He’s looking to stop political enemies, not terrorists.
Some liberals, after the 9/11 report was issued, blamed Bush for not preventing 9/11. Their evidence was the security briefing in Aug. 2001, in which Bush received a general warning that Bin Laden wanted to hijack airplanes.
So, liberals want to blame Bush for not connecting dots prior to 9/11, and specifically this generalized warning about Al Qaeda operatives allied with Bin Laden hijacking planes. Yet, these same liberals are not rushing to blame the Obama administration for not connecting dots with these Boston bombers, who were specifically in the sights of our intelligence operatives.
