agreed - the blame game is a non-issue, imo. there is plenty of culpability for intelligence failures in both the current and previous administrations.
that being said, Bush could have scored some points last night by accepting responsibility for this catastrophic event, by virtue of the fact that it happened on his watch. i recall Reagan accepting responsibility for the terrorist bombing deaths of 241 Marines in Beruit in the 80's, and he looked good doing it.
it's the stand-up thing to do
