- Shelved the Hart-Rudman report.
- Appointed new anti-terrorism task force under Dick Cheney. Group did not even meet before 9/11.
- Called for cuts in anti-terrorism efforts by the Department of Defense.
- Gave no priority to anti-terrorism efforts by Justice Department.
- Ignored warnings from Sandy Berger, Louis Freeh, George Tennant, Paul Bremer, and Richard Clarke about the urgency of terrorist threats.
- Halted Predator drone tracking of Osama bin Laden.
- Did nothing in wake of August 6 C.I.A. report to president saying Al Qaeda attack by hijack of an airliner almost certain.
- Bush - knowing about the terrorists' plans to attack in America, warned that terrorists were in flight schools in the US - took a four week vacation.
- By failing to order any coordination of intelligence data, missed opportunity to stop the 9/11 plot as Clinton-Gore had stopped the millennium plots.
On 9/11
- our Air National Defense was directed to stand down.
- the two fighter jets that were scrambled flew out to sea, away from Washington and New York and the attacking air liners.
- After one of four airliners had crashed into the World Trade Center and 3 more airliners were still heading toward critical targets, the President continued to read "My Pet Goat" to third graders, claiming that he didn't want to scare them, and then had them gather around for his press conference to hear the dreadful news strait from the horse's mouth.
The attacks on 9/11 took place during Bush’s watch for a reason. The took place because…they could.
Those are just my thoughts on the subject. But I doubt they really matter to the Bush coolaide drinkers. LOL
