If there was ANYTHING the Bush administration should have been concerned with in its first term it was how this travesty, this outrage of 9/11 happened despite the entire defense and intelligence establishments 'best' efforts.

Bush can't do it himself - he's limited by the integrity/lack of integrity of those who do the actual digging. For him to keep harping at it would be the equivalent of crying over spilt milk; once it's spilt the job is to mop it up, not ponder how it happened. Why should Bush lower himself to the level of Slick Willie, who now claims that if he had still been President when some of the info came out (he was, but why quibble) he woulda attacked first and stopped 9-11, blah, blah blah...

The fact that we haven't had another attack on our soil in the last 4 years speaks volumes of how Bush and company want to know how things got out of hand and to stay ahead of the power curve. Like he says; he's results-oriented, not a snivelling whiner about the past that can't be changed. Anyone who thinks his knowledge is limited to the paltry info from the commission and other studies is a fool; he just won't moan about it to no good purpose.

Obviously I disagree.

DC is a dysfunctional cesspool of power mongers. If Bush were half the man that Ronald Reagan was he would have made reformation of this sick government of ours a priority.

This monumental failure which culminated in 9/11 would have made an excellent rallying cry. Bush could have been one of the greats of history rather than what he is. Another Bush in the dynasty that has never seen a government job it didn't crave.

Thank God at least this Bush was willing to buck the Left and prosecute the War on Terror but he could have done so much more.

He has the people largely behind him. There is so much he could do and yet he is satisfied with truly paltry efforts and causes.
