Investigation on 9/11 Terrorist Attacks
March 24, 2004

Was terrorism a policy for President Bush when he entered office? According to a probe investigating the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Bush may have not considered terrorism a top priority, according to Bush's former counter-terrorism chief, Richard Blake. According to Blake, the Bush administration considered terrorism to be an important issue, but not critical. However, on 9/11, not only the Bush administration, but the entire country, changed forever.

It is pretty much impossible to not know what happened on 9/11, when New York lost the crown of its skyline forever. However, only now does it become known that there may have been signs that 9/11 was looming on the horizon. Blake also stated that Bush focused too heavily on Iraq after September 11th, although the White House disputes this. This information is all coming about due to The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, a 10 person council charged with forming a clear chain of events leading up to 9/11. Although the Commission is nowhere near finished, it already appears that things are heating up. The Commission has heard testimonies from high ranked members of the cabinet including Seceretary of State Colin Powell, and is scheduled to hear a private testimony by none other than President Bush himself.

What could this commission mean for the country? For one, its results could hold great consequences for either side in the rapidly approaching elections. This Commission could also shed some light on what caused and led up to 9/11, and could maybe, just maybe, give a little piece of solace to the families of the thousands who perished on September 11th.
