Just a reminder as we approach the 2012 elections. The largest terrorist attack on the United States happened on a Republicans watch.
And, it had been in the planning for several years prior. So, what's your point?

The 'cons'?

The actual event took place 'on Bush's watch. It was planned during Clintons. Everyone knows this.

"Clinton (didn't do this) and that led to 9/11"
"Clinton (did this) and that led to 9/11"
"Bush kept us safe"
"Bush kept us safe after 9/11"
And the whopper that's not really common but I'm going to add anyway
"There were no attacks on Bush's watch"
Can you name some domestic terrorist attacks other than 9/11 during Bush's term? I can't think of any.

I'm not saying this is a conspiracy by the cons in that they all sat around a big table nodding and winking. But they would love for it to happen and if the current rhetoric continues uncontested it will happen.
Who are 'the cons'? And exactly what is your point here. Do you have one?
Oh, I get it! You are blaming Bush for 9/11!!!! Of course you are! Just like Obama blaming Bush for the economy, the Obama economy.
They would have gone a different route under Al Gore... Cap and Trade...
Bush was part of the Cheney - Haliburton War Machine...
so Cap & Trade would have stopped 9-11, your dellsional.
And OKC Bombing, US Embassy Bombings, hte ATL Atlanta Bombings all happend under Clintons Watch.

Brilliant.
WW2 happened on "FDR's watch"
Vietnam happened on "LBJ's watch"
Korea happened on "Truman's watch"
WW1 happened on "Wilson's watch"
the Civil War happened on "Lincoln's watch"
the Spanish American war happened on "McKinley's watch"
The common sense of liberals is nonsense. I have no idea exactly what the OP is suggesting, as his course of logic is somewhat convoluted to even understand the basis for his "contention".
