This document was classified and intended for the president of the United States to inform him on information regarding Bin Laden. It indicated reports that warned the president about Osama Bin Laden planning to conduct attacks on the United States since 1997. The document reported that, in 1998, after the U.S. missile strike on his base in Afghanistan, Bin Laden has told his followers that he wanted to strike back in Washington. It continued to say that the millennium plotting in Canada in 1999 might have been apart Bin Laden’s plot to retaliate against the United States.

About eight months into his first term as president Bush had to deal with one of the worst tragedies in U.S. history, the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Although many of his moves during this time of turmoil in the United States were viewed as necessary and patriotic, a few years after the attacks information surfaced that completely destroyed Bush’s image. Long before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, during the Clinton administration, intelligence was collected that connected Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin-Laden to the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa. The Bush administration was warned by outgoing Clinton officials about Al-Qaeda, but information provided by Richard Clarke was the most sincere and frightening. Clarke, who remained from the Clinton
In the fall of 2010,Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed by American soldiers. It was quickly assumed that the Pakistani goverment helped with this mission but the Americans made it clear that they completed this task alone and with their intelliengence and stratgic ways were able to follow one of his couriers,who wife was from Swat.

After Bin Laden’s death, Pakistan intelligence was questioned.

I enjoy reading your post. I agree with you Osama Bin Laden was educated, dedicated to his cause and he did not show no remorse for the deaths of 2,996 people including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims. I personally feel that he should have been brought back to America to be charge for the deaths of all this innocent people and victims. He did put this amazing
It was as if Bin Laden had proven himself guilty. However, the Taliban instead decided to spark war by responding with none of the United States’ soldiers will return home alive (Taliban Again Refuses to Hand Over bin Laden). President Bush had to take preventive and preemptive action, a concept called “preemption,” in order to save his country and avoid another
How did a small number of American colonists with very limited means beat the large British empire? They did not do it alone. One of the Patriots’ most urgent goals was to gain foreign aid and form alliances with other countries. They succeeded through propaganda, diplomacy, and treaties. Propaganda has helped win many wars.
Bush went to Capitol Hill nine days after the attacks on September 11th to deliver a speech on what Congress thought would be a declaration of war. He demanded the Taliban surrender to the US. He wanted not only bin Laden but all al Qaeda leaders currently operating within Afghanistan. Bush also closed every terrorist training camp, arrested “every terrorist and every person in the terrorists” support structure, and called to free all foreign journalists, diplomats, and aid workers.

The first document being reviewed is unique, as it is the only one from a political leader, former president, George W. Bush. The State of the Union address titled, “The Axis of Evil,” was delivered by the former president in response to the attacks of September 11th. Throughout this speech, Bush addressed several different issues, along with solutions. He spoke about goals for the nation as a whole to protect American citizens from terrorists through military action. One goal mentioned in his speech, from paragraph three states, “Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction.
The Commonwealth Government implemented many wartime strategies, controlling the daily life of Australian citizens throughout WW2. Rationing the distribution of resources encouraged a resourceful spirit amongst the Australian public, whilst limiting everyday essentials. The use of propaganda became a more intrusive control by the Commonwealth government, as they interfered with beliefs as well as actions, regarding enlistment, the war effort and opinions towards enemy soldiers. The heavy censorship of information during WW2, had a significant impact on the Australian understanding of war as apposed to the horrifying realities, censorship also worked to protect military information from enemy interception, however at a strong cost to the freedom
Bush’s administration, the United States military invaded both Iraq and Afghanistan in hopes of bringing democracy and freedom to the nations, resulting in two long and expensive wars in the Middle East. During Bush’s administration, the most devastating terrorist attack happened in the United States, 9/11, allowing the administration to expand its military response. In response to this tragedy, Bush published the National Security Strategy of the United States (N.S.S.) in 2002 which contained Bush’s two core ideas on foreign affairs: preemption and preventive war and willingness to act unilaterally. Firstly, Bush’s plans for foreign affairs saw a major shift from containment to preemption, the justification of United States for attacking another nation to prevent an attack on itself, mainly nations who sponsor terrorism and pursue weapons of mass destruction (Bush). Bush shared this idea in the N.S.S. stating, “It is an enduring American principle that this duty obligates the government to anticipate and counter threats, using all elements of national power, before the threats can do grave damage” (Bush).
Austin King Ms. Den Otter A.P. English Language and Composition President Obama Speech Analysis On the morning of September 11th, terrorists hijacked 4 planes, 2 of which were crashed into the World Trade Center Buildings, another hit the Pentagon, and one was crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This tragic morning in American history caused the death of almost 3000 people, and the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was behind it. After planning a mission for around 4 years to execute Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011, he was killed by US special forces. President Obama follows this event with a speech, its goal being to inform the American people of the death of the man who had caused the death of so many loved ones, and achieves this by using rhetorical devices such as parallel structure and appeals to emotion. In the beginning of President Obama’s speech announcing the death of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, he reminds the American people of the tragic events that took place on the morning of 9/11, when “nearly 3,000 citizens were taken from us.”
In 1997, bin Laden declared war against the United States, four years after the first Trade Center bombing. During this time, bin Laden was plotting his next attack to kill thousands of innocent Americans. In 1998, al-Qaeda suicide bombers drove truck bombs toward the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. More than 200 people were killed in this attack.
The novel 1984, by George Orwell, presented an eerily realistic society brainwashed and controlled by their government. The main character, Winston Smith, was not easily manipulated, and documented his rebellious thoughts in a journal. He also rebelled physically, and was eventually caught. He was taken to the Ministry of Love to be tortured, and submitted to the control of the government. Throughout the novel, Orwell accurately depicted many aspects of Nazi Germany in the fictional nation of Oceania.
