There is something smelly about Roger’s argument about having George Bush as commander in chief rather than Al Gore after 9/11, He argues that Al Gore would not have had the metal to respond to the attack. But he ignores the fact that Bush allowed 9/11 to happen due to his ignorance and the ignoring of intelligence that said such an attack was possible. And Bush was also warned by the previous administration that al Qaeda was very dangerous.

If Al Gore had been president it is quite possible that the attacks of 9/11 would not have happened or may have been thwarted, because his administration would have been more competent and responsible with the intelligence they would have gathered.

It is quite likely that Bush deliberately ignored the possibility of such an attack so that he could have a pretext to attack Iraq, something that he and his ilk, which I believe includes Roger, were itching to do.
