“I find the criticism almost laughable, in some cases. Here is what I gather is the essence of the criticism prior to the attacks on 9/11: One, President Bush didn't care about terrorism, didn't care about it enough, but if he did, he didn't want to know about it. Second, President Bush didn't know about terrorism, but if he knew, he didn't know enough to do anything. Third, President Bush didn't do anything about terrorism, but if he did, it wasn't enough. Finally, President Bush and the agencies of Government knew about the pending attacks on September 11, 2001, but didn't do anything about it. Or President Bush and the agencies of Government didn't know in advance about terrorism plans for September 11, but they should have. Just laying out this summary of the charges shows the contradictory, almost ludicrous nature of these attacks. How outrageously partisan this all has become.”
