Your intell maybe farther better than mine.
If I recall, at that time the CIA and FBI were not allowed to share info due to some Clinton admin edict. I assume that is the Gorelick wall you are referring to. I couldn’t remember the name.
As I recall, emotions were very high after 9/11. A lot of non-muslim(Indian for example) were being targeted. I have always been of the opinion that he said the “religion of peace” thing was to tamp down violence in the country after a devastating attack when a lot of people were looking for vengence. I could sure be wrong.
Much like he said “go out and shop”. IMHO, that was to keep our economy from falling into the dump. And, miraculosly, it didn’t (not right then, anyway.)
GWB did a lot wrong..but I shudder to think that we could have had Gore or Kerry at the helm. Or God forbid, Obarry at the helm in a similar crisis.
Ditto.
