"On Sept. 11, 2001, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice was scheduled to deliver a speech outlining a Bush administration policy that would address the threats the United States faces. Butthe focus was largely on missile defense, not terrorism from Islamic radicals, the Post said.
The speech, which was never delivered because of the attacks, mentioned terrorism as one of the dangers from rouge nations such as Iraq rather than from the cells of extremists now considered the main security threat to the United States, the Post said. The text contained no mention of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or Islamic extremist groups."
