If there is one man the Bush-haters hate more than Bush, it's John Ashcroft. To the left, he might as well be the devil himself. Anyway, Attorney General John Ashcroft testified yesterday before the 9/11 Blame Commission and dropped a bombshell. And it's about time somebody said it...these "hearings" have turned into a partisan debacle, so the Bush administration is fighting back.
Ashcroft blamed the Clinton administration for leaving America open to attack, saying that the attacks of 9/11 happened because "for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to our enemies." The Democrats on this commission and their buddies in the media want to start assigning blame, then let's put it where it belongs. Ashcroft went on to say that once in office, he moved to overturn a failed policy that was restricting American agents from killing Osama Bin Laden, allowing only capture. For eight long years, that was the Democratic approach...treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem. "Even if they could have penetrated Bin Laden's training camps, they would have needed a battery of lawyers" to take action, he said. This hits the nail right on the head folks. The media is roasting the Bush administration over some vague memo before 9/11 when the Clinton administration had Bin Laden in their sites on several occasions? Spare me.
If these people want to pin the 9/11 attacks on somebody, they're talking to the wrong administration.

Furthermore, Gorelick who is on the 9/11 Commission should resign. She should be a witness and testifying, instead of someone who is passing judgement. She was deputy director to Janet Reno under the Clinton Administration and re-enforced the handcuffs (wall) on the CIA and FBI resulting in them not sharing intel. She even put it in a memo which was introduced to the Commission today by FBI Director Mueller. End of story!!
