List Bush's failures on terrorism here (both before and after 9/11)

[Ignacio Upton]

Here's what I've come up with:

Letting Bin Laden away at Tora Bora

Drug cartels and warlords are in charge in Afghanistan

Failing to look at the Hart-Rudmann Report

Iraq has become a magnet for Al Qaida recruitment and distracted us from the broader War on Terrorism

And let's not forget that Bush cut funding for explosives detection at airports:

And neither should we forget the Dubai Ports World deal

Bush dragged his feet on the USS Cole investigation

Bush also flip flopped on creating the 9/11 Commission, tried to prevent Condi from testifying, and did not testify under oath

Able Danger - Remember the bureaucratic bullshit and stifling of the unit's job

Remember how tried to cut counter-terrorism funding both pre-9/11 AND post-9/11:

And let's not forget the less than steller grades that the 9/11 Commission gave the Bush Administration:

...Or how Homeland Security cut funding for NYC and DC, while at the same time gave money to a freakin' PETTING ZOO?

3. I usually think first of the August memo about bin Laden attacking

the USA and of Bush not only continuing his vacation, but spending any work time on opposing stem cell research.
I also abhor the fact that Bush did not warn the airlines, which instead of protecting themselves used the time-honored philosophy of doing as the terrorists demanded.
I also cannot understand why the Air Force did not intercept any planes.
I do not know why a president would read a story about a pet goat, albeit upside down during an attack on our country.
I also think of Ashcraft refusing to fly commercial in the summer of 2001.
I think of Richard Clarke begging the Bushites to have a meeting on al Queda and being transferred.
I think of the warning of the FBI in several states, which were purposefully ignored by D.C.
I think of how the whistleblowers were muted by use of seldom used or outdated laws.
I think of Bush refusing to let the Secretary let NYC residents know that the pollution was dangerous in the city and that they should be wary of a return to work. Heaven forbid that the stock market be off work another day.
I think of the great Americans who gave up salary and health to help the citizens of New York City at the rubble.
I think of Bill and Hillary being there to support the people and of the Stump coming and creating a photo op for himself and his minions to use to ruin our country.
This is only my short list; I can add many more.

4. His Agendas are arguably treasonous ,is he trying to ruin our economy?What

or is it a by-product of not having a clue?

5. Rejecting Afghanistan's offer to turn of bin Laden to a neutral nation.

It's never been about bin Laden to them.

6. Leaking the ID of covert CIA agents?
