No it is not.
You would be surprised at how effective THE TRUTH can be. Condi Rice has enough confidence to admit when she does not know something. Had she appeared to know everything, then some might ask how she could miss 911.
Yes it is. The correct answer is that the Clinton Administration and Congress erred in not declaring war on Al Qa'ida and in responding disproportionaltely to attacks on US interests.
No attack on America can ever go unanswered. Swatting flies in not an excuse for inaction.
