Reply #1: They're a forgetful bunch at the Bush White House, aren't they?

[gratuitous]

"Okay, Abramoff might have been here a couple of times, but a lot of people come to the White House."

Uh, 385 visits?

"Doesn't mean anything."

"I would have remembered a meeting about Al Qaeda."

Yeah, right here: July 10, two months before the attacks.

"Well, they didn't say there was an impending attack." Tenet's fault for not telling Dr. Rice the flight numbers, seat assignments, departure airports and arrival airports. How are you supposed to watch every person going on to every flight? Just can't be done. And who could have imagined fully-loaded jet airplanes taken over and their fuel used as the igniter for a huge conflagration? You'd have to know that fuel burns or something! So outrageous as to be unimaginable!
