You guys are right about Bush as Commander in Chief, Executive Chief, President, CEO (sort of), and the Boss (finances-related) and so on. He is the leader for the United States.
Funny thing is that I am almighty Democrat. I hated Bush so much, I am pretty sort of anti-Bush. Surprisingly, I don't believe that Bush has something to with pre-9/11. Bush had nothing to do with pre-9/11. Yes, Secret Services and CIA are aware of threats from Middle East, Al Queda, etc. but WHEN??
BUT NOBODY knew WHEN it'd happen. Nobody saw it coming. Those airports missed the opportunity to stop. Nobody flagged RED in those airports. Immigrant Agency missed the opportunity to flag RED. Everybody passed through Security Gates with no problem. Interesting, is it? If Secret Services knew before it happens, Bush would not be in school visiting with kids. Congress and DOD will be evacuated quickly, Nobody would not get killed. And the Air Force sending planes to distract those airplanes into New York City and Washington, DC. That's the difference. It's all about "When it'd happen..????" That's it.
Few of you said right, Bush trusted agencies to the jobs. Government staffing are hired to take care of every tasks and duties without burdening on the President Bush. We cannot expect Bush to do WHOLE GOVERNMENT jobs.
So, we all pointed to National Security, we pointed to CIA for the pre-9/11. Now you know why Bush was so hurtful because he trusted those agenices. Bush was angry with those agencies for "missing" the opportunity. No question. Nobody reported Secret Services before Bush's airplane taking off to visit schools. My heart went to Bush. Bush was overwhelmed with dealings with 9/11. Now, you realize why Bush was angry and shook up the whole government system, created few new agencies, re-mapped the communication system, requested the Congress to vote to grant the powers to National Security. The better they are, they can "prevent" the incidents before it happens.
Therefore, it was NOT Bush's fault.
Keyword: Opening a can of worms. Whoever knew, whoever failed to report Secret Services. CIA knew it and failed to stop it. Airports missed it. Immigrant Agency missed. Everybody passed the security. Nobody knew when it'd strike us. Now, we are so caught and Bush is so caught with burdens. Get an idea??? Again, it is not Bush's fault. He did well job on few weeks after 9/11. Now, we are okay because of Bush's policy tightening up the security at Immigrant Agency, National Security, etc.
