Absolutely happened on his watch and the buck stops at his desk. He and his team ignored the intelligence we had.

Yes, the buck does stop at his desk so in that sense he is responsible.

But don't forget, he didn't get his "team" set up until 6 months into his term, thanks to Al Gore and his endless attempt to steal the election. The intelligence they had at the time was a general threat, not specific.

It's easy in 20/20 to look back and say he should have known, but I wouldn't personally fault him for it.

I don't know enough details of what was known to pass judgement because of security clearance to know it. Still, there was enough known that they should have been on high alert. Obama had his team working from the night of his election forward (Office of the President Elect). I don't give Bush a pass.

This post of mine wasn't directed at you of course Ron, but one of a few remaining posters who still slurp at the trough of Bush-worship:
