Remember this? …but Iraq is off the radar screen "Well, the first eight months of the administration was focused almost entirely on missile defense. The administration was not as focused on terrorism. Ironically, it was the State Department and the CIA that were much more sensitive. The State Department puts out the terrorism list; the CIA accumulates the intelligence. And I think there was a really profound concern. … The Bush administration didn't get what was happening. Ironically, a Republican administration, given what happened when President Bush's father was vice president, all of this playing out in Lebanon, it didn't understand that the attacks that we had seen in the 1990s were only the beginning. I didn't think that the Bush administration was inevitably going to attack Saddam Hussein during the first eight months of the administration. There weren't the grounds to do it." -- Robin Wright, diplomatic correspondent, The Washington Post, from her FRONTLINE interview pbs.org ========== The Bush administration is psychotic. Clinton told them, the FBI told them, Clarke told them that TERRORISM WAS JOB 1. Because it was Clinton's #1 priority and because the Bushies hated Clinton, it was buried. Psychotic, corrupt, incompetent. What a doozie of an administration.
