"Historical revisionism" my ass.

The 9/11 commission testimony clearly stated that there were NUMEROUS attempts by the outgoing administration to "pass along" information, individuals (in key positions, which who were ousted as part of "housecleaning"), policy and recommendations to the incoming administration. As a matter of routine snubbery, these were all ignored. As was the "Al Qaeda Determined to Attack United States" P.D.B., which was from Bush's OWN people, but cited information obtained under the Clinton administration.

The hell it wasn't actionable. ANY action would have been better than the "thumb-up-the-ass" response by Bush and a "it-ain't-important-y'all" smile as he drove off to Crawford. Hell, something so simple as a "let's put someone in charge of monitoring this guy directly and trying to keep tabs on his day-to-day activities then" would have been better.

9/11 was a direct failure of the Bush administration (and no other) to take seriously the threat OBL posed to the US. Period. Any claim to the contrary is your "historical revisionism" for you.
