So Bush ignored the message "Bin Laden determined to attack", Does it really matter??

33. If they paid more attention, maybe they could have put Norad & the FAA on high alert.

It's more than doing their job - it's doing their job with eyes and ears wide opened.

Argue that Norad/FAA should have done that all along - but they didn't, did they?

The things that were done after 9/11 to protect us should have been done before 9/11.
Especially when it came to air traffic control.


Another thing that should have been done was to go after OBL when Bill Clinton was warning about them - but Newt Gingrich and his Republican - led Congress was too busy impeaching the President for a blow job. And when Bill Clinton tried to send the alarm, they laughed at him and called it Wag the Dog, that he was trying to set up a war to distract from his blow job.
Remember that? I do. I was so pissed. And still am.
And to top that off - the Clinton administration tried to warn the incoming Bush administration about Al Qaeda stepping up to attack us... and that too was ignored.

So you tell me? In the grand scheme of things, do you really think nothing could have been done?

9/11 happened because people across the board were ignoring all the warning signs when they should have been using all their energy to being pro-active.

Would 9/11 never happened if they did all they could? That question will never be answered because they didn't.
