Did Bush Do Amything Right

.

HE WASN'T PERFECT BUT HE WAS PRETTY GOOD

.

On 9/11 war with America was declared by Islamofascist terrorists. 3,000 innocent people were exterminated to get our attention.

Richard C. Clarke, who had been in charge of the counterterrorist operation within the National Security Council under eight years of the Clinton administration, and a few months under Bush before resigning in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack, immediately exonerated Clinton, who had done NOTHING SIGNIFICANT in response to several major terrorist attacks.

(1) Mr. Clarke placed the blame for 9/11 directly on the Bush  administation who had been in office less than eight months.

(2) Clarke also denied there was ANY connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda.

These statements should have discredited Richard Clarke altogether, but he was useful to the violently anti-Bush crowd then gathering steam. Clarke became the first in a long line of Bush-Haters. 

Charles Hill, a former government official, said quite a lot when he remarked that intelligence collection is always imperfect at best. Refusal to face this reality resulted in the rather stupid contradiction of:

(1) The Senate Intelligence Committee criticized the  BUSH ADMINISTRATION for   
     acting on third rate intelligence (Iraq).

(2) The 9/11 Commission criticized the BUSH ADMINISTRATION for NOT acting upon it.

Did anyone notice that it was George W. Bush, that "simplistic" moralizer and trigger happy "cowboy," that flouter of international law and reckless unilateralist, who posessed the wit to see the future and had summoned up the courage to begin crossing over into it.

Let's give this guy a break.
