#1 Can you imagine what today's MSM would have reported about Iwo Jima? If they thought Abu Ghraib was big stuff, their knickers would have twisted right off reading the Marines' after action reports.

#3 "25 days before the last Presidential election when Bush said: âI hope that we can gather enough intelligence to figure out who did the act [to kill 17 Americanâs on the USS Cole] and take the necessary action. There must be a consequence.â (Page 201..911 Report)." Yet, when we found out who was responsible for the USS Cole this President had a failure of leadership. One prior Clinton administration holdover urged âThe fact that the USS Cole was attacked during the last Administration does not absolve us of responding from the attack.â Report 212. But "Exchanges with the President, between the President and Tenet [CIA Director] and between herself {Condilezza Rice] and Powell and Rumsfield âhad produced a consensus that âtit-for-tatâ responses were likely to be counterproductive.â And so my friendsâ¦al Qaeda was permitted to attack our Country on 9-11. without interference from the Bush Administration
