My personal feeling is that the President missed a window of opportunity to go after the Clinton-appointed FBI and CIA directors who were still in office on September 11, and demand an investigation then, and pin the blame on the Clinton Administration for letting Osama bin Laden run loose for eight years after attempting to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993.

Instead, Bush stated that he had full confidence in these men and their agencies, and thereby made himself responsible for their incompetencies.

The hypocrisy of the Democrats in attacking Bush over what is basically a Clinton national security policy failure is incredible, however, and so is the duplicity of the liberal media in letting them get away with this.

I predict this will die down like the Enron flap will, as soon as the public is educated by conservative media in the fact that the Clinton Administration's fingerprints are all over this failure.

If the Democrats were thinking, they'd have saved this one for the last week in November, which is usually when they drop their 'bombshell' (eg, the Bush DUI charge) so that it creates maximum hysteria and the shock value doesn't die down before the election.

I suspect Democratic contributions are way down, and hence the Democrats are frantic to reduce Bush's poll numbers this early before the election.

I do believe he missed a window of opportunity as well. But it is not too late. He can order this pronto and clean it up . AFTER 9/11 SCREW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and RED TAPE.

Before something else (equal to or worse) than 9/11 happens I wish to God it would all get cleaned up.Lawsuits my arse. We are talking national security.

And I hope the terrorists that are in our country right now running the political correctness gambit of profiling; with 'their religion' get THEIR arses kicked out of our country PRONTO.
