PRESIDENT BUSH'S PERSONAL COPY OF DECLASSIFIED DAILY INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING FOR AUGUST 6th, 2001
Easter Sunday Statement by the President
|
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, and Happy Magical Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Day. Yesterday, after weeks
and weeks of listening to nosey reporters whine while my approval ratings sank into the crapper, I made a decision –
which despite the fact that I said I'd never do it should NOT be interpreted as a Kerryesque "flip-flop" –
to release one of my super-secret Presidential Daily Briefings. Now this particular PDB, entitled "Bin Laden
Determined to Strike in US," was read aloud to me by Condi Rice on August 6th, 2001 – the same
exact day I was due to leave for my first of many well-deserved month-long vacations at my luxury ranch in Texas.
Well today, I trust that the American people will agree I did the right thing, when after glancing over that ridiculously vague memo
filled with specific references to a domestic al Qaeda attack, I promptly skipped town for thirty fun-filled days
of golf, jogging, and naps.
Thank you.
