According to the Chronology Bush* had nothing to do with it until May 28th, 2001. Now, recall, when 9-11 occurred "they" hadn't been in office long enough to do anything to detect the Bin Laden threat. The economy was going all to hell, but there was no time to have done anything there. How the hell did George* do a damn thing to help this project along except take his crayon up to sign the bill?


May 21-22 - The House and Senate pass legislation directing that the memorial be constructed expeditiously at the dedicated Rainbow Pool site on the National Mall in a manner consistent with previous approvals and permits. President Bush signed the legislation into law (Public Law 107-11) on Memorial Day, May 28th.
