BushCo Stonewalls 9/11 Commission

9/11 Panel Seeks Extension

Administration officials have acknowledged concern that Democrats - and especially the Democratic nominee for president - will try to make use of the report's findings to embarrass Bush, especially if the report contains any suggestion that the White House failed to act before Sept. 11 on intelligence suggesting that a catastrophic attack might be imminent.

Well, if he failed to stop an imminent terrorist attack and he had the data to do so, he should be embarrassed. And he should be ousted. This isn't some conspiracy to smear a capable president, it's a report on just how incapable the pResident has been on this front.

"It smacks of politics to put out a report like this in the middle of a presidential campaign," said a senior Republican congressional aide, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The Democrats will spin and spin."

Somebody please remind this meat-head that he's a politician. That Bush is a politician. The the congress person for whom this aide works is a politician. That the business of politicians is politics and if he doesn't like it, he should please find another line of work.
