Not sure what your point is.
Gee, weren't you part of the Greek Chorus a couple of years back howling about how we didn't pay attention to the signs and warnings before 9/11? How we didn't take steps to protect ourselves? How the fighters weren't launched in time?
Considering it has already been demonstrated that terrorists can launch a deadly attack against Washington DC, what do YOU think is an appropriate level of caution?
Is it your contention that somehow, if Democrats were running things, Washington would be immune to attack? Do you remember exactly when the 9/11 attacks were planned?
