Bush just said we shouldn't forget the"lessons of Sept 11th"
It's not the first time I have heard him say that.

So, what in the Hell are the lessons of September 11th?
And why do these so called "lessons" mean anyone should vote for him?

2. That may be the lesson we learned, but what does he mean?
"Next time, I won't sit on my ass for seven minutes?"

4. Just some of the lessons are:
Never let an Idiot command the country
Never let an Idiot be the National Security Advisor
If the (Evil) Attorney General stops flying Commercially, demand why

8. The lesson is that you can be an incompetent fool as president,
have a huge fuckup happen on your watch that you did nothing to try to stop, convince the American people that somehow they should be grateful for such a huge fuckup, and still 3 years later, have almost half the American people still willing to give you the job for four more years.

There is hope for imbeciles in high places.

10. Lessons like,... don't blow off the
presidential daily briefs that say "Bin Laden determined to strike inside the U.S.". Those kind of lessons?
