Why the PDB is going to save Bush's ass. [View All]

[grytpype]

I haven't seen the PDB yet, but according to CNN, the report contains a fact that is going to save President Gump's ass:

A report that at least 70 FBI investigations were under way in 2001 regarding possible al Qaeda cells/terrorist-related operations in the United States.

I think Dear Leader can plausibly say that with 70 FBI investigations going on, it looked to him like a lot was being done about the Al Qaeda problem. Seventy investigations does sound like a lot.

Update: I'm asking whether the PDB makes Bush look better or worse, and I still think it's a net positive. Which is what one of the Dem Commissioners said, he couldn't understand why they were withholding it.

If you read my diary post, you'll see I think counterterrorism was a low priority for the Bush administration due to the LIHOP Hypothesis (Weak Version). Even so, the PDB tends to disprove the LIHOP Hypotheses (Strong Version).
