3. I posted this at the site. We'll have to see if they end up actually posting it.

Bush kept us safe until exactly September 11, 2001, so the headline of the Noonan opinion piece is a misnomer to begin with. Tragically, Iraq was George Bush's private war, fought at a great price to this nation; it bankrupted us in more ways than one. In the end, it is Barack Obama who will have to fight the war that George Bush abandoned; the war that if fought correctly might have made us safer. It is in fact, this overarching point that Mr. graham makes in the mentioned report. Those are the facts, while "At least Bush kept us safe" is a fiction. Without truth, we are even less safe still. Ms. Noonan ought to have learned this lesson by now.
