Different standards for the mentally handicapped

Pandagon wants to know why we grade Clinton and Bush differently:

Okay, the most consistently and patently ridiculous reactions to the August 6 PDB is that it didn't specifically refer to the 9/11 attacks, and that it wasn't Bush's responsibility to press the intelligence agencies on the very real threats outlined in the PDB. It wasn't up to Bush to direct the intelligence services. It wasn't up to him to react to the threat that his intelligence services said al-Qaeda posed, it was up to everyone else to give him the plan.

If this is your position...do you have any credibility whatsoever when you criticize Clinton for not doing more? ...
