What you seem to also forget is the chain of events that led up to 9-11 did not start the day Bush took office. 8 years of pandering and ineffective action towards terrorism by the Clinton administration told people like Bin Laden and Saddam that the US was a paper tiger, give em a bloody nose and they will run away. That is why Bin Laden figured he could attack the US with impunity and get a Clinton type response of treating it as a law enforcement issue. What Bin Laden didnt realize is that The Bush Admin (At least in the beginning) wasnt going to sit back and take it.
Yes, it is all clear now - I forgot that Bin Laden is...still on the loose.

Nothing about attacking the US by flying our own planes into buildings.
So that was taken as reason to do nothing to increase airport security? IF the President was allegedly protecting Americans would that not include the safety of civilian aviation? A little too busy making plans to pursue his personal vendetta to worry about everyday people?

Nice work cowboy!
Lets all forget that Clinton had Bin Laden in his sights, but decided to play in a charity golf tournament than capture him...
I don't know what all the arguing is about. Ever since it became a requirement to take off my shoes for inspection at the airport, I've never felt so safe in all my life.
