As far as I am concerned the President on down have shown themselves to be dangerous to our continued survival. The question no one asks is now that they all know, why are they not using our military reserves to close the borders? Shipping out any suspected Muslim fanatics? Shipping out students from terrorist countries? Having volunteers check shipping containers, and having zero admittance to our country from anyone from the Middle East?
What if the Terrorists, understanding the temperment of the American citizen, understand that the kind of terrorist attacks used against Israel will not work here, what if their plan is for one large fell swoop? What if their plan is to make such an example of the destruction of the USofA that the rest of the world will cower in terror before them? What if on July 4th not just one city, or two cities, or ten cities, but all of our major cities go up in a mushroom cloud? Given the continued corruption in D.C. this is entirely possible, it really is, entirely possible. They are all equally guilty in my eyes and continue to be so.
The Congress for knowing every bit as much as the President and for many decades before he was elected to office and yet the party rolled, they did nothing about immigration, they did nothing about illegals, they did nothing about student visas, they did nothing about our borders, they did nothing period. For many decades the only entity being represented in D.C. is not the citizen, but corporations and special interests.
The fault with Bush is not "what did he know and when", but now that he does know why he has not signed EO's to offer the American citizen the protection that the Congress refuses to? We all know why, politics and corporate pandering. These lazy, decadent, fat cats, will eventually be the death of the nation, if not this time in this war, then in some war in the future.
If the next attack, when it comes, involves any middle-easterners admitted after 9-11, the President should be impeached. Unfortunately, there will be almost no one available to impeach him, since the Congress is just as guilty of not changing our insane immigration practices.
Not enough FBI resources were arrayed against Islamic terrorists pre-9-11 because their main focus was on "anti-government" right wingers, gun rights activists, constitutionalists, anti-abortion groups, and other non-PC elements. For whatever reason, Bush did not clean out the FBI house quickly enough of Clintonites and reset the priorities of this agency to apprehending the true enemies of this country.
The only thing that would have stopped 9-11 was greatly increased profiling of ME types at airports and much more restrictive issue of visas, student and otherwise, to people from the Islamic nations. To his great discredit, Bush has still not implemented ME profiling at airports and has kept an incompetent Democrat in charge of Transportation.
