The 9 11 Commission report, set out to “prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks”, found out that 19 arab hijackers led by Osama Bin Laden breached the Unites States’ defense system, crashed into the twin towers and pentagon, and eventually resulted in structural failure of the Twin Towers leading to the collapse. However, the failure of our defense system, the collapse of the World Trade Centers, and the illogical explanation of the attack on the pentagon seemed to only point fingers at the inside of our nation, not the outside! The government’s official investigation, the 9 11 commission, stated that due to miscommunication and unpreparedness of these two institutions, the attacks were done at a success. It is important to aknowledge that there have been many contradicting statements to their official story (Bhaerman). Such statements have been ignored by the 9 11 commission.
More should have been done between the President, CIA, FBI and other appropriate anti-terrorism officials regarding this group and/or its leader. Some may say that the President himself was aware of Osama’s direct dwelling, but because it was a suspected site and not a validated site he withheld attacking. “…the Clinton administration knew the broad outlines in 1996 of bin Laden's capabilities and his intent, and unfortunately, almost nothing was done about it." (Lichtblau, 2005) This gave space for another attack from Al-Qaeda. On October 12, 2000 the USS Cole was attacked by suicide terrorist of Al Qaeda killing American sailors and injuring others.

Americans everywhere were angry, fearful, and heartrending. “President George W. Bush (R, 2001-09) blames Al Qaeda, an Islamic fundamentalist terrorist network, for the attacks and declares a ‘war on terror’.” (“Key events in the History of U.S. security at the September 1 Anniversary
They wouldn’t find the role of the US anywhere. People seemed to forget that it was the US who initiated the conflict. It was the US who backed the Southern Vietnam Government with 16300 military advisors, money and half a million troops so that they could refuse to hold the unification election (“Digital History”). The US also sent 193 B-52 Stratofortress aided with 48 F111 "Aardvark", lots of F4 and graphite noise generator bombs to crush Hanoi (Head 73). And then they withdrew.

There was also a World Trade Center bombing that took place in 1993 that Osama claimed was his work but it was later discovered that he and his terrorist group Al Qaeda actually had nothing to do with the bombing. This was Osama’s first declaration of Jihad and when his rain of terror officially begun. He ordered the bombing of two United States Embassies in East Africa. Two hundred people were killed in these attacks including twelve Americans. In retaliation to these attacks that Al Qaeda carried out, U.S forces carried out air strikes on targets in Sudan and Afghanistan with success but did not achieve the ultimate goal of killing Osama in one of these attacks.

One obstacle that today’s president Barack Obama had to deal with was the capture or death of the notorious terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Ever since the attack of 9/11 Bin Laden had been on hiding no here to be found. When President Barack Obama became president there was pressure on him to capture this terrorist, since the Bush administration failed to do so Obama wanted to close this chapter of the war on terror. The only way to end this Obama had to be successful on capturing or killing the most wanted man in the United States. After years of searching for Bin Laden the CIA had gotten a break in late 2010.
Bush had an extremely high approval rating. On October 7, 2001, a Fox News/Gallup poll asked, “Do you approve or disapprove of the job George W. Bush is doing as president?” more than eighty percent of those polled said they approved the Presidents job. It is important to note that on October 7 President Bush, “In response to the 9/11 attacks…declares a ‘War on Terror’, and identifies Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network responsible for the 9/11 attacks. A U.S-led coalition launches air strikes against targets in Afghanistan, where Bin Laden is being sheltered by the Taliban regime.” At the start of the “War on Terror” the American people showed strong support for the president and his
