If the so called Intelligence Czar position is created, and is a cabinet level position under a Kerry administration, who do you think would likely hold the post?

I've heard a few names bandied about, including J. Robert Mueller, and my big boss William Bratton?

Any ideas?

Ok, well maybe not Michael Moore, but partisan feeling aside, it was George W Bush's fault, or more correctly that of his administration which allowed the United States to get to the precarious position it is in, and has been in since 2001.

 Bush allowed a tragedy to happen on his watch, through bad organisation, plain and simple.

As for my earlier comment, take it more of as an Anybody but Bush statement. It matters not whether one is republican or democrat, the point is Bush screwed up. Hell, I'd trust Rick Santorum to keep America 'safe' more than I would G.W.... (don't tell Keystone Phil I said that)

What I don't understand is why the Republicans on this board level absolutely no blame on the president is beyond me.

If this had happened on Clintons watch, who mind you wasn't much better prepared, I'd be just as angry.


OK Nothing happened under Clintons watch right? The World Trade Towers, Oklahoma, Kobar embassy buildings, Mogadishu, Rawanda, Bosnia, USS Cole. Need I really continue on? So far under Bush, 9/11. Who's done a more successful job in you opinion?

No, intelligence failures did happen on Clinton's watch. But you can't seriously compare those events to the catastrophic scale of 9/11... and if you do you are deluded.

But it all led up to 9/11 and Clinton was warned over and over about threats from Al Qaeda and since those above listed terror attacks were committed by Al Qaeda, Clinton should have KNOWN the threat and actually have done something about it. He was warned about Bin Laden at least three times and did ... nothing.
