"We were not prepared intellectually." We won't face facts. About who are true enemy is!

In a lot of ways, Osama did us a favor. He, like Hitler and Tojo, acted before he had an ultimate weapon. AQ has forever lost the one advantage it had: surprise. No one wants to imagine if they had used it for a more 'effective' attack.

"...Our enemy is not terrorism. Our enemy is violent, Islamic fundamentalism. None of our government institutions was set up with receptors, or even vocabulary, to deal with this."

Great evaluation!

Our enemy is our dependence on ME oil.

The Proof: Are conservatives willing to fight Muslims anywhere except the ME ?

IMHO, Saudis are suffering from the dictum "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".

The State Department had a guy on its list named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He was already under indictment for his role in planning the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. The State Department issued him a visa. I could go on and on.

Yes, do go "on and on"...

Especially with the part in which you indict Bubba Clinton for his 'Do-Nothing-About-Terrorism-Because-I'm-Busy-Getting-A-BJ' policy which encouraged 9/11.

BUMP for reality.

"Not any of the 19 officers lost their jobs at Immigration for allowing the 19 terrorists"

Strongly agree. Were any of them even mentioned in the 911 investigation report?
