That memo wasn't the only warning out there. Much of what the outgoing administration and what Congress had sent as warnings to the new incoming administration ended up in the trash. No one even bothered to read those various suggestions and warnings. For instance the Rudman-Hart commission's report.

3. You had to be told that?
Apparently you did because you did NOTHING about it before 9/11

in fact you downgraded Richard Clarke and then ran him out of his position

Bush said "Okay you have covered your ass" after being read the one and a half page PDB (no one had ever heard of a 1 1/2 page PDB before that) and Dick did NOTHING

4. i was just reading about guy fawkes in my 1879 encyclopedia britannica.
somebody who knew about it sent a letter to a catholic lord to not go to the opening of the parliament. HE WARNED the king's chancellor as the king WAS ON VACATION, and a message sent to the king. THE KING IMMEDIATELY LEFT HIS VACATION TO RETURN TO LONDON BY HORSE NOT AIR FUCKING FORCE 1, IMMEDIATELY had the building searched. checked. and guy fawkes was eventually spotted and found suspicious and the plot discovered.

6. She'll never get it..

And the "deer crossing" sign didn't warn of the car that swerved into your lane. However, perhaps if you hadn't been using the rearview mirror to fix your makeup while talking on the cellphone, you might have been watching the road.
