Mitch McConnell Admits Bush/Cheney Complacency Allowed 9/11 To Happen!



http://thinkprogress.org/security/2013/04/16/1872941/mcconnell-boston-complacent/

MCCONNELL: On 9/11 we forever disabused of the notion that attacks, like the one that rocked Boston yesterday ,only happen on the field of battle or in distant countries. With the passage of time, however, and the vigilant efforts of our military, intelligence and law enforcement professionals, I think it’s safe to say that for many, the complacency that prevailed prior to September 11th has actually returned. And so we are newly reminded that serious threats to our way of life remain. And today again we recommit ourselves to the fight against terrorism at home and abroad.

Whom was president and vice president before 9/11 and ignored warnings bin Laden determined to attack?

That's the right-wing meme I heard after 9/11, anyway.

"Bush wasn't in office long enough to clean up the mess Clinton left blah blah blah"

Always demonstrating their firm belief in "personal responsibility," they are.
