Okay, Biggie the Neck's response to all this is beyond stupid. I'll it speak for itself:



Ah, they say, but if this had been president Clinton, you would have jumped on it. Nu-huh. My point about Clinton was his record of eight years of not taking al Qaeda seriously as a real threat to this country and the world. Bush deserves criticism on this score as well, except that he ordered a real review of our efforts and was on the verge of transforming our policies against terror on the eve of September 11. What exactly should Bush have done with this vague information at the time? Shut down the airports? Even then, the use of mere box-cutters to use as hijacking weapons was not anticipated. This is a non-story. It's being used by some to try and get some leverage against the massive support this president rightly has for his conduct of the war so far. It's pathetic.
