Apparently you believe you have made a point of some kind.We know you thought otherwise of Commander Bunnypants......and look...
To think that he had only just begun....
I would say that it demonstrates, unambiguously, that "keeping America safe" wasn't exactly Scrub's strong suit....Boldly Asserting otherwise might satisfy the clinical definition of Insanity....
Blaming Bush for 9/11 is the sure sign of a leftwing douche bag. Americans weren't willing at the time to tolerate the kind of security measures that would have prevented it. If anyone is to blame, it's Clinton who had several opportunities to apprehend bin Laden, and he declined them all.
Your Bold Assertion.....
My evidence...
The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."
The Shadow War, In a Surprising New Light
The....worst.....POTUS.....ever!
An unnamed CIA 'briefer' mentioned in a book by a Washington post reporter?
You'll excuse us if we find your sources less than credible.
Furthermore "bin Laden determined to strike in U.S. doesn't provide any actionable intelligence. What was Bush supposed to do in response to such a report, shut down all our airports indefinitely?
Are you the same guy who, when challenged to put up some evidence to back up his Bold Assertion, demanded that it be taken on faith?
