The blame for 9/11, along with the loss of jobs overseas, should be spread around.

It was not, and is not my job to understand and prevent attacks on this country. It is and was his job to do so. No we did not have many posts about terrorism before 9/11, as we had no reason to post, due to the assumption that our leadership was doing its job. Obviously this was a poor assumption.
With the resources at the disposal of the administration, one would hope that some level of competence was inherent in the function of our protectors.What this document(and many others) as well as the general failure of U.S foriegn policy has shown, is a level of incompetence that I personally find unacceptable in the people I pay to keep me safe, and run my country.
The endless sidestepping of transparancy, combined with outright disinformation has forced me to take back any respect I once held for this administration. With that lack of respect comes a very small window for acceptable error, regardless of political party or affiliation.
In short, They will get no breaks in my view, if simply because they are undeserving.The boy who cried wolf, lives in my whitehouse.
