Particularly when even Richard Clarke has admitted that there was probably
nothing anyone could have done to prevent the 11 Sep 2001 attacks.
I've heard that misquote one too many times. What he said was that the steps he suggested the Bush administration should take _in January of 2001_ probably would not have prevented the attack. He suggested that if the administration had gotten off thier collective asses and beaten the bushes a bit when they were getting so many warnings of an impending attack, that it's impossible to tell what might have happened come September (paraphrase.)
The myth that the Clinton administration was soft on terrorism compared to the Bush administration has been totally shattered.
And now Bush comes out and says there was no iminent threat. This from the guy that went hermantile over intellegence provided by a few Iraqi ex-pats with the same agenda as himsef.
Yikes.
