"The "stuff" in the PDB that Bush ignored was totally inactionable and everyone knows it." Really? You believe there's NOTHING the President of the United States could have done on learning that a specific terrorist group, that had attacked us multiple times before, was hell-bent on attacking America on it's own soil? Not a THING? Not even call a meeting, ask the FBI, CIA, and all relevant agencies to put aside internecine squabbles and co-ordinate? All the information was OUT there, agents in the FBI had it. 9/11 could have been prevented. You know, Bush got that PDB when he was in Crawford. I think he came back from a two hour bike ride, looked at the pile of papers he was 'sposed to read, told Condi he'd read them and took a nap.

You have defended Clinton's repeated failures to get bin Laden but then point to this tidbit of information that was basically useless as some kind of Bush failure? At least two former WH officials claim that Bush had significant warning; the Germans concur, claiming that they made repeated warnings to the Bush administration. When this news first came out, many of us were shocked.....now we know it was just more of the incompetency we grown to expect from this WH.....the one you elected into office twice.
