My impression over the course of my career after over 22 years is that the first thing the seventh floor ever considered when you brought them in operation to approve was what if we fail and how will we get roasted by the media? It took Bill Clinton Just 13 days to respond to the embassy bombings. But for some reason, a reason that has never been explained, he had no response at all to the attack on the USS Cole. Even more bizarre and telling is the Bush administration's explanation for why it didn't respond. It was most clearly articulated by the neocon number two at the Pentagon, Paul Wolfowitz.
