The 911 Issue SHOULD be a "Blame-Game"
Republicans criticize the 911 Hearings tone and tenor as a blame game. Well, they are right - it is and should be a blame game.

With Bush claiming he is responsible for keeping us safe after 911, we are entitled to fully explore the entire issue. No free ride on this one!

1. I think it should be a "Responsibility-Game"...
Blame is such a divisive words and we know how the right-wing loves to use words as weapons. However, I think we should hold people responsible for breakdowns in intelligence, failure of leadership, whatever...We should call for immediate disclosure of all the facts that this Adminsitration is withholding from the Commission. Someone besides Dick Cheney and George Bush need to know what is going on with our country. They cannot be trusted.

6. Republicans are pansies when you corner them in their home court.
They're like bullies. You go on their side of the field and suddenly the rules change. No holds bar on the attack, but when they're playing defense, suddenly you find twenty referees crowding the field.

3. Well no matter what the news tells me
someone fail at their job description and I want to know who. You shouldn't accept a high position in government if you can't even read the job opening.

4. Not only keeping us safe AFTER 9/11.............
they claim that they did *everything they could* BEFORE 9/11. Utter hogwash.
Blame, responsibility........these are words that are foreign to Bush et al. They never take responsibility and always blame someone else for their shortcomings.
The Republicans on the commission seem to be just as or more partisan in their questions and remarks as the Democrats.
How do these people sleep at night, knowing the hypocrisy they live by? Is there no shame? Is there not one iota of decency within these people?
