If you read Clarke's book, or any of a number of other sources, you will learn that Clinton didn't ignore the threat. If you think that's absurd, post something non-Korean about it.
Did Bush "ignore" the threat? Literally speaking, he may not have plugged his ears and turned away when he got a CIA briefing that Al Qaeda wanted to launch attacks in the United States in August, 2001, but if you think he did anything about it, maybe you'd like to enlighten us as to what that was. Or apparently you think Bush didn't ignore it because Condi never got the memo? Which position is absurd again?

What should have been done? Have a meeting? Talk about it? We talk about it- is this helping?
I mean fuck- 2 embassies, the world trade center and a warship had been blown up in the previous 8 years- of course they knew about al Queda.
