Big time. The thing that most annoyed me about the Commissions "grading" a couple years ago, was how they just made all these recommendations but never had ANY KIND of feasability studies to see how the government could most effectively and quickly do it, or how much it would cost, or anything. Just made a bunch of pie in the sky recommendations and didn't say how to do it, or how to pay for it, just "here President Bush, do these things, don't ask us how, or what it will cost or how to pay for it, just do it, or we'll give you an 'F' on your report card and the American people will be upset at you for not doing what we said". That is so arrogant and so typical of liberals. Say what they think should be done but not how or anything. Any moron can say what they think should be done, but it takes some intellect to decide HOW qand have a plan to get from here to there. VERY annoying.

As much as the media and liberal Democrats whine and moan like old woman about the spending for the war and the deficit and the tax cuts reducing revenue back then (before record revenues started coming in because of the tax cuts) can you imagine what they'd of done to Bush in the press if he's of immediately put to Congress and expected them to pass $600 or more BILLION in spending to put into place 100% of the 9-11 commission findings? That would have tripled the deficit. I can only imagine how they'd of skewered him.

That little closing at the end of "Pathway" p****d me off too. "If our recommendations aren't followed, and there's another attack, what excuses will there be then?" Arrogant little turds. The so called conservatives on the Commission did a p**s poor job of not allowing the liberals on the commission not control the tenor of their language. If the people on the commission were such genius's, why weren't any of them warning about 9-11 before it happened I wonder? Ledgends in their own minds just like Richard Clarke.

I wouldn't fault the 9/11 Commission for 9/11. That fault lays at the feet of the intelligence community under Clinton for failing to heed any red flags that popped up along the way. The way I saw Clarke portrayed, he basically appeared to me like he couldn't even be a shift manager at McDonald's without botching something up. Even with all that editing ABC did, Clarke still looked like a buffoon.

Funny, I didn't get that impression from them posting the report card stuff. My initial 'gut' reaction was OMG, but then as the catagories were posted, my thoughts turned to how the democrats have blocked the implementation of the recommendations and how the MSM has essentially obstructed Americans from understanding the 'why' of the needed changes.

The very recommendations being demanded are also being called potential 'rights violations'by the democrats and MSM. Talk about a Wall?
