As much as I understand the sentiment behind ignoring bomb threats as they're often fictitious, I feel that it might be awkward for the administration to explain how 200 kids died in a bombing they knew about when they didn't inform anyone inside the building.
It’s like nobody remembers how 9/11 happened because we let things slip, when we had the info
Technically only Cheney had all the info.
Lil Bush was always just a puppet for his dad's buddies. So when he took office he let Cheney set it up so that each intelligence agency had to send everything thru him before telling another agency or even the president.
Either Cheney let it happen because he wanted war, or he just couldn't handle all the info, but was too much of a control freak to get help.
There is much to criticize about the Bush presidency, but I'm willing to accept that incompetence is a much more likely explanation than malice in this instance.
Then you don't know much about Cheney...
In my opinion he 100% wanted war, it's just almost impossible to prove he knowingly let it happen. Which a cynic would say is the entire reason he had that system set up.
That’s a good point. I forgot Cheney wanted everything through him.
Given how many conservative shooters there are, it won't be long until there are conservative bombers.
A bomb requires the faintest modicum of planning and know-how. You can walk down the street and buy a gun same-day depending on your state.
We’ve already had some. Timothy McVeigh is most notable among them.
