Yes, thank you. Everything post-9/11 was already on the table including DHS and the invasion of Iraq. 9/11 was for the Bush administration the simply a huge amount of grease on that wheel.

- tsotha 13y agoBush didn't want to create the DHS. He was forced to by the "something must be done" crowd.
- homosaur 13y agoBush didn't want to wipe his butt without permission. That's what happens when you elect a weak leader with no experience and it's at the root of what's happening now with Obama. These guys were and are over their heads. It took Bush 6 years to grow a pair and actually stand up to Cheney. In a vacuum of leadership, stronger personalities dominate. Say what you will about that horrible troll monster, Cheney does not want for personality.
- tsotha 13y agoBush wasn't a weak leader. But he was a politician, and the people were demanding Something Be Done. I think he decided it doesn't matter that much whether or not yet another agency is created.
