Frank Rich starts slowly this week
NOT until 2004 could the 9/11 commission at last reveal the title of the intelligence briefing President Bush ignored on Aug. 6, 2001, in Crawford: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” No wonder John McCain called for a new “9/11 commission” to “get to the bottom” of 9/14, when the collapse of Lehman Brothers set off another kind of blood bath in Lower Manhattan. Put a slo-mo Beltway panel in charge, and Election Day will be ancient history before we get to the bottom of just how little he and the president did to defend America against a devastating new threat on their watch.But he soon builds up a full head of steam as he delineates just why electing the Old Fart would be something like re-electing Herbert Hoover back in 1932. A MUST READ and don't forget to follow his links for all the stuff you won't find on cable news.
