It’s time to disband the 9-11 commission. It, and the surrounding media coverage, is degenerating into nothing more than a partisan finger-pointing session that does nothing to combat terrorism or make the US safer.
One can place plenty of blame at Clinton’s feet. However, I have to say as former Clinton basher, I’m not sure he could have really done anything.
Without the emotion of 9-11, it would have been very difficult to rouse the country to a war in Afghanistan. Certainly, we would not have had the cooperation we currently have in the endeavor.
Also, please recall all the warnings of how both the British and the Russians failed in Afghanistan.
The United States for at least 10 years has been too divided to take any course of action that wasn’t forced upon it. Those divisions have only intensified over time. Only 9-11, reduced the civil war of words to a low enough volume that decisive action could be taken.
Past events always look predictable in hindsight. Listen to all the stock prognosticators tell us why the market went up or went down. Ask them, however, which way it’ll go at the beginning of the day and you’ll get a different answer.
Stop the charade. The 9-11 commission is a waste of time and money. Pull the plug.
