Ari Fleischer: “He is weaker and he's running against a weaker president.”

Of course he should. He's the one who authorized the mission. The SEALs carried it out and the President deserves the credit for authorizing it.

He made a reference to barrel bomb himself and how concerned he was about that.

He made a mistake. He shouldn't have done it, and I'm glad he apologized.

Let me just for argument's sake grant his argument, his logic, none of what he said would have stopped 9/11 from taking place.
