A decade and a year later, still no one has spoken about the security failures of the Bush administration, failures which lead to the deaths of thousands right here at home. Who among them stood up to say 'I am responsible' as both Obama and Sec Clinton have done? Sec of State Rice played self defense 'no one could have imagined such a thing'. She took no responsibility and she did nto mention the warnings, and she never, ever sought to find the security gaps and fill them. She rationalized, painted word pictures. She was warned and she did nothing. So was Bush. Ashcroft read that PDB and stopped flying commercial jets.
