Blame Clinton for it. I don't understand that. Clinton did more for Anti-terrorism than anyone before him and only Bush surpasses him, but none of that started until after 9/11.
Clinton gave record amounts of money to the CIA and FBI for anti-terrorism. Bush cut it when he got in office.
Clinton created a battle plan to take the war to al Qaeda and gave it and the support staff to Bush to take it to the next level, and Bush shelved it.
Bush opposed the Hart/Lieberman Homeland Security bill... that was until 9/11 then he co-opted it as his own.
