Why do you believe this?  Everything I have read was that they were planning
the attacks and learning how to fly the planes well before Bush was in
office.  Do you think they were waiting to see who was elected before they
have the go ahead to attack?  If Sore Loserman... I mean Gore Lieberman...
were in office I think they would have complained and moaned and very little
would have happened, other than really funny SNL skits.  Every time I hear
Lieberman speak he reminds me of Doug and Wendy Whiner from old SNL stuff.

First of all, if that movie swayed you that much, then I would think you
haven't been paying much attention to what is happening in the world.  If
you are going to blame Bush for this, you need to really think about what
happened, or rather didn't happen, with this information when Klinton was in
office.  Why didn't that administration do anything?

I don't mean this last statement to be directed at you, but it seems most
people believe that when stuff like this happens on someone's watch then it
is their fault, when in reality it takes, sometimes, many years for the
effects of anything happening in government to trickle down to where it can
be observed.  There were bad things that happened in every administration
that were the result of the previous.

Again, hindsight is 20/20.

But yet Klinton didn't?  Gore... hell... he hadn't even learned to bend a
single joint in his body by then.  Gore or Lieberman would have looked like
a complete ass if they had been standing on the rubble by the WTC like Bush
did, if they would have even tried to do so which I doubt.
