Do you remember Bush's actions before 9/11 ??

[kentuck]

He was a man that appeared to think his job was mostly ceremonial. His focus was on paying back his right-wing supporters with taxcuts and spending the surplus on a new missile defense. He was totally uninvolved in the affairs of the Middle East - at least, we know he was uninvolved in the Israel/Palestine problem.

And who can forget the number of days he had been on vacation. Up to 9/11, he was setting the all-time record for time off from his job. He was the CEO and all his underlings, especially Dick Cheney, would take care of the business. He was just a spokesman for the company.

Of course, he did have a couple of incidents that cut into his time off. The submarine with all the Enron and energy people aboard had emerged too quickly and had submerged a boatload of Japanese students, and much of the information about that "tour" was quickly swept under the rug.

Then, there was the spy plane that was forced down near China and torn apart by the Chinese. Finally, he was able to get his good friend, Vladimir Putin, to bring the parts back to America on a Russian transport. It was not a proud moment for Dubya. But then, it was time to go back to the ranch and do a little more fundraising for the next election.
