"The LEAST blame should befall the GW administration due to one simple fact. They were in POWER for only 7.5 months before 911 took place."

I hear this argument a lot. Everytime I hear it I ask myself a very simple question - if 7.5 months is too little time for responsibility, what is a long enough period? When does a new POTUS become responsible for events that take place during his administration? With a possible new POTUS every 4 years - we could end up with no one being responsible for anything. Hell, just blame the guy who was there before you (remember to take credit for anything good though).

Just being my cynical old self again.

Hold on now.......I said the LEAST amount of responsibility for the attack should rest on GW's shoulders. I did NOT hold him harmless. I simply quantified 'responsibility' for the attack as I believe it to actually be.

By the way George Bush is TAKING responsibility for 911. He has recognized the attack as an act of WAR and is replying in kind. But to PRIMARILY BLAME him for 911 because he was the POTUS at the time of the attack is not to gauge the whole truth.
