Or “Did Bush Allow the 9/11 attacks to happen?” Which I think is even more apropos.

For the record, I think that Bush deemphasized counterterrorism before 9/11, but in no way can be accused of letting the attacks happen. I do think we could have prevented them, but there is no scenario in which I believe Bush would have allowed them to happen. I think his focus was simply not on terrorism before 9/11.
