Now Cressey is speaking out for the first time. He says in the early days of the Bush administration, al-Qaida simply was not a top priority, “There was not this sense of urgency. The ticking clock, if you will, to get it done sooner rather than later.”

Cressey and other witnesses have told the 9/11 commission of long gaps between terrorism meetings and greater time and energy devoted to Russia, China, missile defense and Iraq than al-Qaida.

For example: One document shows a key high-level National Security Council meeting on Iraq on Feb. 1, 2001. Yet, there was no comparable meeting on al-Qaida until September.

zithead -- you're the one who keeps proclaiming that things are going just great when it could not be clearer that they are not -- Clinton was engaged re OBL, and gave the correct order; the fact is it was not his fault that order was not carried out -- dubya and his people were at best asleep at wheel re OBL pre 9/11 -- and there were no analogues under Clinton to the lies and the 'intelligence' known to be false re Iraq under dubya, or to his policy of torture and murder of prisoners and any multitude of other instances of open and unabashed violation of our laws, including in particular the Constitution, by him and his fellow chickenshit fascist neo-con chickenhawks -- bottom line, zit, based on your posts here, you're utterly full of crap -- you've shown nothing here other than name-calling gibberish and totally unsupported proclamations of how things are that just ain't so -- and re your oh-so-typical total brown-shirt of a cartoon, you either don't have even the first clue about what 'our side', and being an American, truly mean, or (much more likely imo) you're knowingly deeply un-American, and indeed in truth fascist, through and through -- take your pick -- and either way, get stuffed
