i'm not defending the clinton admin. i'm saying the bush admin shoulders some of the responsibility as well, there were warning signs they were aware of and action wasn't taken on those until after 9/11.

Our failure to counter 9/11 is MUCH broader than which political party was in office. Both Bush and Clinton made tactical and strategic errors in responding to a growing threat. This is undeniable.
it looks like we're saying the same thing. it's just that everytime this topic comes up the conservative mouthpieces of ceg only state one side of the story.

No one to this day has answered my question of why Hussein still refuses to discuss WMD with US interrogators. Why does he still remain silent on this?
probably because he doesn't want to incriminate himself. this doesn't go against any of what i've said before as far as iraq probably having wmds. that is far different from the bush ascertions that iraq was still producing wmds, linked to al qaeda, and an immediate threat to our homeland safety.

Again, I'm not through the entire 9/11 report as of yet, but I've read little that tosses the BULK of the concern and fallout on the Bush administration, as you so ignorantly suggest here.
show me where i place the BULK of the fall out of 9/11 on the bush admin because i'd really like to see this. all i've ever suggested is that the blame is to be distributed instead of constantly pushed back on the clinton admin. especially when the bush admin was briefed about terrorists planning operations in the US possibly using hi-jacked airplanes.
