So, what part of our military was lacking? I understand the FBI was tracking many of the hijackers--they just didn't pick them up. Funding levels were adequate so no need to spend billions more or invent a new bureauacracy.
The government was in charge of airline safety and they failed us miserably. Adding more government is not the conservative answer.
Our security is not at risk as a nation, we are vulnerable to terrorist attacks. I don't see how 14 airbases in Iraq will help prevent airline hijackings here at home.
If our military is rooting these rat types out of their nests on foreign soil, how is that not INFINITELY better than waiting for these monsters to respond to another attack on U.S. soil?
Better to kill a disease in it’s infancy with a little antiseptic, bacteriocidal handwashing as opposed to letting it take over 90% of the body before introducing anti-biotics!
Being a Dr. you’d think he’d be able to appreciate such a comparison!
If these deranged murderers are busy with their jihad on their own home soil, it’s only obvious to rational people
that they’ll have less time and resources and bodies to attack on OUR soil!
I think it’s insane to wait for something like what the Chechnyens did to Russian children attacking them in their school and murdering them.
If something happened like that here, you’d quickly know what a tragic threat to our security as a nation would truly look like! Everything from the economy to potential blowback against muslims here would cause utter chaos!
Let's not forget Able Danger. The DIA knew all about Atta and his buds, but ridiculous DC groupthink and the logic of lawyers prevented any action from being taken.
