The FAA Had 52 Warnings Before 9/11!

Bump! Whose fault is it again?

There is no doubt whatsoever that the Bush administration didn't heed warnings from the previous one about the danger of Al Queda. It's chronicled in Bob Woodward's book how dismissive Rumsfeld was to Cohen regarding Al Queda, even when Cohen told him it was America's gravest danger.

That said, even IF the Bush administration had tried to change airline security before 9/11...SOCIETY would not have let them.

Even IF the Bush administraion had focused our military on invading Afghanistan...NO ONE IN AMERICA would have let them do it.

Simply put...there was ZERO political mandate to do anything to confront terrorism and Al Queda(aka: Islamic extremism) in this country before 9/11.

Now...THAT said...it IS disturbing that the Bush administration was so dismissive of a decade's worth of analysis on Al Queda just because they feared aligning themselves with anything regarding Clitnon/Def Sec. Cohen and his staff.
And it is precisely why I have very little confidence in this administration to protect US citizens from Islamic extremism/Al Queda.
