This is just pathetic, Part 1

Is this really the best they can do? From Wednesday's Toronto Star:

U.S President George W. Bush responded yesterday to allegations that he ignored a gathering threat from the Al Qaeda terrorist network before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by insisting he "would have acted" had he known what was coming. ...

Bush said CIA Director George Tenet briefed him "on a regular basis about the terrorist threat to the United States of America," adding: "And had my administration had any information that terrorists were going to attack New York City on Sept. 11, we would have acted."

So they're off the hook because Osama bin Laden didn't send them a telegram with the exact date and place of a planned attack? Ooooh, sorry we ever doubted you, Mr. President.
