Oh, and furthermore. How many people out here who believe Bush attacked Iraq, without sufficient evidence, are now demanding to know why nothing was done to prevent 9-11?

When Easterbrook is good, I wonder sometimes how he stands being a Democrat?

I think it's obscene to look into Greg Easterbrook's wet dream.

This brings out a real truism among political professionals. They are all out to get the other party. They truly don't care why.

When Easterbrook is good, I wonder sometimes how he stands being a DemocratYeah, what's up with that? I used to be a big fan of The New Republic way back when, but it quickly became insufferable during the Clinton years.
Are some of the writers going to support Bush?
To: .cnI redruM
No kidding - idiot Bob Kerrey reamed our military, saying "it is all bad" in Iraq - then reamed Condi for not invading Afghanistan pre-emptively.

I think he had two goals with this piece other than mental self-gratification.
1) TO show how utterly contemptible the entire Bush Knew hysteria was.
2) To undermine the doctrine of preemption by showing what he thought would have happened if we had preempted 9-11.
In the vein of #2, it kind of reminds me of the not so subtle plot twist in the movie "Paycheck."

On August 7, 2001, Bush had ordered the United States military to stage an all-out attack on alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan. Opps! Missed this line. Now I get it.

a brilliant response to the "Bush should have done something" crowd!
Most of these folks would have opposed any action pre-9/11 and still oppose actions taken to prevent further attacks.

It hasn't taken long to forget the events of 9-11. Or more to the point--how could this happen to us? We have to be right 100% of the time whereas a single individual or a group can be lucky once. If people think that our open society is immune, or ever will be, to tragedies like 9-11, then we have more problems than trying to lay the blame on anyone other than the guilty. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
