the point of the 9/11 Commission, to me, is not whether or not the tragedy could have been prevented all-together; but whether or not the Bush administration did anything at all with the information they got in the months prior to the attacks. the White House would like nothing better than to tell people that had they known they were gonna attack on that day, with those planes, with those highjackers, they would've done something. well, i sure fucking hope so! the sheer laziness of those kinds of statements are horrible. don't these guys know how to do their jobs? or are they too busy raising money and hiding in Crawford, Texas for most of the year? that's the issue to me. i wanna know if they sat on their lazy asses when all the info came in. i'm sure you wanna know what kind of Leaders you got up there.
and the second point i wanna bring up, which was one of Clarke's great statements, was the fact that going into Iraq deflected important attention from the actual "War on Terror" going on in Afghanistan against Al-Qaeda. the media seems to have forgotten about this little point (and the Saudi connection in 9/11, and the Saudi connection with the Bush administration). if they did their job, Pres Bush wouldn't be able to talk about the War on Terror when talking about Iraq and the American public would be able to see the biggest lie of them all -- that they were lied to in order to invade a country that was no threat to America. period.
this White House seems hellbent on failing at anything it starts.
