The exact opposite is true with Al Qaeda. All this is spelled out quite clearly in the report.
How odd that everyone expected Clinton to take action on the Cole when it wasn't definitely linked to Al Qaeda til January, 2000. Bush was warned that Al Qaeda was the greatest threat facing this country, he ignored the warning. 9/11 happened on his watch.
At any rate, Bush has now had over 37 months to do something about Al Qaeda. To me. OBL looked healthy and well fed. The greatest threat to this nation has been forgotten while Bush pursues his quest for empire.
Interesting on the collapse of the second tower. Horrible day.
