My read, not as sophisticated as Times, is that he is frustrated by not being able to do his job. Since GWB was President on 9-11-03 (I know, that's news) he takes it out on him.

I suspect if Al Gore had been President he would be taking it out on Gore.

While there wasn't the national will to invade countries, there was enough information, according to FBI sources, to prevent the WTC tragedy. Had anyone been interested in terrorism.

After all, it was Rice who said the domestic terrorism warnings "did not warrant further investigation".

BTW, isn't if funny she's not beating down the door to testify. And she's saying that not only did she and GWB do a good job on terrorism, but that the Clinton Administration did too.

There are a lot of words for a woman like that. They aren't fair, not because they aren't true, but because there aren't similar words for a man doing the same thing.
