#1 Further proof, as if we needed it, that we'll never win by playing defense. Only preemptive, unilateral, UN-disapproved offense will work.

#2 Few things chap my ass quite as much as gutless voyeurs grandstanding and criticizing the people at the point of the spear. Purely despicable and cowardly and craven turds. **flush**

#3 They can say that 1000 times but its only after these things happen then u realize ur shortcomings. The only way they cud hv avoided 9/11 was by having Nostradamas on their payroll.

#4 the best way we could have averted it was by racial profiling of course that would have not allowed Norm Mineta to feel morally superior

so 3,000 people died

Norm still feels morally superior

#5 I am an avid reader of this website. It is quite confusing to me when talking about WMD, the Bush admin is criticized for having misleading intelligence information and now people are saying the intelligence before 9-11 was valid and why didnt we act upon it. Very confusing to us little people. From what I have read about both sets of intelligence, the agencies involved were always cautious about reporting their information. What makes the 9-11 intelligence any more valid than the intelligence on WMD?

#6 Blame is like manure, you can spread it all over the place, it will only just create a stink. We should learn how we let it happen and plug the holes. To the demogogues who are trying to spread manure for political aims, BUY A FUCKIN FARM!

#7 Carolyn,

Very intelligent question. Next you need to stop thinking of yourself as one of the little people, unless you're a dwarf. You get one vote, like everybody else, you can see through the BS and you can think for yourself. You're one of the big dawgs now. Sic 'em.

#8 Bob Kerry has the best sound bites of the 9/11 commission. He basically told Albright that they screwed the pooch by trying to do the 'popular' thing and not doing the 'right' thing.

#9 Sarge,
What you say is interesting, but apparently didn't get reported as such in the Chicago Tribune... They must be selective in just reporting that Bush was too busy seething over Saddam that he missed the threat. I am ready to cancel my subscription.

Very, very good question.
