Yes, let’s deconstruct this turd’s excuse, a repeat of one we hear after every disaster mismanagement:
“It’s really easy to second-guess and suggest we didn’t do as much,” he said. “Why didn’t we have a protocol to protect the Twin Towers? Whoever thought that was going to happen? Whoever thought Hurricane Katrina was going to occur?
It’s a good question why we didn’t protect the Twin Towers. A previous attempt had been made, and GWB had been warned of the plan but didn’t interrupt his golf game to react (seems like foreshadowing), then afterward said he didn’t think anybody thought that the Twin Towers would be attacked. The failure of the levees in New Orleans was predicted in normal review, and just prior to Katrina. GWB’s response was “I don’t think anybody anticipated the levees failing.” See, most of us don’t think about this stuff so we hold these goobers to the same standard. But there is a very important distinction between them and us: preparing for disaster ISN’T OUR JOB, it is THEIR JOB.
