Unlike how President Obama was treated during and after the Benghazi assault and the Arab riots of 2012.
Ahh, yes. Obama is always the victim. What you don't realize is that Bush didn't blame 9-11 on a video. He blamed it on terrorists.
What you don't realize is that all of the countries that were hosts to these riots were praised as success stories, but are now in turmoil and under threat from ISIS.
Hindsight is 20/20. For example we now know that President Bush was doing his best to blame it on Iraq from day 1. But that doesn't change the objective view that I, like most Americans stood behind the president on that day in the objective to .......
We know no such thing. Bush never blamed 9/11 on Iraq. Only idiots think that.
th demands for an investigation of the use or misuse of intelligence by the Bush administration mounting steadily, it seems clear that key officials and their conservative allies decided to use the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as a pretext for war against Iraq within hours of the atrocities.
Within the administration, the principals appear to have included Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Vice President Dick Cheney, and his national security adviser, I. Lewis Libby, among others in key posts in the National Security Council and the State Department.
Outside the administration, key figures included close friends of both Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld, including Richard Perle, former CIA chief James Woolsey -- both members of Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board (DPB); Frank Gaffney, head of the arms-industry-funded Center for Security Policy; and William Kristol, editor of Rupert Murdoch-owned Weekly Standard and chairman of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), among others.
PNAC, which is based on the fifth floor of ultra-conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) building, in downtown Washington, was founded in 1997 with a statement of principles calling for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity," signed by 25 prominent neo-conservatives and right-wingers, including Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney and Libby, as well as several other senior Bush administration officials.
A close examination of the public record indicates that all of these individuals -- both in and outside the administration -- were actively preparing the ground within days, even hours, after the 9/11 attacks for an eventual attack on Iraq, whether or not it had any role in the attacks or any connection to al Qaeda.
