Well, let's see how many circuits I can blow with this change of topic: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 9:59 a.m. EDT Sen. Dodd: 9-11 Attacks Happened on Bush's Watch Since the 9-11 terrorist attacks happened on President Bush's watch, he should hold himself and his administration responsible - and stop trying to shift blame to Sens. Hillary Clinton and Tom Daschle, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd said Wednesday morning. "If I were the president - I mean, look, the president in this case, he ought to be angrier than any member of Congress," Sen. Dodd told radioman Don Imus. "Instead of pointing fingers at Tom Daschle or Hillary Clinton, I'd be bringing in these people [in my administration] and saying, 'Don't ever let this happen again. And as mad as they are at you, I'm a lot madder at you, 'cause ultimately it's on my watch. If something goes wrong, I'm going to be held accountable both today and historically. So don't ever let this happen again.'" Dodd added that "the idea of getting mad at a senator or congressman is a little misguided, in my view. You get mad at your own people." When Imus countered that Bush hadn't voiced any anger at Sens. Daschle or Clinton, Dodd replied: "Well, that was the sense of it all: that somehow the administration believed, you know, it was kind of blaming Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton. I mean, that's politics." Then Dodd reiterated his point that historians will hold the Bush administration accountable for the 9-11 attacks. "The issue here is that when history gets written, they're not going to talk about whether or not Tom Daschle or Hillary Clinton did something," he told Imus. "They're going to talk about the president's administration. What did they do on your watch?" newsmax.com
