That's great, but when Bush/Ashooooo decided to cut funding and priorities to anti-terrorism work, which Clinton had made a major priority, then they need to take responsibility when something goes wrong. If you are the CEO of a huge company, and you change the direction of that company, and the direction you choose causes the company to get fucked, then you have to take the blame.
The same people who blamed Clinton for everything, and I mean everything that went wrong in the world for 8 years are now saying that Bush is completely blameless for something that he should have at least tried to prevent. The fact that the Bush family was doing business with the Bin Laden family in the years leading up to the attack is far more serious a problem then all of the made up Clinton "scandals" combined.
Most Americans from both parties support a full investigation into the 9/11 scandal. If it means that Clinton gets in trouble, fine. If it means that Bush gets impeached, fine. I don't care if both of these guys are found to be crooks and booted out of the country. Full disclosure for both men is what I would like to see. However, the real troubling thing to many people is that Bush is trying to do everything in his power to stop an investigation. Just like Nixon tried to stop the Watergate investigation, Bush is trying to stop the 9/11 investigation.
Ask yourself this. Why would Bush be working so hard to try to stop people from looking into what went wrong leading up to 9/11?
