And if you read the 9.11 report or Richard Clarke's book, you would know that Bush ignored it also until September 11th.
That's what Clarke said in his book. He said just the opposite at other times. And I know for a fact that Bush did NOT ignore the threat of terrorism before 9/11. One of the first things he did was to write a letter to and contact Musharaff.....because he felt re-building that relationship was primary on fighting terrorism. Then he tasked Condi Rice to put together an action plan to "eliminate al Qaeda"......instead of simply "rolling them back" which had been the policy under Clinton. She had that report and plan done and placed it on his desk on September 10, 2001.
