"Bin Ladin's Networks' Plans Advancing" (5/26/01)
"Bin Ladin Attacks May Be Imminent" (6/23/01)
"Bin Ladin and Associates Making Near-Term Threats" (6/25/01)

And, of course, there's the infamous "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike US" daily security briefing from August 6, 2001.
No, he obviously had NO FUCKING IDEA this was in the works.
Fuck you, Dick. Fuck you, George. Fuck. You.
This, combined with Cheney's 180 degree flip-flop on the subject of gay marriage (now he's for it, when he was running for, and in, high-profile office(s) on a very Conservative platform, he was against it to the point where he would go into attack-dog mode at the mere mention of his daughter)... this sounds like a man who realizes that he's been a complete cockmonger, and is trying, too late, to try and gild that steaming pile of pig shit.
