When you "review" at least get it right.
I never brought up the National Security Council you did. Those are not the appointments I was referring to but the lower level grunts actually doing the dirty work. The Terrorist fighting team was far more than that and was not completely confirmed until midsummer.
And any assumption that what was known in the 90s was known during 01 is just silly. Particularly if you consider WHO was in charge during the 90s. Perhaps you are under the impression that they were patriots concerned about the nation.
was not allowed to put his National Security team in place
If that's not the National Security Council, but instead the "lower level grunts who do the dirty work", why don't you point out a few specific positions that were delayed, how long they were delayed, how you know what impact that had, etc. I have presented facts. You've presented none.
