Maybe they did.
With the constant drone around here and in the media- "It happened on his [Bush's] watch" mabey they did think Clinton would get off easy.(no pun intended)
Whenever anyone tried to point out that the planning and training for 911 happened while Clinton was in office or the fact that we had numerous attacks against the US including WTC93 while he was in office, they were blasted with a corus of " 911 was on his watch!"
What is that saying...say something often enough?
