Remember, they've only released two pages of this memo so far. There is supposedly more.
You Republicans love to say... what could Bush have done after reading this memo... There was no actionable information... it was historical data...
I've heard enough of it.
The answer to what could he have done... ANYTHING. Because he was given this memo, probably didn't even read it, and then did NOTHING.
We knew from the Clinton administration that terror was going to be a problem. Read Thomas Friedman's book, 'The Lexus and the Olive Tree'. In it he talks about what a HUGE threat Osama Bin Laden is. If Friedman knew this, then why didn't the president? Why didn't they have a plan?
The Democrats had a plan. The Homeland Security bill, was already being kicked around by Senate Democrats well before Bush took office. Republicans in Congress ignored it, until 9/11 happened.
There is no spreading of blame. This falls squarely on the shoulders of Bush and his administration.
Maybe I could put forward this question to those of you who would argue me.
Can you imagine a situation where the Bush administration was wrong about something?
