Surefire way to dismantle the "local gov's fault" spin.

If anyone says this to you, ask them if local government is responsible for preventing disasters, why did New York allow 9/11 to happen? After all, they knew it was a possibility, and there'd been a bombing at the WTC before. Are the people who died in the towers to blame for continuing to work in a building that was a target before?

You'll probably not get a response beyong foaming and sputtering, but it might make them realize how stupid this line of spin is when you compare it to the GOP's favorite wank fantasy of 9/11.

1. There is only ONE person who could have helped those

trapped Americans. He is the ONE person that has the power to summon the army, the navy, the air force and that is GEORGE W BUSH.
The buck stops at Bush.
