9/11 happened under the Bush/Cheney watch. Are you suggesting that because there wasn't a second attack under their watch, they kept us safe?

I'm suggesting that the author ignores everything that happened after 9/11.. PERIOD, odd that he wants to ignore the last 7 years of the presidential term as it if never happened.

What happened after 9/11? The loss of the Rule of Law? An illegal war? Torture? A tanked economy?

Cant stay on topic can you, or are you trying to argue that the only reason we were not attacked isbecause our economy crashed?

So what, precisely, do you mean when you say the article ignored 7 years of the Bush administration? What should the article have discussed? That Bush/Cheney "kept us safe" for 7 years? How did they do that?

Paul Begala?

Democratic hack, partisan blowhard, complete obama flunky, attends regular meeting with Rahm, George and the rest of the clintonistas who are now obamunists - that guy?

Why should anyone care what this jerk has to say?

Under his former boss and his terrorist-emboldening policies, we were attacked over and over again, with no consequences for the perpetrators.

If your going to make an argument that the Bush / Cheney administration did not keep us safe, you dont discuss 1 year out of 8, he started way back during the "draft" and stopped discussing ANYTHING after 9/11.. thats just foolish and the whole story is for those who buy into the garbage without looking at facts that they were president for 8 years, not 1...

Begala is a fool--a partisan fool. What exactly happened before 9-11 that was so unsafe?
