No way anyone could have done anything about stopping 9/11

The Bush team did not take terror threats seriously as an issue, and for this history dealt them and us disaster.

My comment was about the specific August report.

Certainly, Bush should've at least banged his fist on the desk and told people to make this a high priority. He clearly did not, nor had an interest in it.

I do think that Bush and Cheney entered the White House on a mission to do things Cheney had always wanted to do, and the real world of things like terrorism were not part of the agenda at the time. What was on the agenda?

As I recall, task number one was getting the Reagan presidential files out of the public domain. No, that was number two.

Number one was spreading lies about how the Clinton team had vandalized the White House, remember?

Little did we know that these actions told us everything we'd need to know about Bush.
