9/11 and presidential politics

I haven’t seen the Bush campaign video but today I was informed by Dean Esmay that the offending reference to 9/11 is about two seconds long. No matter: it’s transparently obvious that the Democrats had these attacks all lined up and they weren’t going to wait for a more overt reference to roll out the “exploitation” charge. As both Dean and the WSJ Opinion Journal note, the Democrats’ criticism reveals more about their vulnerability on national security issues than anything else.
