It's funny how CAD tries to defend his party, he types "yap yap yap" and thinks that it somehow passes off for an actual response. What a moron.

Yes, but you do have to admit, though, that he does achieve a certain sense of intellighence and credibility when he compares his reflection to me by mentioning my mirror, a sort of double reflection of glory. Some might call it yap and mirrors, but I prefer cadidicy.

WHY then did the Bush administration do NOTHING when the intelligence community picked up lots of chatter from Al Quaeda about attacking America several months later?

I have some spare time on my hands.

How would one go about researching what the CIA did on any matter
between the time Bush took office and 9/11?

You can only assume the administration did nothing.

The implosion of a radical society of fundamentalists would take decades,
not months.

The clinton administration spent 8 years cutting the authority and scope of the CIA. Post 9/11, they got much of their operating lattitude restored. So, it's a comedy of errors over an extended period of time that allowed it to happen. Let's be sure it doesn't happen again.
