Israel locked the doors to the pilots' cabins 20 years before 9/11 without 1 hi-jacking attempt.
Richard Clarke, Bill Clinton's terrorism expert, was kept by Bush. He recommended that the cabins be locked, as did the Clinton's transition team. No action was taken.
After his inauguration in January, no cabinet meetings on terroism were held until 1 week before 9/11. Clarke was not invited! During that period, the CIA had 52 hi-jacking threats.
Before 9/11, Bush was an asterisk. After 9/11, he was King George and could kick the U.N.'s WMD inspectors out of Iraq before they could certify that there were none. Then he could send an army into Iraq and set up bases between Syria and Iran and squeeze Iran between Iraq and Afghanistan. King of the hill!
It's hard to believe that smart guys like Karl Rove and Paul Wolfowitz didn't recommend clearing brush at the ranch all summer instead of ordering the FAA to lock the damned doors! The reward was too great and so easy to do.

Clinton could not get a Republican Congress to pay for the locks.
George H.W. Bush didn't lock the doors between 1989 and 1982.
Ronald Regan didn't lock the doors between 1981 and 1988.

The Director of the FBI, Mueller, was a Republican and did't tell Cllinton that foreign Muslims were learning how to fly airliners. FBI agents were complaining that nobody was paying attention to their reports.
