Seems odd that the 9/11 comission would release such a lengthy report when it appears as if they could simple have published "Bush's fault.". I guess that's what people get for having in depth hearings and not just checking GFY first.

So bin Laden should have intimated a date and time to make the whole scenario concrete before thinking of taking any action??
Agree.. it was a total balls up on the security side. Even more amazing it the thought of the volumes of actual money spent by US taxpayers to have this pathetic standard in intelligence.
Tho got little doubts that what is publically known from sounds bites about the intelligence report, - there was a lot more yet not public, and chances are, that it never be publically known for the embarassment factor.
Na.. Doubt Bush's vacation arrangements contributed to 9/11 - his naivity and probable ineptness most likely helped more.
Ya gotta remember, this is a guy with very little experience and a track record prior to taking office where he sure don't get 10 stars. He is also a guy with a personal problem he's working on - not the best individual to have a balanced judgement. He is also a guy who promises a lot, like many politicians, - and from the day of taking office closed all doors and became a "secret". It's not hard to see the reason why when you listen to him talk. George is George and very unlikely he'll ever change. Meanwhile, he is the President, for better or worse, but even now, sure doing one foul job of it - but ya can't expect anything much better. That's why experience and a track record matter - not who's son you are.
