Why isn't Bush held responsible for 9/11, and Clinton also?

Question

i mean for ALL OF THE "FAILURES" that caused it to happen

If we don't hold them responsible, then they won't be careful to stop these sort of things from happening in the future! especially if he gets political gain from these attacks!

Answer 1

Even though Bush has refused to make parts of the 9-11 report public, one thing is startlingly clear: The U.S. government had received repeated warnings of impending attacks—and attacks using planes directed at New York and Washington—for several years. The government never told us about what it knew was coming.

Answer 2

I think a good # of people plame them(and government in general. But the news keeps quiet about it because they know the gov is watching them.... and most of the news networks are owned by Rupert Murdok.

Most in the government do not care about we, the people. We need to remove them, and put some more in prison. How "great" is a country that allows their gov to break the law over and over?

To anti-clinton goons: Clinton had weekly meetings on the terrorist threat. He also had a republican congress.
When Bush became pres, he dropped the meetings.

Answer 3

Even the people we see fit to elect to the highest office in the land aren't perfect. It may /seem/ obvious, now, how 9/11 could have been prevented, but it wasn't obvious then.

Rather than trying to hold your elected leaders responsible for an attack on your country, try holding the attackers responsible.

Answer 4

yes there were 8 years of clinton, but he didn't have Osma to deal with that entire 8 years. And the fact Bush was in office for 9 months, and on vacation for most of that, and his staff told of threats to this country I think some blame can be laid at bush's feet too...

Answer 5

We just had 8 years of BillyBob - Bush hadn't been in that long. While I think George is a moron, it's not because of 9/11. He is an idiot because of amnesty!

Answer 6

First of all Clinton wasn't president nor did he cause unfavorable attitudes toward the U.S have u notice that during Clinton there wasn't a war over imaginary wmds.
And yes Bush should have been accountable but since so many Americans loved him at the time he was given little blame. Thank god for Michael Moore

Answer 7

why not hold the Airport security responsible?

what is it that some just don't comprehend that terrorists
plan and commit acts to strike fear...even if they don't do damage or kill anyone?

Isn't the people that took over the planes even up for consideration?... are you even responsible for anything
you decide to do?..

Answer 8

Why should he be? The preparations for 9/11 took place on Clinton's watch and Clinton did nothing. (Hey! That's my list! Glad somebody else copied it and uses it when applicable!)

Answer 9

yo dumbo Bush is not running for any office!You want to place blame -place it on the liberal fools that gutted the military,the cia and all our military assets.clinton was too busy having fun to worry about threats.

Answer 10

bush wasnt held responsible because he had six months in office and clinton had eight years to fix it. when you consider what else clinton wasnt held responsible for it seems clear that liberals go by a whole different set of rules than WORKING conservatives.
