He is the predecessor in the position of President. As little as I blame one Person (Bush) for the lack of prevention, there has been a considerable amount of personell left over and files left for the new administration. After all none of the intelligence services changed heads and even the terror czar stayed the same. What excuse is next?
I for one believe that there have been shortcomings in the Clinton administration (like ANY administration had them), however, I do not believe he is to be blamed that 9/11 happened as it did happen as Clinton was gone 233 days! Did his administration make mistakes? Yes. Are they responsible for 9/11? By far not.
Bush was briefed several times throughout the summer on an Al-Quaida attack and did not do a damn thing about anything (other than move the White House to a hightened state of alert).
I can not find any job where "I was only in office for 233 days" is a valid excuse for not preventing something as significant happens as 9/11! I guess President of the US of A is an exclusion!
