9-11 happened on Bush's watch after he was warned of imminent Al Qaida attacks inside the US and did nothing. Why did Bush do nothing? Only he can explain but he was on vacation in Craford as he is now and didn't have time to pick up the phone. Like he doesn't have time to meet with war moms.

CLinton hadn't been in power in almost a year so blaming him is silly. The previous year, CLinton's people stopped the Milennium LAX bombing through vigilance. Clinton also personally stressed to Bush when GW came in to watch out for Al Qaida. Instead, Bush did nothing. Bush also did something awful, he sent messages to the FBI saying "lay off the Saudis in the US". As we know, most 9-11 hijackers were Saudis. Bush also disbanded the WH 24/7 Al Qaida desk run by Richard Clarke.

Here we go. Bush leading US to the same situation that Hitler led Germany into causing all the other world nations to unite against fascist Germany. IS US next? Cowbot ways just work in a Texas ranch and not on the world stage.

Former Cold War foes link up against US might
By Lindsay Beck in Beijing
August 19, 2005

China and Russia are holding their first joint military exercises aimed at boosting co-operation between the former adversaries and sending a message to the US about their growing influence.

The eight days of war games between the giant neighbours, who share a 4300-kilometre border, were starting yesterday in the Russian Far East port of Vladivostok but will mainly take place in and around China's Shandong peninsula.

"The main target is the United States. Both sides want to improve their position for bargaining in terms of security, politics and economics," said Jin Canrong, a professor of international relations at the People's University of China.
