Maybe it would have been better for the Democrats to be holding the bag after 9/11. There would have been NO way to blame it on Republicans, and it’s not like the end result could have been worse - a fiasco of a war, money and blood spilled to little avail, WMD’s spirited away. Regardless of the bravery of our soldiers the Bush follow through was as bad as deliberate Democrat skullduggery could have been.
