A little fact that few on the far right will acknowledge is that MANY if not the majority of the 9/11 widows, etc. HATE the Fed. Govt. for the cover up that happened after 9/11. They have testified before Congress and have openly and loudly boo'd Rice and other big wigs when they spewed their lies about how they were on top of the OBL threat prior to 9/11. The truth is (and I defy anyone to provide a fact to refute this) W and his ilk essentially completely ignored the many warnings from the Clinton Administration (who caught and prosecuted terrorists and prevented terroristic acts mind you - though certainly not all - but more than W (save the people captured in Afgan assuming they were all part of OBL armies
) and anyone with any knowledge about the growing threat from OBL, who had directly attacked our country many times in the past on both our soil and elsewhere. They could not be bothered. In fact, they even somewhat stymied the Cole investigation (again OBL) out of apathy and then had the gall to say Clinton was bad for allowing it to happen. They instead were squarely focused on Iraq. I get that SH may have had WMD and SH was certainly not meeting his obligation to the UN, but SH at best only attacked an ally of the US; he never blew up our military barracks, the WTC (93), the Cole, and other incidents. So, while SH was a problem, he hardly rose to the level of OBL at that time and pretty much every single person in the know when W took office said as much. Then, once we get hit on 9/11, does the Bush Admin. learn from its mistakes - no it does not. It attacks Afganistan, which was the right thing to do, but then soon looses focus when OBL is not caught and goes back to Iraq with a vengence and lies and cheats to gets it way there. Again, Iraq and OBL and 9/11 had nothing to do with wach other - yet most cannot make that distinction because W and his lying cronies confused the two.
Interestingly, so many on the far right are so willing to portray Clinton as ineffective on terrorism and OBL (which is mostly worng becuase while he did not get or stop all events, he did at least one and he caught and prosecuted many who did these horrible acts). Yet, these same people cannot harbor the thought that W's neglect was the main cause for 9/11 being allowed to happen. They cannot or they refuse to turn that high powered light on W. hypocrites - the lot of them.
