Path to 9/11: Makes Bush Look Just as Bad
Despite the Democrats hysteria over Path to 9/11, the movie (at least the Monday showing) shows the Bush gang just as inept as Clinton's buffoons. I repeat: the movie is about the Federal governments failure to protect us from terrorism.
Here are some examples of those failures during the Bush years, prior to 9/11 (as seen in the movie):
1) Richard Clarke is seen being demoted by Condoleeza Rice.
2) FBI shelves suspicious info on why foreigners are training at flight schools.
3) Customs official believes one of the 9/11 terrorists is a "hitman" while another plays it down.
4) Moussaoui is suspected as a terrorist. Dots not connected; bureaucratic wrangling. This was the best chance of preventing 9/11.
5) Red flags everywhere pointing to an imminent attack on U.S. soil. Response: not enough interpreters, no adequate software, info overload.
6) Tenet was an obstacle in both the Clinton and Bush administrations.
7) Richard Clarke argued forcefully in both administrations to act on Bin Laden and al Qaeda.
It was the system that failed!
