The Washington Post reported this morning that on 9/11 Bush National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was set to give a speech outlining the administration’s number one security priority: missile defense (the Star Wars plan).
The address was designed to promote missile defense as the cornerstone of a new national security strategy, and contained no mention of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or Islamic extremist groups, according to former U.S. officials who have seen the text.
Richard Clarke was obviously correct when he claimed before the 9/11 Commission that the Bush Administration ignored the threat of terrorism before the attacks in New York and Washington.
