No it was about who was asleep at the security switch that day?
It is about who has never really tried to get Bin Ladin?
It is about who has never successsfully brought more than one person to trial for those actions.
It is about who mismanaged our armed forces to make them look weak and inept, when we know how good they are. I thought if we had learned on thing from Vietnam it was we should try to win wars, not maintain them.
It is about the lies and mistruths that got us here.
Just once could you pretend GWB is a Democrat and judge him the same way you judge Bill and Hillary.

LOL Jim.... Bush had 8 months in office before the 9-11 attacks and Clinton had 8 years... After the attack on the WTC in 1993, Clinton did nothing. After the attack in Riyadh, Clinton did nothing. After the attack on the embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Clinton did nothing. After the attack on Khubar Towers, Clinton did nothing. After the attack on the USS Cole, Clinton did nothing. After 9-11, Bush did something... How many times was Clinton offered Usama? at least twice...
After oil companies gouged the pockets of american's...Bush did nothing.
After military men and women came home to rotting hospitals and no health benefits, Bush did nothing.
After thousands were killed in Africa, Bush did nothing.
After Ohio became the highest unemployed state in the United States, Bush did nothing.
After more and more jobs were shipped overseas, Bush did nothing. Wait no, he got his buddy Cheney to move Haliburton to Dubai.
After Katrina stranded millions on OUR OWN SOIL, Bush did nothing.
After FEMA put out trailors that made people sick to death, Bush did nothing.
After drug companies took control of health care and rates went up while coverage went down, Bush did nothing.
After 4,000 dead US fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and hundreds of thousand dead Iraqis and Afghanis, Bush turns the other cheek and does nothing to stop it.
After test scores reach an all time low in schools in the United States and we fall down to the lowest achieving developed country in the world, Bush did nothing.
After the American people voted Bush into office and trusted him on tough issues like Iraq, he lied over 900 times.
After Bush found out that two planes rammed into the WTC in new york, he did nothing! He read a childrens book to elementary school kids while innocent Americans were trapped in burning skyscrapers and thousands of flights were still in the air waiting on a decision to be made by the Commander in Chief, not the reading buddy in chief.
We have had 7 years to chase Osama Bin Laden and defeat terrorism but we are in Iraq and not in the mountains looking for him. The primary objective is blow Iraq up, not Al Queda. Oh, and build some bases too.
Tell me Stephen, are we any closer to "Usama" now than we were on September 10th, 2001?
I don't know about you, but I'd rather keep $10 Billion/month here on American soil, to give people health care coverage and future scientists, doctors, and teachers a better education so that we don't breed dumber and dumber kids/voters/leaders of the free world, generation to generation.
You're voting for the President of the United States. The single person that has the power to show future Al Quaeda recruits that America is not the devil. If you want to defeat Al Quaeda, kill the message, not the messenger, because the messenger isn't everywhere, but the message can be found on the morning and nightly news.
