OT - Then no one is to blame from either party for not seeing 9/11 sometime in advance and heading it off? But I have heard that charge from all sides over and over and over. The Middle East was a major focus for US foreign policy in the mid-1980's yet we didn't take adequate security measures at vulnerable public US facilities. Something here is remarkably inconsistent. ;<) As for my cynicism, I doubt many others on SI ever worked inside the Washington spin machine. Once you have, you will never listen to another political speech or government briefing the same way. They start with self-serving and manipulative and then get really dishonest. As for your statement, "RR didn't upgrade anything until a couple were blown up 5 years into his presidency," the statement is remarkable only in its unremarkability. One wouldn't expect upgrades to embassies (presumably under the police protection of the foreign sovereign) until it became common knowledge (via explosion) that the extant protection was defective. That's correct, isn't it?
