It is all well-cited, so I am not relying on the forum itself, it's just the only place I could find the article.
They will claim that Bush forced President Clinton to say those things and was giving instructions to the intel community as well. Bush must have been a VERY POWERFUL governor to do that.
You need to review your recent history. Bush administration officials, like Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld would insinuate that Iraq was responsible for 9-11 then back off than reinsinuate it and that happened over and over again.
Specifically, what did they say. Quotes and links please.

The majority of the American public and most of the Democrat leadership felt they justified it.

And remember, Bush was "dumb" but he was able to outsmart all these really smart people (some of whom had been supporting some sort of intervention for years prior to the attacks of 9/11).
All this wrangling over who, exactly, is to blame reinforces the fact that the war was a serious error that nobody wants to "own" anymore. That's quite a shift from the "Mission Accomplished" era when everyone who could was lining up to brag about their support for the war effort.
The lesson, perhaps, is not to be so credulous or gullible when politicians make claims about foreign countries. Often, they're misleading, if not flat-out wrong.

You know... doing a simple search can probably find you the old Meet the Press footage. Seriously, I am sure you remember all those comments...how could you not if you were informed and following the build up to the war.
The American public was sold a bag of goods they bought into. Who do you blame the victim or the perpetrator?
Why are you going to ignore the FACT that they were yelling it before the bus driver was even hired as the bus driver?
Why are you so intent of letting the bus driver off the hook? In a court of law, the bus driver is liable for negligence, if not criminally, if his conduct was intentional.

You made the assertion, so it's up to you to validate it.

I blame the perpetrator - bad intel.
You seem to ignore the perpetrator and use it as an opportunity to attack your enemy. In a way, you're kind of doing what you accuse Bush of doing.
BTW, what about those passenger yelling there is a road over the ditch before the driver is hired?
