What about your Stand Down order on 9/11? How come no fighter pilots intercepted? Why didn't the Pentagon protect itself? These are the questions I wish someone would ask The Dick. The date for groundbreaking ceremony at the Pentagon, 09/11/41. Yes anniversaries are what we look for.

...this is about the audacity to question the Obama administration's readiness given all the documented warnings the Bush administration received in the spring and summer of 2001.

As Kurt Eichenwald wrote in the Sept. 10, 2012, New York Times:

While those documents are still not public, I have read excerpts from many of them, along with other recently declassified records, and come to an inescapable conclusion: the administration’s reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed. In other words, the Aug. 6 document, for all of the controversy it provoked, is not nearly as shocking as the briefs that came before it.

DLC nominee (one of the reasons she should not be, IMO), so he is discrediting current and most likely at this time Democrat president and contender.
Just like the Dems ran on "look what the last eight years got us, do you want a continuation", the GOP will do the same thing and yes, the GOP base is totally subservient and will believe up is down, etc. You could even say up is down on Monday to the GOP base, get full-throated roars of approval, and then declare up is sideways on Tuesday - and get the same, unhesitating, roar. So pointing out logical stuff doesn't really work. And the money-laden part of the GOP only really cares about less taxes and less regulation, they see war and strife as money-makers, not problems.

We are not his base, he knows dam right well it does not matter in the least what we think or point out. His base is watching Faux, not reading Democrat boards or whatever.

And when Dems look at broken campaign promises or statements and shrug and say hey, that was just campaign rhetoric - then the whole system just might be totally broken and we need to throw it out or fix it, and stop playing our assigned roles. Just think - if the Dems lose in 2016, or 2014, blame has conveniently already been assigned. Dirty hippie liberals and progressives. Don't stop doing what is being done, just assign blame. Orwell wins!!!!! So does Cheney.

(This all is based on a likely flawed premise that there are two sides opposing each other).

Of course he was ready. He went to all the meetings and listened to Richard Clark and Bill Clinton and then did nothing.
