The issue of what Bush knew pre 9/11 isn’t the problem. Could we have done something different is Monday morning quarterbacking. No person in their right mind would accuse Bush of foul play in not being prepared. The problem is that in the days, weeks and months after 9/11, the White House repeatedly said we had no intelligence, no warning, no indication that this attack was about to happen. The Bush administration lied to the American public to protect it’s ineptness. Anyone who doesn’t understand Bush is inept and unable to properly run an administration never paid attention to how he ran his businesses (all bankrupt) and how he ran Texas (complete breakdown of government services and agencies). The man has ADD. He cannot pay attention to details at the level needed to run an administration.
His speech to Congress after 9/11 will go down as one of the most politically moving and moving and most patriotic speeches in American history. Thanks to passion, adrenaline and a great speech writer, he made history.
And FDR? Please! FDR was dynamic, tough, in control and used power to his advantage. Clinton was a closer match to FDR then Bush could ever dream of being. Clinton survived impeachment and remained popular to the bitter end. Bush will crash and burn as fast as his father did. Bush’s actions forcing post 9/11 spending bills to recover the airline industry, recovery efforts and military buildup have not even begun to affect us yet. On the heels of his self serving tax rebate that virtually every political and financial expert has stated was a huge mistake will take it’s toll on us in the upcoming years.
Bush has to be hoping for an escalation of the war. It may be his only chance of re-election. Israel/Palestine, Pakistan/India or the terrorists themselves, may give him his wish.
