Another anniversary that we shouldn't forget

Steve Benen reminds me of an anniversary that I, and most of the rest of the world, have forgotten about.

An ignoble anniversary:

The past few years, weve taken to highlighting certain anniversaries, many of them painful. The fifth anniversary of 9/11, the fourth anniversary of the Iraqi invasion, the third anniversary of the Mission Accomplished speech, etc.

It hasnt received much recognition in previous years, but today, Aug. 6, is a noteworthy anniversary as well six years ago today, the president, on vacation in Crawford, was handed an intelligence briefing document. It was titled, Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US.



And with the words "Okay, you've covered your ass now," our brilliant leader went back to his golf game. But it was all okay, because Bush had surrounded himself with smart people.
