“On the 11th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, there is mounting evidence that the Bush administration received more intelligence warnings than previously known prior to the Sept. 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000.”

Too many people reported they had passed on information which was directly relevant to this attack in the year, months, days and hours before it happened.

Bush had cut back the counter-terrorism budget, and Rice said, “Who would have thought.”

And they still got paid.

It was Clinton who tried to kill OBL.  I, of course, had my head up my ass and blistered him for it, I was wrong.  Those aren’t words you will hear from the folks defending Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice.  Among other people who didn’t do their jobs and enabled the WTC disaster.
