re: #239 whitebeach

You bring up one of the most glaring bits of lack of self awareness by that GOP crowd.

The successful 9/11 attacks - and people always seem to forget there was an earlier terror attempt on a “9/11” that failed, -happened 9 months after the Bush administration had been in office.

I personally don’t blame GWB for the attack, but it shows that his administration was as negligent as the previous one (under which the failed attempt took place.)

Another bit of lack-of-awareness, though in this case it might be more a lack of honesty, is calling ISIS an “existential threat” to the US. I don’t think that word means what they think it means.
