Asking the public at the time? Yes.
That is why they were withdrawn.
You are C-in-C. That means the buck stops with you. Unfair of a thing it is considering the circumstance, your only redemption is the response....Which we can see has mad mixed results at best.

This is another of Trump’s “verbal kill shots” as one analyst put it. It reinforces already held negative views of Jeb Bush via W by stating an undeniable fact in response to a broad claim by Jeb. I think W did a terrific job in the WOT just like I think FDR did a good job after Dec. 7, 1941. Doesn’t change the reality of the attacks.
