BUSH CAN'T GET A BREAK

Instapundit (Libertarian)
Now he's being blamed for not invading Afghanistan in 1998!

Here's the relevant passage from MSNBC:

The report revealed that in a previously undisclosed secret diplomatic mission, Saudi Arabia won a commitment from the Taliban to expel bin Laden in 1998. But a clash between the Taliban’s leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, and Saudi officials scuttled the arrangement, and Bush did not follow up.
Damn him -- governing Texas while Rome burned! Why didn't he send the Texas Rangers to finish off Bin Laden?...

...It seems like people are trying awfully hard to make it sound as if all this stuff happened on Bush's watch. It's not as if anybody has the storyline on this figured out from the get-go or anything...

Coming soon: Complaints about why the Bush Administration didn't do anything to prevent the assassination attempt on Harry Truman at Blair House. And what about the Maine, huh? Why didn't Bush do something about that?
