Today is the sixth anniversary of the greatest day in the Bush presidency. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 transformed Dubya from ineffective leader held in low regard to President 007, with a license to kill.
The first cabinet meeting of the Dubya era, held in Jan. 2001, addressed the policy that would define his presidency -- the invasion of Iraq and the deposing of Saddam Hussein, the man who dissed Dubya's Daddy. For the next eight months, Bush ignored domestic issues and repeated terror warnings in a fervent bid to get back at his enemy.
Sept. 11 gave Dubya the perfect excuse to do so. It was the answer to his prayers. Osama bin Laden gained a permanent spot on Dubya's Christmas card list.
About 3,000 Americans died in that attack. More than that have died in the Middle East since then. All so that Bush could emulate The Duke and adapt his best "war president" posture.
"Whaddaya think now, pilgrim? There's a new sheriff in town!"
The carnage continues to this day. Not that the Bushies give a damn. The Iraq situation is out of control, and they would rather leave the mess for the next administration to clean up.

That is what the sixth anniversary of Sept. 11 is REALLY about. Dubya needs to go to Ground Zero today and thank God for saving his political career. It took a lot of deaths to breath life into this truly inept man.
