3. 911 changed everything. Without 911 Bush could have gotten
away with none of this. The Democrats are afraid to pull the troops out of Iraq because if they do and there is another terrorist attack Bush will say "See, I told you so". They are afraid to impeach him because if they do and there is another attack they will be seen as interfering with his ability to "fight the terrorists". Unless and until someone can implicate the Administration and the neocons in the planning or acquiescence in the 911 attack the Democrats will be essentially powerless to change anything.
Guiliani wouldn't even be running for President without 911. The only reason the Republicans are doing so poorly in the polls now is that the administration has been a total failure in fighting terrorism. They haven't a clue who perpetrated the Anthrax attacks a week after 911, they haven't a clue where Bin Laden is, the Taliban is on the resurgence in Afghanistan, etc.
