I think Bush will have to resign over this. Seriously.

(CBS) In the aftermath of Sept. 11, President Bush ordered his then top anti-terrorism adviser to look for a link between Iraq and the attacks, despite being told there didn't seem to be one.
The charge comes from the advisor, Richard Clarke, in an interview airing Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.
...
Clarke also tells CBS News Correspondent Lesley Stahl that White House officials were tepid in their response when he urged them months before Sept. 11 to meet to discuss what he saw as a severe threat from al Qaeda.
"Frankly," he said, "I find it outrageous that the President is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We'll never know."
Clarke went on to say, "I think he's done a terrible job on the war against terrorism."
He's going to have to resign.
Everything his Administration has done since 9/11 is intended to cover their asses for having allowed 9/11 to happen. That's why we attacked Iraq, to remove any doubt about the Administration's anti-terrorism credentials.
So the invasion of Iraq was a bit like a criminal burning down a house to cover up a burglary.
