What exactly would you have done if someone plunked a report on your desk saying that terrorists someday might try to:
Hijack a train, plane, ship, truck or some other vehicle
Might try to poison a water supply, or might try to blow up a dam
Might try to disperse some chemical or biological weapon at some public event
Might try to blow up the power grid or power stations
Might try to attack/blow up/poison or otherwise attack Congress, the WH, or the Pentagon, or some other agency building.
It's just months into your first year on the job, and you're still hiring agency heads and creating policy. You have the entire military under your command, with numerous activities going on around the world (some of which are covert). You're dealing with a recession, budgets, and other presidential duties... treaties, meetings with world leaders on all sorts of topics.
Sounds like Bush 43 is actually a victim here.
LOL. Your line of defense is to point out how weak and ineffectual he was?
His daddy ran the CIA. I am pretty sure he had some connected people in high places on day one (cough Cheney cough).
