Simple. The Bush administration should have:
#1 - Made the possibility of a terrorist attack THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY instead of a POOR THIRD behind Missile Defense and drawing up plans to invade Iraq. It was not like the U.S. was under an imminent threat that some nation would start lobbing ICBM's at us. The missile defense priority was all about PORK for defense firms. And iif you think it was not a poor third, like Clarke said, then you have your head DEEP in the sand.
#2 - Actually reveiwed in in earnest, the Clinton information which they TRIED to give to the Bush administration which stressed the threat of Al-Qaeda and which the BUSH administration ASH-CANNED.
Would this have prevented 9/11. Who knows? But we would have had a much better chance.
