<..predator unmanned drone .. Couldn't have stopped the 911 attack even if Bush had had OBL killed prior to 911. In fact, I suspect if Bush had taken out OBL prior to 911, many on the left would now be claiming 9-11 happened because of OBL's killing.> Whether Ossama was alive or dead before 9-11 has nothing to do with the point I am trying to make about the predator. My point is that junior ignored the real terrorism before 9-11. He was soft on terrorism. You also don't seem to understand my second point about the two hijackers who were here taking flying lessons. The point is that if junior had done his job he would have ordered our intelligence agency heads to get out there and shake the trees. If he had had enough sense to do this there is a good chance the head men may have been able to find out about them. If they had been investigated there is a good chance the attack could have been prevented.

<chatter concerning an imminent attack was way up preceding 9-11 --- And should we have shut down the airline industry on the basis of the chatter? > You have a great propensity to look at things as if there is a need to apologize for junior's lack of leadership instead of looking at things and asking what should have been done. When all of the warnings started junior should have been on top of things. He should have had the heads of all of the investigative bodies under his command doing whatever they could to find out if the chatter was for real. Junior ignored warning after warning and the attack happened. Junior failed to protect the US. That makes him a failure. <We know that Zacarias Moussaoui was arrested that and clues to the upcoming attack should have been pieced together from his activities Another thing we know and we know why we got no clues from Moussaoui - the wall built by the Clinton administration. > The wall is only used as an excuse for why people like junior didn't do their job. If we followed all of the rules then why did we allow innocent prisoners to be tortured to death in Iraq.
