And on a more serrious note......
On February 15, 2001, a commission led by former senators Gary Hart and Warren Rudman issued a report on national security. The Hart-Rudman report warned that "mass-casualty terrorism directed against the U.S. homeland was of serious and growing concern'' and said that America was woefully unprepared for a "catastrophic'' domestic terrorist attack and urged the creation of a new federal agency: "A National Homeland Security Agency with responsibility for planning, coordinating, and integrating various U.S. government activities involved in homeland security that would include the Customs Service, the Border Patrol, the Coast Guard, and more than a dozen other government departments and agencies.
The newly formed National Homeland Security Agency scheduled it's first meeting for September 4th.
On July 10th, Phoenix FBI agent, Kenneth Williams, sent a memo to headquarters regarding concerns over some Middle Eastern students at an Arizona flight school. Al Qaeda operatives, Williams suggested, might be trying to infiltrate the U.S. civil aviation system. He urged FBI Headquarters to contact the other intelligence agencies to see if they had information relevant to his suspicions.
On August 3rd, President Bush left Washington and went to his ranch in Crawford, Texas for the longest presidential vacation in thirty-two years. Overall, President Bush, spent 42 percent of his first seven months in office either at Camp David, at the Bush compound in Kennebunkport, or at his Texas ranch.
On August 6th, CIA Director Tenet interrupted the president's vacation to delivered a report entitled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.'' The report warned that al Qaeda might be planning to hijack airplanes.
On August 7th, President Bush went golfing.
On August 16, the INS arrested Zacharias Moussaoui, a flight school student who seemed to have little interest in learning to take off or land a plane. The arresting agent wrote that Moussaoui seemed like "the type of person who could fly something into the World Trade Center." Trying to pique the interest of FBI Headquarters in Washington, a Minneapolis FBI agent wrote that a 747 loaded with fuel could be used as a weapon. lf this information had been shared and analyzed, for example by a newly founded Homeland Security Agency, maybe someone would have decided that this issue needed immediate attention. But, probably not.
On August 25, still on the ranch, President Bush discussed with reporters the differences between his two dogs and his plans to go fly-fishing that afternoon.
On September 10, FBI Director, Pickard, received notification from Attorney General, John Ashcroft, that his request (inspired in part by the August 16th arrest) for additional funds from the Justice Department had been denied (this money was to hire new field agents, translators, and intelligence analysts to improve the FBI's capacity to detect foreign terror threats). In fact, Ashcroft sent his Justice Department budget request to President Bush that day, but none of the 68 programs which proposed spending increases dealt with terrorism. Nor did Ashcroft's memo regarding his top 7 priorities so much as mention terrorism.
[B}On September 11th, well...you know what happened.
Four years later, we still have troops in Iraq, we've sent our government into a multi-trillion dollar deficit fighting in Iraq, we've captured Saddam Hussein...wait, what about Osama Bin Laden?
9/11 We will never forget!!
