The fifth anniversary is wood
(As in woulda, coulda, shoulda)
Ron Nasty pointed out in comments that today is the 5 year anniversary(right word?) of President Bush in Crawford receiving the infamous Aug. 6, 2001 PDB - Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.
Perhaps, in memory, we should retell Suskind's description of the event.

The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

Wow - Bush really is an asshole. It is infuriating that so many dumb motherfuckers in this country actually think the petulant boy king is making them safer in the WOT. Dumb bastard was too busy pulling brush to deal with a real threat, then blamed it on Clinton (just like the recesion for that matter.) I hope he burns in John Bunyan's hell.

I often wish I believed in hell so that I might believe that there could be some eventual retribution for evil done in the world.
Less safe, not more. That's a key bit.
