There were many points of specific bullshit in Bush's press conference earlier this week that I didn't get to, and this is one of them. This notion that we never, ever could have imagined that terrorists would use hijacked airliners as weapons. That's utter horseshit considering that we've heard plenty of examples over the past couple of years where people raised the notion pre-9/11. Sure, there might not have been any specific threats, but at least the idea was on the table.

The government needs to hire me to just sit around all day thinking up evil shit that the terrorists could pull off, because I am all about worst-case scenario planning. I may not be able to get us prepared for the Second Coming, but I'll at least have us thinking about it.
