Earlier this week the New York Slimes was making a huge to do regarding renewed allegations that the Bush administration received more detailed information about an al Qaida attack from the CIA than has previously been reported.

I've read the accounts, and there doesn't seem to be much in them other than the usual hyperventilating of the liberal press. The CIA was clearly worried that a major attack was scheduled for the summer or fall of 2001, and there was a strong suspicion that the attackers might try to strike the US mainland, but there was nothing specific about an actual plot. As president, Bush continued to receive these CIA briefings, and kept pushing for more actionable intelligence.

How ironic that the same beacons of journalism who rush to smear Bush uphold an entirely different standard when the president is a Democrat, and not only fail to notice their utter hypocrisy, but become unhinged when its pointed out to them.

I didn't see it developing at the time, but the narrative surrounding Libya appears to have been sculpted as Obama's crowning foreign policy achievement.

It is circle-the-wagons time for the Obama camp.

There are people out there who desperately want to turn this into a Romney gaffe and who also want to blame this entirely on some lame youtube video. Obama is blameless.
