New talking point to trump all others

Oh. My. God. The Republicans and fox "news" are starting the talking point that 9/11 did not occur during Bush's presidency.

"We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during George Bush's presidency"

Do they honestly believe that saying things like that will make us forget that horrible day?

This is not from some random wingnut like Coulter who you'd expect to say something like that. This was Bush's press secretary.

Not only did Bush ignore all the warnings about al Qaeda from the Clinton Administration, and ignore the Presidential Daily Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the US", and ignore the FBI reports of potential terrorists taking flying lessons with no desire to learn how to take off or land, and ignore intelligence reports saying terrorists want to use planes as missiles, but during his watch we did have 9/11, the anthrax attacks, the shoe bomber and the dirty bomber.

Now they're trying to gloss over all of that?

Do they really believe that the American public can be made to forget all of that?

Unbelievable.

(added 1/6/10)
Flashback to a month before 9/11. Bush, while on vacation of course, received a presidential briefing entitled: "Bin Laden determined to strike in US." Bush responded: "All right. You've covered your ass, now." And went fishing.

That's how little the Republicans cared about national security until it became a fear tool to pass draconian legislation and transfer America's wealth to their cronies.
