Notice how starting a couple of weeks ago Bush is no longer claiming Clinton did nothing about terrorism? Now, Bush and company are claiming that Clinton did all he could, and that Bush was just doing what Clinton did.
This change is only to protect W. It is now obvious that Bush did nothing about terrorism, and Richard Clarke has blown the whistle on him. So Bush's story became "we kept Richard Clarke on, which means we were doing the same thing as Clinton," so now they have to claim Clinton was doing enough, to make it look as though they were.
The problem for Bush is, now that he's admitted Clinton did a good job, when it is proven that Bush failed, Bush's reputation gets destroyed, but Clinton's stays up.
Watch the election. Watch Clinton's image. There is the chance that both Kerry and Bush will be fighting to claim Clinton's legacy on terrorism. Wouldn't it be funny if Bush winds up undoing some of the neocon slanders of the best president of the last two millenia? (Well, of this one, anyway.)
