Are Democratic candidates ignoring some points that undermine what the GOP thinks are its strengths?
Some people know that Bush was warned in the PDB of 8-6-01 about the determination of Al Quaeda to attack the U.S. specifically through hijackings and targeting NYC landmarks. Do they also know that the CIA went to Crawford and talked to Bush to emphasize their concerns?
And how many people know that a year later, also in Crawford, Saudi Arabia urged Bush to address the Iraq WMD issue through the UN and diplomacy? They specifically pleaded with Bush not to risk the lives of American soldiers. How many people even remember now that it was the US that kicked out the UN inspectors?
