This is how 9/11 happened. GW Bush diverted counter-terror agents to search (uselessly) for scandals under Clinton. Counter-terror divisions have been stripped bare under Trump. And we need to yell about it. So when bad things happen blame will fall where it belongs... apnews.com/article/trum...?

I wonder how many terrorists are telling themselves, "The U.S. is doing such a bang-up job of self-destruction... why bother risking our lives to help them along?"
