Stupid Quote Part 2

I thought this was stupid when Bush said it, and I think it's stupid now that Condoleeza Rice is saying it. During her testimony, the National Security Advisor said "Had we thought that there was an attack coming in Washington or New York, we would have moved heaven and earth to try and stop it" (from the CNN.com article about Rice's testimony). Go ahead and look back at Bush's quote... now look at Rice's again... do they look a little similar? Do you think the administration has its talking points coordinated?

The Bushies need to quit denying that they were at fault long enough to realize that no one is accusing them of causing the 9/11 attacks, or even that they could have stopped them. The commission is merely trying to find out what went wrong.

To me it sounds like a teacher asking her class if they know what happened to the cookie that was on her desk, and the troublemaker in the class says "I didn't eat it!" (thus providing strong evidence that he did in fact eat the cookie) even though the teacher didn't ask "George... did you eat the cookie?"
