The citizens of her district have the right to remove her for her actions.

I personally will not be a lap dog for Bush for the sake of unity. I believe the government could have done a better job at containing the damage. Needless to say, I am not impressed that we tracked the plane that hit the Pentagon and took no action.

Feel free to read my timeline analysis and then determine our job performance:
==========================
American flight 11
1) take off 8:00am at Boston Logan airport
2) begins to veer off course at 8:15
3) ATC notes failure to climb at 8:20
4) plane begins to turn toward NYC at 8:29
5) plane strikes north tower at 8:48

United Flight 175
1) take off at 7:58am at Boston Logan airport
2) veer from planned route 8:47am
3) crash into tower at 9:03AM

United Flight 93
1) take off at 8:43am from Newark
2) plane veers from planed route at 9:37AM
3) plane crashes in Pa. at 10:10.

Fortunately, the brave passengers took care of this plane.

American Flight 77
1) 8:21 take off at Dulles
2) 9am plane veers from course
3) 9:45 plane crashes into Pentagon

Analysis:

Give the US government a free pass for not challenging American Flight 11,
though the plane was clearly not being flown properly for a full 20 minutes

United Flight 175 begins to veer from the planned course at nearly the same
time the first tower was hit. Sixteen minutes later it hits the other tower.
This plane could have probably been shot down if a plan was in place.

Now to show how the government was really asleep at the wheel, look at
American flight 77. By the time it begins to veer off course, both WTC
towers have been hit. Then this plane takes a full 45 minutes to reach the
Pentagon.
