Harry, we get it. Lets' not put all the blame on Bush.

I thought the belief was that they had retargeted the autopilot, not shut it off. Who sets the destination on a 757 or 767? Is it the pilot or the tower? This story sure seems to indicate that it used to be the former:

New autopilot will make another 9/11 impossible | News

Harry Boy

Exactly
Clinton Had 8 Years
The Moron Had 8 Months

If the Attack had occured 48 minutes after Bush was sworn in Whoopi Goldberg & Jon Stewart would have blamed him, along with NBC.

Funny how so many people on the right think it's inexcusable to mention all the problems Obama inherited, yet if there's anything that can be blamed on Clinton rather than Bush, you'll leap at the chance.

No hypocrisy there.

"Further, the process of transformation,
even if it brings revolutionary change, is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a
new Pearl Harbor. Domestic politics and
industrial policy will shape the pace and
content of transformation as much as the
requirements of current missions."

Letter to President Clinton on Iraq

January 26, 1998

The Honorable William J. Clinton
President of the United States
Washington, DC


Dear Mr. President:

We are writing you because we are convinced that current American policy toward Iraq is not succeeding, and that we may soon face a threat in the Middle East more serious than any we have known since the end of the Cold War. In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course for meeting this threat. We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world. That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor.
......

Sincerely,

Elliott Abrams Richard L. Armitage William J. Bennett

Jeffrey Bergner John Bolton Paula Dobriansky

Francis Fukuyama Robert Kagan Zalmay Khalilzad

William Kristol Richard Perle Peter W. Rodman

i made a post some time ago regarding the entire blueprint made by the Bush people before he got elected. it was all about the Middle East and regime change ... I'll have to find that again.

I was aware of that before we went into Afghanistan and it was one of the reasons I was very vocal about not going to Afghanistan which I said at the time was only being used to go after Iraq. Myself and 1 other member here were the only ones against Afghanistan ... unfortunately I was right.

I watched Fox News once. All I saw was a litany of haughty blondes talking to me like I was 8 years old.
