Thanks for the comprehensive post Mia. It would be useful if the committee asked the clinton stooges what immediate actions the clinton administration had implemented as it was warning the incoming Bush administration. If, as they claim, the Toon's crowd recognized the immediate threat of Al Quaida, they should have been scrambling to place the United States in a prepared state of alert during and after the transistion.
If they didn't do anything, and they only warned the Bush advisors; well, actions speak louder than words. I would have dismissed their warnings if they could produce no evidence that they were preparing to repel or thwart any perceived threat.
The sole purpose of all the "investigations" and the "intelligence failures" stories is to find out where they can blame President Bush for the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and to discredit the Iraq Operation.
The democrats would prefer that the United States be totally devastated rather that a Republican President. When a democrat is elected President again, they will take steps to ensure that never again is a Republican elected President.
