Blame Game Backfiring on Republicans?

[Patriot Games]

Mike Allen notes that the GOP is blaming the Obama administration for
the failed Christmas Day airplane attack. "But Republican lawmakers,
candidates, pundits and commentators -- and the Bush administration --
blamed the CLINTON administration for 9/11."

Flashback to September 2006, Secretary of State Rice told the New York
Post editorial board: "Nobody organized this country or the
international community to fight the terrorist threat that was upon us
until 9/11... We just weren't organized as a country either domestically
or as a leader internationally. But what we did in the eight months was
at least as aggressive as what the Clinton Administration did in the
preceding years... We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al
Qaeda."

That logic would mean the Bush administration is also culpable for the
intelligence failures discovered over the last week.
