>>" But the reality is that from the top down there was a failure to understand we were at war. There were those -- like John O'Neil, who clearly knew it, but there were others like Bill Clinton and Sandy Berger who just didn't understand the threat. "<< Oh yeah and then there was the guy who when briefed that bin Ladin was about to attack us told the briefer that it was ok now that he "had covered his ass". And then this silly clown continued on his vacation preparing his stem cell speech to set back by eight years that medical science to benefit mankind. Then he "worked" on preparing for his story telling to a bunch of Florida kids. Boy, we were "lucky" to have that clown leading us.
