COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF fails to protect his people, Congressional hearings on the way

This is a thinly veiled disguise. That you hold no specific individual or party responsible for the 'general level for all terrorism' is not the same as holding one member responsible solely on the basis that he is a member of the other party. You say you don't blame one person, but who's reference is in the subject heading?
What makes me sick and sad is the feeling that some radical liberals would rather have what happened at WTC WITH a culpable member of another party to weather the storm of blame than to not have had the occurrence at all. Whether this is true or not, or whether I believe that is almost immaterial. It is simply an observation based on what I have seen. This is supported by the fact that general state of terrorism is somehow an "everyone in Washington is to blame" situation yet one situation (or series of situations) should fall on the shoulders of one man of another party. This is also supported by the bringing up of the former President's close scrutiny in a manner that suggests retaliation.
The Bush administration's hands are tied in this matter. If Congress does dive deeply into this, and everything is made public, then we will have mass hysteria on our hands. I'm sure that the government is presented with threats EVERY DAY. These might range from weapons of mass destruction, to suicide bombings, to anthrax, to chemical warfare. The government must sift through these and determine which ones pose an ACTUAL threat, and which ones to give credibility to.
If we force the Bush administration to tell us what they know, we might hear things that we will never wish we had. Americans would simply hole up in their homes if they were privy to all the threats that the government receives and the FBI warns of.

let me start out by saying, democrats are fucking hypocrites.
democrats bitch and moan that bush didnt do anything to protect it's people, when in fact bush did. in july, 2001, there was a warning that osama bin laden was prepared to wage attacks on american military forces in the middle east very soon, so bush put the military in the middle east on the highest state of alert. skip forward a few weeks to sept 7th. there was very credible evidence that the embassy in japan was going to hit with a terrorist attack, and they too were put on the highest alert. but i dont recall clinton doing anything in 1998 when CIA agents went to time magazine to tell them an attack on washington dc and nyc were going to happen.
you guys bitch and moan saying bush should have said this or done that and warned the american public about an attack that no one know how/what/where/when it would happen. you say the american people need to know such things, but when tom ridge makes warnings to the public, the democrats get up on their soapbox and piss and moan about how they bush administration is only scaring the general public.
you people say we should have followed up on the warnings from the fbi memo's but can you imagine if we did. what would the democrats be saying if we rounded up all of the middle eastern men in flight schools? there would be public outcry and people calling bush a racist and a bigot. you people made the country so god damn pc, that even when people's lives are at risk, it is still wrong to do something about it. when you go to airports, you cant have arab men and women being searched, because they would be racist, so instead we have old ladies having their bags searched and having her shoes tested for explosives. give me a fucking break.
maybe if you people werent so god damn hypocrital and full of shit, your arguments would have more weight.

Mabey. But did the report completed by the FBI regional feild agent identify by name every single 'suspicious' middle eastern man enrolled in flight classes in Arizona , or do you think the report named a few suspicious persons and negleted to identify other persons? We can never be sure.
Either way, if the FBI had gotten off its ass and investigated reports several suspicous middle eastern men were enrolled in flight schools in Arizona, they may have discovered Hani Hanjour was one of them......
"(CBS) Months before Hani Hanjour is believed to have flown an American Airlines jet into the Pentagon, managers at an Arizona flight school reported him at least five times to the FAA, reports CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales. "

Its called following leads. And your government and law enforcement agencies failed miserably at it.
Senator: U.S. didn't connect 'dots' before 9/11

I dont see how any blame could be placed on him for the direct attacks, however if he knew something was up, he definately should have beefed security and warned us. In that light, he's at major fault.
