I worked with a guy who went to Homeland Security after 9/11 to build a team to train security and emergency response teams. They spent big sums of money on that effort, and it paid off. > Lastly, why did it happen in the first place? Why was our country > unprepared in the first place?

Al Qaeda carried out multiple attacks on U.S. targets during the Clinton Administration, and Clinton failed to get him. The Clinton Administration prevented the military from killing Bin Laden with a missile strike because they needed "clearance". Lastly, Clinton prevented the FBI and CIA from sharing intelligence that could have uncovered the 9/11 plot and prevented it altogether. If you want to salvage any shred of credibility you still have, you need to acknowledge some widely accepted facts about the rise of Al Qaeda and the failure of the Clinton team to recognize and respond properly to the threat they posed. > I'm glad you like Bush, but be objective: he failed to protect us and > 9/11 resulted. > Be a man.
