They also blamed him for 911 which was just barley after he took office.

That's a bit of revisionist history. Fact is he was in office nearly 8 full months. He ignored the advice of experts as well as the exiting Clinton Administrations, and was pursuing the missile defense as the only way to protect America. He even ignore the PDB titled "Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S". Furthermore his administration tried to negociate a deal for a gas pipeline with the Taliban during the first 8 months of his administration. But still I don't blame him for the attacks, that fall directly on al Queda and the Taliban. However I don't think President Bush did enough to protect America from such threats and perhaps members of his administration simply didn't want too. They wanted a "New Pearl Harbor" to justify an invasion in the ME.
