What you are saying is that the CIA did not know what they were doing when they provided all the warnings to Bush and Rice that we were about to be attacked.
This is what I mean when I say you have no idea what you are talking about.
We just finished dealing with the Chinese and the attack on our recon aircraft. Iraq was making noise and North Korea was making noise as well. The terrorist had been planning the attack on America for five years so what do you focus on? China, North Korea, Iraq, and Iran were all testing the new president with only eight months in office.
The biggest threat at the time was China followed by North Korea and Iran with Iraq bringing up a distant rear and AQ way behind Iraq.
You col. gene say that with all of that going on our president should have known that AQ was going to attack us at home when they have only been only been able to set off two car bombs in the US and that was during Mr. Clinton’s watch.
AQ in the Philippines came up with a plan to hijack airplanes and then refined that to blowing them up over the ocean so no one would be able to pin it on AQ. This was discovered after a plane was bombed but was able to land with only a few deaths meaning that the plan was not perfect. The plan was later refined to hijack planes and crash them into buildings in America. This part was not in the computer that was captured by the Philippine police. So yes, there were plans to attack America but the last credible intel we had was blowing up planes over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. We had hints that they might use the planes as missiles but all the information pointed to just blowing them up.
Since all of the above is public knowledge it means that you are a political hack not interested in the truth but in attacking the president for doing more than the last president did. You forget I was a democrat for decades before I realized that the liberals are more interested in power than serving the American people. I have never seen you write anything critical of Mr. Clinton who cut programs that kept us safe. It was Mr. Clinton who refused to kill ben Laden, capture him or take him when offered by two governments. During this time AQ was planning and training for the 9/11 attack. Mr. Bush was only running the country for 8 months and by the time Mr. Bush took over, the planning was done, the troops were in place, and they just waited for the date to attack. Once they are within our borders it is ten times harder to find and stop them. The chance to stop the attack was lost because Mr. Clinton did not want to get into a war on terror.
