From inauguration day to "zero hour": George Bush in the months before 9/11
With all this chatter about what Clinton did and did not do regarding the threat from al-Qaeda, Countdown with Keith Olbermann did a comprehensive report on the warnings the Bush Administration was receiving about the threat from global jihadists. (To view the report, visit Countdown's website and then click "Watch Video" under "Leading up to 9/11." The report is about 4 minutes into the segment.) Meanwhile, Bush was worried about Star Wars, aka the missile defense system, and Wolfowitz was actually arguing that the greatest threat from terrorism was from Iraq. From Bill Clinton to Sandy Berger to Richard Clarke to Senator Carl Levin to Senator Diane Feinsteinn, the bells were ringing all around President Bush, but he and his administration couldn't be bothered.Why does this matter now? It matters because it shows that we cannot trust the judgment of George Bush and his party with national security.

What objective data do we have to suggest that the Bush administration was interested in terrorism or 9/11? They're clearly weren't any speeches that suggested in this was the focus of the administration. Let's look on the other side of the coin then. There of course is Richard Clarke's book, against all enemies. There is also the book called the Price of Loyalty which is about Paul O'Neill's time in the Bush cabinet as Secretary of the treasury. Both of these books a support Clinton's version of the story.

Exactly, ec. They weren't interested.
