so much about the 911 report is that it is a slap in the face of Clinton when it says that both Bush and Clinton did not understand the seriousness of the threat. WTF? You can say that Clinton and his team made mistakes, but please dont tell me that he did not understand the seriousness of the threat. It is quite clear from the testimony at the 911 hearings (including Richard Clarke's testimony) and from others talking outside of the hearings that worked in the government that Clinton was obsessesed with the threat....they held meeting after meeting each week with all cabinet members....they "shook the trees" as Clarke said which helped stop a terrorist attack at the end of 1999, and many other attacks during that time. It is like the commission just ignored all of that. How can the commission say that both Bush and Clinton did not take it serious when Clinton did and Bush goes on a vacation and holds no cabinet level meetings to "shake the trees" after getting a PDB that says, Bin Laden Determined to Attack in the United States. Very sad that we did not get an objective finding of the happenings of 911.
