all but ignores this aspect of the story.

It also cuts away immediately from the footage of Bush staring into headlights after being told "the country is under attack." He sat there for several minutes too stunned and or vapid to move. In the documentary this too isn't even mentioned--all of which works to make Bush and his administration seem far less incompetent and complacent.

And it's not like this was some momentary lapse, or that he and his administration learned from this mistake. The catastrophic response to Katrina years later demonstrated the same sloppy preparation and incompetent follow-through.

How quickly so many in the media want us all to forget. Sadly, it will probably work, people too young or too detached to remember these details will remain entirely unaware of these realities.
