Greetings Democracy-loving Comrades,
Yes, the Bush Administration ignored the warnings and lied about it before the (stacked) commission.
But even more -- if they were taken by surprise by 911, why did they know to go after Saddam and bin Laden in their verbal attacks immediately?? Doesn't anyone besided Moslem Fundamentalists resent captialism, imperialism, military hegemonism etc.? -- anyone who can get their hands on such exotic weaponry as boxcutters, that is.
Say you are Wolfowitz, assistant Secretary of Defense, who tells the figurehead Sec. of Defense what to do and say etc. (on the REAL organization chart of power)
why if the Pentagon was just hit that very day -- would you focus on getting Saddam Heussein who has not been connected with any terrorism of this type -- or would you want real fine massive detective work to find the specific perpetrators, the people who last shook the hand (or whatever sign of solidarity was used) with the hijack terrorists etc. But this is exactly what no one in the administration showed any interest in doing -- instead of a specific investigation, there was a generalized response against terror in general -- not even knowing (since they say they didn't have a clue the day before) excactly who was behind the attack. And on top of THIS we have the fighting of an investigation, the appointment of Kissinger (who was working with WOlfowitz, Perle, Gingrich at the Pentagon right up to Sept. 11, 01 !!!) to be head the commission!!!!
Someone offered me a plane ticket to Toranto, but my dad has had a bladder removed (he was great before the operation) and now doesn't like the new plumbing and is refusing to eat or get out of bed etc. even as my eldest daughter is about to be married next month.
Instead of going, I prepared this, which 911 index has edited and improved. I hope you will use it:

I plan to retire from politics as soon as Kerry is elected and I can breath easy, don't you?
