911 happened under his watch is it any wonder they are now rewriting history. Consider if Bush et al were to take credit for this, would they then take responsibility for their failure in 09-11-2001 ? Would they take responsibility for the economic failure? Would they take credit for the housing bubble or the missing WMDs, or the illegal invasion of Iraq? Or Abu Ghraib? Republicans fail in office repeatedly and yet our electorate is so easily influenced by propaganda and repeated lies that the idiots are often elected. Bush in his own words below, seems similar to the reports he ignored prior to 911.
