"[The] PDB... said there were various reports that Osama bin Laden had wanted to strike inside the United States as early as 1997 and continuing into the spring of 2001."

Do you contend that Bush should have pushed to strengthen the cockpit doors, trained 6000 new sky marshals to add to the 50 flying before 9/11, and displaced thousands of workers buy institutionalizing airport security- All within two months of being elected?

Because of general threats that had been ongoing for four years?
