Is today's media coverage of 9/11 going to affect the presidential campaign significantly?

The bombshell in the NY Times and all of the other media coverage is not very complimentary of GW Bush, at least the way I see it.

How do you view it, DUers?

They are talking about how we are 'safer' than we were eleven years ago.

This talk will help us.

9/11 happened on W's watch....he is responsible as he was in command, as is Obama is in command now and was the commander in chief in getting Bin Laden.

It was a serious security failure....but I have no compunction to experience that day as it happened. Once is more than enough.
