After recently watching Keith Olbermann's "8 Years of Bush in 8 minutes", he made sure to mention how a month before 9/11 (8/6, to be exact) he received a warning memo that bin laden was going to attack the U.S.
I know we're going to commonly refer back to this in the future, but do you think it was possible for Bush, even our Government to have stopped it?
Personally, I'd say no. There weren't any specifics on how or when it would happen, so what would Bush have done? Stop all traffic into the united states? Arrest every person in America from afghanistan?
It would be Impossible. Hell, even convincing Airports to spend more money on even stricter machines on the basis of a warning would have been impossible.
It's just bothering me how blame for the attack is being blamed on Bush for not acting. I just don't see how it could have been done...
What do you guys think?
