Yeah they try to make people think it happened only a few months before Bush was Prez.
Stop being such a jerk.
and with all the vote recounting going on in Florida, checking those chads, Gore not conceding, etc., it took a while for Bush to assemble his cabinet, so they were only up and running, so to speak, for about 5 months before 9/11. Not much time to know everything that had gone on for the previous 8 years.
And in that short time, according to the assinine conspiracy theories, Bush & Co. (the dumbest man and cabinet members EVER!) pulled together the most diabolical plan of 9/11 to kill their own people, so ridiculously outrageous and disgusting that morons out there actually believe it.
