Would this have prevented 9/11. Who knows? But we would have had a much better chance.

Missle Defense is all about Pork? Then why was it one of the recommendations of the Hart-Rudman commision on homeland security? Do Hart and Rudman have financial interests in the defense field?
Also, please let us know what information Clinton gave Bush that would have changed the Bush policy on terrorism. Bush continued the Clinton policy regarding Al Queda and terrorism until it had formulated it's own plan (which looked remarkably similar to suggestions that Clinton gave Bush). So what did Bush ash-can that could have been used to prevent 9/11?
