You Bush apologists are pathetic. The government knew that planes could be used in a ramming attack, and in August even knew that the WTC was a target. All Bush and the FAA had to do was change the official policy of non-resistance in the event of a hijacking. But I guess that's too much to ask

Clinton was also well aware that WTC was a "High Profile Target" during/after the first attack and did nothing in reguard to aircraft. WTC 9-11 event is Clinton's Legacy...

wQuay,

That was known back in early 1990s, actually we knew planes could be used back as bombs in 1940s.

I would hardly call classy and a few others in this thread a bush apologist.

Also, if the 19 men were caught before 9/11 then thousands of people would not have lost their jobs :|

And the same preventative measures would have been in place as they are now (as if that was going to help)

You convinently forgot to mention that even before 9-11 bin Laden was a considered a terrorist and was on the FBI's wanted list.


Knowing that, if they had solid evidence, they would have linked them to bin Laden and then convicted them with little problem.

Clinton had three distinct opprtunities to nab binladen during his/her watch (which clinton was pres?) but failed his/her challenge. Pre-occupied with his/her social schedule...among other things.

After Pearl Harbour, there was an independent inquiry as to why it happened. Dubyah should call one for 9/11, hell, he should have had one a long time ago.
