You know, if the Republicans can't back up their President when his personal reputation is being attacked, then, well, they can go to you know where.
Like I said, it's a win-win. The Reps can call for an investigation and the American people will fully support that.
Here's what they should say: "People are outraged and upset, and want to know what happened. It was not only a catastrophic failure, particularly after 9/11, it was unbelievable on the world stage. The world's superpower couldn't seem to respond to its own backyard. The people deserve to know what happened. What if this had been a terrorist attack?"
I just don't see how the Dems could fight such an argument, particularly after they were the first ones to criticize.
And you know what? I wouldn't mind finding out the answers to these questions, either.
The American people are going to demand to know what went wrong.
They deserve to know the truth.
Republicans win the high ground by calling for it first.
Can you imagine what would happen if the Democrats came out against one.
