Well, I'm glad I prefaced that with "in my opinion", because I think what you
want me to say is "in your opinion!"

There were/are responsibilities up and down the chain of command, from the
police officer working the midnight desk up to and including the president.  I
don't recall that he's stated, at any time during this ordeal, that he didn't
accept responsibility for it.  That would be kinda stupid, wouldn't it?

What I was alluding to was, again in my opinion, there are some who I have
sufficient knowledge today that I would judge as being derelict in their
personal duties.  I wouldn't comdemn Chertoff simply because of his position as
head of DHS; however, if I were the president, I would condemn him because he
failed to provide me accurate information for decision-making.  That is one of
his (obviously too many) duties.  Fortunately for him, I'm not a judge!

Perhaps Bush was derelict in some presidential function.  If that's the case,
you can be sure there are enough opponents in the house and senate to identify
his errors!  As I stated earlier, should that happen, I will revise my opinion!
