-WHY WEREN'T WARNINGS ISSUED TO THOSE ENTRUSTED TO PROTECT OUR FLIGHT SECURITY?
-ISN'T LEADERSHIP ABOUT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY, ANTICIPATING THE UNFATHOMABLE, HEEDING WARNINGS AND FIRMLY ACTING UPON THEM?
-WHEN THE PRESIDENT RECEIVED A MEMO THAT HIJACKINGS OF AMERICAN PLANES MIGHT OCCUR, SHOULDN'T HE HAVE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN ACTION?
I DO BELIEVE THAT EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN THAT TRULY CARES ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, AND LEARNS THE FACTS, WOULD HAVE TO SERIOUSLY ASK THESE QUESTIONS ... AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN NOVEMBER!
Ironic that the Party that blocked all security initiatives, and continues to do so, should be complaining about this. They must have given up on the loose cannon, cowboy schtick.
Read it and weep.
Very ironic indeed. BEFORE 9/11 NO ONE connected the dots and those claiming they could have in hindsight are hind ends.
On the other hand, when you consider actions AFTER 9/11, it is plain that one side clearly had a plan to prevent further attacks and the other side couldn't yet be bothered...
- Blocking the Patriot Act which sought to overcome the very intelligence-sharing failures they love to selectively cite.
- Opposing racial profiling of airline passengers even though there is a very narrow demographic of historical attackers.
- Opposing arming of pilots which would have surely given the pilots an edge over their box cutter-wielding attackers.
- Blocking judicial nominees while the country is in a "judicial crisis" as recognized by both political parties.
- Obstructing the work of the President and the executive branch while we are at war.
- Opposing funding ongoing operations in Iraq.
- AND GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMIES AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
