Having spent many proud years serving my country in an Intelligence capacity, I can only tell you that I saw intell brieifings, reports, anaylsis's, summaries, etc on a daily basis, that had any number of possible attacks against us in them. We did what we could to ensure no one would be attacked, but when your enemy (Islamists, not other Americans) can chose the time, place, and method of attack all you can do is react, not act. I would have NEVER, EVER let someone order me to let an attack occur due to an order of some kind. I know there are millions more in the military and FBI, CIA, etc just like me.
With all due respect, you know not of what you speak. Please think about these things I've said to you. I've been there and done it. It is a horrible, evil world out there with bad people who want us to die and suffer. Some are very smart and cunning. All we can do is band together with strong resolve and determination to oppose them.
If I have any criticism of the Bush administration it woul be post, not pre 9/11. We need to deport terror-supporting Islamists now.
