Something that surprised me was that Bush mentioned "homeland security" all throughout his campaign, 2 years at least before the attacks.

Why is this surprising? His father is a statist,and so is he.

He had either known of the Clinton Plan and was going to take it from Gore as an issue, or simply thinks along the very same lines as Clinton.

BINGO! Notice how he had this new agency all mapped-out and ready to roll right after 9-11? It's because this is how he thinks,and he was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to propose it.

Bingo indeed. - Amazing how these opportunities just pop up, isn't it.
- Almost Machiavellian if one were so disposed. - But we know better. [There is no man behind that curtain. - Trust me.]
