I found the ads tasteless and insensitive.
Furthermore, if I was Bush I wouldn't have opened the Pandora's box.

Think about it. How about showing footage of the US president when he first heard the news (holding a book upside down), and going on to show how he was busy hiding in an airplane, far away from the people on the ground that needed him and so on, and so on.

Maybe other people will associate Bush with GETTING ATTACKED and realise that the risks of a second attack have increased, rather than decreased under his watch. Maybe it opens up the whole Iraq war and the daily casualty rate into the public domain.

This kind of thing can come back to bite you. I hope it does.
