No reasonable American blames Mr. Bush for the terrorist attacks, but that's a long way from thinking there was no other conceivable action he could have taken to prevent them. He could, for instance, have left his vacation in Texas after receiving that briefing memo entitled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." and rushed back to the White House, assembled all his top advisers and demanded to know what, in particular, was being done to screen airline passengers to make sure people who fit the airlines' threat profiles were being prevented from boarding American planes.

I must not be a "reasonable person" because the more I learn, the more I do in fact blame Bush for "9/11".
Maybe he couldn't have stopped the attacks BUT...with just a little "urgency" on his part, he just may have.
We will never know.
