And yes, it was not quite eight month's into Bush's watch, which does not deflect accountability from Clinton, who allowed this evil to fester for eight years.
We weren't attacked because Bush was president. We were attacked because we had such a long history of reacting weakly to previous attacks.
I pretty much agree with this. I don't think the Clinton Admin did an effective job fighting terrorism. But then again, I don't recall the GOP led congress making a big issue of it, either. I think it was a total gubmint failure. But sometimes that's how it goes. You don't take a threat seriously until it kicks you in the teeth. We all should have known better. Now we do. I just think it's retarded the way a lot of GOP cheerleaders constantly go back to Clinton, Clinton, Clinton.
