Sarah Palin: Phenomenon

It’s almost beyond belief but Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rogue” is already the best selling book on both Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. This even though it isn’t finished yet.

Un-be-lie-va-ble.

Bear in mind that there was no Department of Homeland Security back then. The FBI, CIA, NSA, et al were not working together nor on the same page in the intelligence community. Plus what did the Bush Administration have to go on besides the usual "there might be a terrorist attack sometime soon" warnings, which I'm sure that the government gets every day? They had no one to catch red-handed like the guy in Colorado recently, who had bomb-making stuff in his car with him when they caught him. Unless you mind explaining to me how you can tell a person's intentions as they board a plane; are they going to hijack it or not? If you can tell right away, take that knowledge of yours and multiply it by tens of thousands of people that board flights every day.

The point is that operating on assumptions and speculations doesn't get you very far. Just like Hurricane Katrina; nobody really knew for sure where it was going to hit until the very last few hours or so. It's easier to blame than it is to use common sense when it comes to trying to figure out why somebody couldn't predict the unpredictable.

it is quite true that an engaged bush, a president who actually took the time to listen to what the anti-terrorism experts were saying, may not have been able to prevent the 911 tragedy
but then it is also a reasonable possibility that an engaged president would have listened and acted in a way to pre-empt such a terrorist act ...
what we do know is that we had an incurious president who preferred to remain ignorant, despite the pleas to listen from those experts who believed an attack was imminent. that character flaw, that predisposition to do nothing, should not be used to excuse his weak, incompetent administration

I keep hearing that she tried to cover that up, but the way I remember it, and I watched very closely - rather than trying to cover it up, she just didn't broadcast it. I would have done the same thing. She was in a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed if you do, (*)(*)(*)(*)ed if you don't situation. If she hadn't let it be known when she did, she would have been blasted. If she had of broadcasted (for whatever reason), she would have been blasted. I don't think a person's teenage daughter's pregnancy is relevant to a person running for vice president.

As for her foreign policy knowledge, neither does our president.

Those of you who think 9/11 might have been preventable might want to look into the way the democrats held up 3 of Bush's key national security appointments until JULY.

And the former president was briefed in August of the same year that Bin Laden was determined to strike in the US. August comes after July.
