Democratic Underground - John Kerry on 9/11 widows and Anne Coulter

Found this thread in GD and I thought it would present a good opportunity for discussion in this forum.

I found this paragraph particularly interesting:

The tragedy of this whole thing goes far beyond what Coulter said -- it's that everything these women have been fighting for since September 11, 2001, still is not done. Countless recommendations made by the 9/11 Commission still aren't implemented. First President Bush resisted the creation of the 9/11 Commission, then he put up road blocks to its investigation, and still today he has failed to implement all its recommendations. We don't have the port security the 9/11 Commission said we need. We don't have the border security the 9/11 Commission said we need. And Osama bin Laden remains on the loose -- while we've got 132,000 troops bogged down in Iraq who should be hunting down this mass murderer.Text

Why did Bush resist the creation of the Commission, and then why did he put up roadblocks to the investigation? What was he trying to hide?

Would he have behaved this way if the only responsibility his administration had concerning the attacks was incompetence?

It's possible, but, somehow, I don't think so.
