Playing the Blame Game - Who's Fault is 9/11?
One of the worst attributes of politicians is that they'll never accept the blame for anything. That's the case right now with our infamous President, George W. Bush. What has he gone and done now? Well there's been various testimony before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. This commission is designed to find out who we can point our fingers at and blame, even though the accident was three years ago, and humiliating the people responsible will not bring back the 3,000 lives lost on September 11th, 2001.
I've been following the updates on these hearings, as one of the people testifying is Richard Clarke an ex-counterterrorism chief for the White House. He recently published a book blasting both the Clinton and Bush administrations for not doing enough to protect the country from terrorists. From what I've seen of his arguments and testimonies, I believe the man, and hope he can help settle this issue once and for all... not to blame someone, but to get on with "business". As always, the article is available at MSNBC, entitled Government 'failed you,' Clarke Testifies.
I just want to remind anyone reading, the blame game won't heal the wounds. It's just a political game of vengeance. Whoever takes the bullet will be finished politically, and that's all that will be accomplished. ¶ 6:13 PM
