Post #297 9/04: A Day Of Infamy

President George W. Bush's Cabinet held its first meeting on the threat of Al-Qaeda on September 04, 2001. One week later, Bush got the word of the 9/11 attacks, stared like a deer caught in the headlights and pondered 'who could have done this?' Really? No idea, huh?

The CIA had been tracking Bin Laden for five years, and Bush had received 40 Presidential Daily Briefings concerning Bin Laden, and Bush was taken by surprise. [rolleyes]

I do not blame Bush for not connecting the dots; I do blame Bush for ignoring the dots. He did NOTHING -- no warnings, no follow-up questions. That's why I say, George W. Bush was derelict in his duty -- he willing refused to perform his duties of keeping Americans safe -- and should have been impeached.

I realize "impeachment" is a political trial, and, maybe, the outcome would have been to have left him in office -- a la Clinton. But, if his incompetence had of been laid out in a trial, maybe, we would not still be in Afghanistan and Iraq. * sigh *
