According to a New York Times report, George Bush and his Republican administration ignored several warnings that al-Qaeda had planned to attack the US and did nothing. Reporter Kurt Eichenwald apparently reviewed several presidential briefs with strong warnings about the impending attack, however, George Bush and his Republican cohorts dismissed the threats as al-Qaeda's attampt to distract them from the Iraq war.
If the facts as stated are true, then the Republican administration under George Bush did not take threats to the security of the United States seriously. The result was the loss of thousands of lives and billions of dollars. If the George Bush administration did not listen to threats against the American people and did nothing then why is there not an investigation into what really happened?
Bet you if it were the Obama administration that had made such a blunder, then the Republicans would have been demanding Obama's head on a platter. Instead of celebrating the demise of the person responsible for the horrific 9/11 tragedy, it appears that the \republicans would rather there was no mention of Osama's demise and that Obama does not take credit for it.
September 9/11 was a horrendous attack on the peace and security of not only the US but the world as a whole and as much as some would like to forget it ever happened, we must never forget.
