++The Donald got more fine-tuned in his critique of W about 9/11 and its aftermath. I was struck by the Donald mentioning that George Tenet had warned W about the attacks and his statement that the Iraq War had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMDs. The Donald even went into the FBI-CIA conflict at that time. In my opinion, it is about time the GOP cope with his.
++Meanwhile JEB! claims that Clinton went after bin Laden wrong and that Clinton was responsible for the recession. Notice he didn't mention which recession. Apologists for W always suggest 9/11 happened just as W took office--obviously not true but repeated enough people believe it. No mention is ever made that Richard Bruce Cheney was the head of the terrorism task force and told CIA deputy director Dick Morell that Bin Laden was bluffing.
++This all seems like getting into the weeds but 9/11 and its aftermath has defined 21st Century America. It seems that JEB! general election campaign will be for another term for W and will be waged against Bill Clinton. The trouble with that is that Bill Clinton is around to defend himself and can articulate a rebuttal. The other strange aspect is that Bill Clinton is now one of the most respected former Presidents having overcome the late 90s scandals. JEB! wants to run against a male, not Hillary Clinton.
