Where's the Intelligence Failure?

[AlexHamilton]

Here is a new article I have written about how Bush and his administration failed us all with its flawed pre-911 "lack of curiosity". Please help me call the president and his cronies to task on this issue.


***Excerpt from the full article***
"Simply returning to Washington to “shake the intelligence trees” would have at least left open the possibility of thwarting this plot at the last moment. Isn’t that the kind of thing a real president does? Instead Mr. Bush decided to remain in Crawford, and nobody has called him on it.

I am calling the president on it right here, right now.


This is hubris and arrogance at its worst. Thousands of people in the WTC were killed, and our foreign policy hijacked because of it. It is time for us all to demand more from our leaders.

Of course, it is much easier to sleep at night believing that the President will simply walk into a telephone booth and emerge in bright red superhero spandex to sort out the mess he has created. This is not the case America. The President has assumed the form of a superhero only to project the image, not to actually deal with the real threats confronting us today. When the pressure has been on, the information has been there, and the president has failed us all. He failed us by not informing the public so that every American could have been looking out for the terrorists. He failed by not having the vision, or the attention span to face down the terrorist threat, and eventual attack, in the summer of 2001. Most importantly of all, he has failed to come clean with the public, and has grotesquely even attempted to benefit from what was the failed pre 9-11 terrorism policy of his own administration. It is time for all of us to dispel the image of George W. Bush as a superhero sent by God to save us all, and realize that he is in fact a president who has failed us all time and time again."
