Asleep at the Switch?

I've commented before that I thought that Bush's month-long vacation in August 2001 sent precisely the wrong message to al Qaeda and may have made them even more confident that they could pull off something big against a "resting" U.S.

Well, Atrios has an interesting take on Bush's vacation too:

For those who are a little fuzzy on their recent history, the timeline goes something like this:

August 6, 2001: Bush gets briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside US."

August 7, 2001: Bush begins month long vacation in Crawford, TX.


Remember what Clarke said Clinton did in 1999 after he got intelligence about the planned Millenium attacks? 'Nuff said.
