asherisSince it seems Shrub and his people knew there were hijacking plans, why the hell didn't they do something about airport security last summer?
Trying to excuse it by claiming that "... the president and his advisers had no way of knowing that suicide hijackers would use the planes as missiles..." doesn't cut it. They knew there was a greatly increased risk of hijackings (in which people tend to die), and did nothing to prevent it.
Oh, wait. If they had, there'd be no deaths giving them an excuse to start a "war", or to get the whole "homeland security" thing going. Without those, people might actually pay attention to things like a corrupt Attorney General, or the Enron mess- and those just wouldn't be good for the upcoming mid-term elections, or the 2004 campaign.
