They Forgot

What they don't remember and in hindsight should have paid more attention to (but leave them alone, they're protecting your families):

1. Seeing Abramoff in the White House. Apparently he was there quite a lot. They were probably too busy lighting Chanukah candles to notice him. They don't remember talking about a war in Iraq too, but Abramoff talked about it a year before the war.
2. Foley's fun little emails. Who can remember stuff like that when the country's at war? During Clinton's presidency we had time to deal with an affair with a 22 year-old, but now that we're in an endless war on terror... By the way, all this pressure to protect people from terrorists is enough to send anyone to the demon alcohol, and then... Well, we've all hit on kids when we were drunk, haven't we? And now, more than ever.
3. Is that Tenet again? Him and his silly warnings... Who can concentrate on all this security stuff when we have Chanukah parties to organize and young pages to hire? It's understandable to forget warnings, even if we are talking about the "starkest warning they had given the White House" about the threat from Osama bin Laden.
4. Didn't they use to love Woodward?

That's understandable. I forget things too. I can get through a whole hour without thinking about the incompetence of my government. Then I remember again.
