By that definition, Bush was asleep at the wheel on 9/11.

He had been President for 8 months by then.

The terror alert was not high in the first 8 months during President Bush time and not even in all the years before he became President in 2001. In fact the 9/11 terrorists came to the US in 2000 when Bill Clinton was President but no one caught them.

One day when your Bush hatred will subside you will know the great thing that President Bush did in the war on terror.

PS: I am sure you will respond by saying you do not hate President Bush.

Nice try. Planning was well under way for the 9/11 attacks before Bush ever entered office. The Bush team didn't get the same transition treatment that he's giving Obama; the x42 administration just dumped everything in their laps in Jan. of 2001. In addition, Jamie Gorelick had strengthened the WALL between the CIA and FBI, so there could be no sharing of info between the two groups.
