Leahy blames Bush for not preventing 9-11. Ping to Today show list.

Leahy was in the Senate then, he had power as well, why didn’t he do or say anything?

Ever notice how much Leahy looks like a hemorrhoid?

I’m thinking Cheney should have followed up his, “Go F**K yourself” statement with a nice right cross to the jaw.

Gorelick

Plus W had to spend the first months of his presidency fighting that unpatriotic jerk’s BS election challenge.

Give algore some credit for 9/11

Well, it was preventable- if the feckless Blowjob Bill had not wasted cruise missiles on empty space, then perhaps they would have struck a worthwhile target...such as Osama bin Laden.....

Agreed with the Leaky one: 9-11 Could have been avoided...

Look up 'Gorelick Wall', and the Rip Van Winkle Clinton years...

Leahy is an idiot.

Bush didn’t even have his whole Cabinet confirmed on 9/11. The Dems in Congress were dragging their feet, the transition wasn’t really even complete.

The “progressives” are at war with us, and have stepped up their war of words. The sooner this all blows up, the bettter. The water is getting warmer...

Leakey Leahy speaks! A Congress that cared more for the country and its citizens could have helped. Instead of the Congress that detested Bush for the 2000 election when the annotated one (the) AlGore lost. A biased Florida courts system started the ball rolling by violating Florida election law.

yes Leaky Leahy was there well before Bush. At least Bush acted unlike the Unknown comic who was telling Predator drone jokes and the correspondants dinner. How does Leahy feel about O’s handling of the Husan terror spree at Fort Hood?

Leahy's either a liar or ignorant (maybe both?)

Sworn testimony from Richard Clarke, President Clinton's anti-terror czar:

GORTON: Now, since my yellow light is on, at this point my final question will be this: Assuming that the recommendations that you made on January 25th of 2001, based on Delenda, based on Blue Sky, including aid to the Northern Alliance, which had been an agenda item at this point for two and a half years without any action, assuming that there had been more Predator reconnaissance missions, assuming that that had all been adopted say on January 26th, year 2001, is there the remotest chance that it would have prevented 9/11?

CLARKE: No.

By the time the Bush Administration was sworn in, it was already too late.

Yes, the Gorelick Wall (to prevent information about Clinton illegal fundraising from becoming public knowledge) and Clinton’s refusal to take Osama bin Laden when the Sudan offered him...9/11 could have been avoided but it was Clinton’s fault.

Clinton and Leahy should have stopped the terrorists when they were taking flying--NOT landing--lessons!

BO has been in office twice as long as Bush was on 911.

Leaht has always been a jerk!

I do believe it was Leaky Leahy that let it slip that we were tracking Bin Ladin via his cell phone. Yep, it could have been avoided if people would quit putting traitorous morons in office.

The idiot! Bush had barely been in office for a matter of mere months. Clinton is the real culprit.
