Responding to questions last night, President Bush said he couldn’t cite any mistakes or failures of his as President.
Separately, Attorney-General John Ashcroft blamed the Clinton Administration for counter-terrorism failures, despite his having rejected extra funding for anti-terrorism on 9/10/04. Louis Freeh blamed inadequate budget. Janet Reno blamed the FBI.
Last week, Condoleeza Rice said it wasn’t the Bush Administration’s fault.
Perfect.
The only witness to take any responsibility at all has been Richard Clarke. I think I will re-read his book a little less sceptically.
