How many people in the U.S.A. died on 9/11 as a result of Bush's
incompetency?

-------------------------------------------------------

The number that died as a result of Bill Clinton's incompetency, if
you insist on using that description.

The Clinton years were full of evidence of a major terrorist attack
but officials in his administration debated, argued and misread the
Intel.
Support for action was also affected by the Lewinski affair with the
"Wag the Dog" movie in 1997 causing many in the public to believe an
artificial crisis was being created to distract attention from his
Oval Office activities.

This also had to be considered:

" In addition, the Clinton administration was facing the possibility
of major combat operations against Iraq. Since 1996, the UN
inspections regime had been increasingly obstructed by Saddam Hussein.
The United States was threatening to attack unless unfettered
inspections could resume. The Clinton administration eventually
launched a large-scale set of air strikes against Iraq, Operation
Desert Fox, in December 1998. These military commitments became the
context in which the Clinton administration had to consider opening
another front of military engagement against a new terrorist threat
based in Afghanistan."

Huh? This has little to do with Bush's failures to protect US
citizens. He was told "Bin Laden is going to attack" or some such.
Condi and Bush ignored it.
