the president of the United States once in the month of August?
TENET: He's in Texas and I'm either here or on leave for some of that time, so I'm not here.
ROEMER: So who's briefing him on the PDBs?
TENET: The briefer, himself. We have a presidential briefer.
So, you were saying?

it doesn't answer whether he received any pdbs during his vacation or not. he had the capacity to receive it whether he has a briefer with him or not, as the fateful aug 6 pdb shows. the real question is did he read it and understand it without his primary briefer tenet or any senior official around for a month.
obviously no since he completely ignored it and went golfing.

IMO, I don't think an attack is coming. They don't have to. 2001 has done it's job.
We've been in a downward financial spiral ever since. Sure you might get some wanna be
martyrs trying something.
The earth is doing it's own terrorist attacks on us. We are at record weather related
financial losses. With every catastrophe we experienced this year, I'm sure the towel heads
are laughing it up.

Gold is right. Every year the media and government make up these bogus "threats" to scare Americans and make us aware that something could potentially happen. The government loves to make the public scared so they can say they've been doing a great job of keeping everyone "safe" and so they can keep on passing the best and most American bill over and over, The Patriot Act.

shit happens....as long as the Rams game isnt cancelled who cares what goes down
No way AQ tries to hit D.C., NC, L.A. or any other 'on alert' area where it would be even harder to sneak one through. If they want to launch a successful attack it will be planned around a smaller, mall or football game somewhere.....sure NYC has an abundance of people to target but it also has cameras, checkpoints, and police everywhere......I'd be more concerned about a high school stadium in Texas or a college game on ESPN with 90K people in an enclosed area with no security other than local police managing parking and alcohol entry into the place.
With that said....everyone calm down - nothings gonna happen, all media hype....let's enjoy some FOOTBALL!!!

OR it focuses the narrative today so people don't go back over that speech and realize it's the same pile of crap he's been pushing for a year now...just trying to rebrand it
It's still - spending, tax hikes, failed green projects, fear mongering about education, and worthless attempts to ty and make businesses hire people they don't need. But I'm sure they just enjoyed the cheers, cameras and ovations from the left side of the room to make it look pretty.

You just can't admit that you were wrong, can you? That quote clearly says that Bush received PDBs while on vacation, because the topic was Bush in August. Read the whole section if you don't believe me, but the questioner clearly asked Tenet about who gave PDBs to the Pres during that August, since Tenet wasn't around.
There is a guy who's sole job is to brief the president and understand the PDB, which is one of the most classified documents around... what would Tenet know that this guy wouldn't?

Yup. On Sept 5, following a rough summer for travel companies, Reuters released an article that had analysts in the industry saying they expected more trouble ahead for travel companies. One group purchased 95% of those put options, because they knew the stock would adjust to that news. On Sept 10, that same group BOUGHT over 100,000 shares of United Airlines. Why would they do that if they knew attacks were coming? By purchasing the put options, they were planning on hedging out their investment to increase the chances of profitability, that's all. Both the SEC and FBI investigated and confirmed this.

this is nuts. Ya was it Clinton's friggen fault when the USS Cole was bombed? Geez. For those that think Bush had anything to do with 9/11 is just sad. I supposed he was behinds all other attacks across the globe also. The bombing of the hotel in Indian and others. Give your heads a shake.

we don't think Bush had anything to do with it, and neither did Cheney.
But we do believe that certain elements within the CIA cooperated
with certain elements within the Mossad.
bush was literally told who, what, where and how they planned to attack a month prior to 9/11.
what did bush do after receiving this urgent warning from the cia? he went golfing and spent the next month on vacation (never once even discussed the warning with anyone).
a) no federal buildings in NY were hit
b) you dont need to do surveillance to crash a plane into a building
c) they didnt use explosives
nothing in that memo is accurate.
if you want to blame someone blame that slut clinton
