For starters, perpetuated the grounding of aircraft in the name of stopping glowbull warming.
"Never let a crisis go to waste".
The first thing this POS did was get his buddies in the Bin Laden family on a plane and out of here.
He was so full of BS. There was nothing in Iraq, and Afghanistan was a waste of lives and money that accomplished nothing. The day we left more dead Americans, more dead innocent people, and we left them with billions in American weaponry. He never even once criticized Biden for his actions there.
You go ahead and speak of his finer moments. I used to think he was okay until I opened my eyes.
Yeah, I wish I had a few pairs of shoes to lob at that phony backstabbing dirtbag.
I have come full circle on 911 and now believe it was an inside job.
Never let a crisis go to waste, and if you don’t have enough crises, manufacture a few.
And Bin Laden was in Pock-ee-stan, not Afghanistan.
This article is about George W ‘religion of peace’ Bush ?
The one who signed off on the TSA nazis and the rest of the ‘patriot act’ fustercluck ?
That GWB ?
Ray Epps should give us all a little insight on the way these people operate
Don’t be fooled, the Rats wanted that war as much as the Republicans did, but they had to play to their base.
what benefits did the USA receive when we went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan?
I have come to loathe him but in that moment was grateful the opportunist fool Gore was not POTUS. That part has not changed. While the smoke was rising many rats were trying to lay blame on us. Gore was probably one of them
I don’t believe the conspiracy theories. But the fact is, he was on the job for 9 months, that was plenty of time to fix the problems, they had to know there were serious issues. Too many people knew about them.
And how the heck did they not know those planes were hijacked until after the fact?
Nothing fine about this wretched man embracing the leftist tactic of never letting a good crisis go to waste.
The Military-Industrial Complex sure benefitted.
Ok, there we have it.
On Free Republic, we are not allowed to say anything favorable about George W. Bush. Got it.
“But the fact is, he was on the job for 9 months, that was plenty of time to fix the problems, they had to know there were serious issues.”
And the problem was, the intelligence community who helped stage not only the attack but the response as well.
2nd background check for my CCW.
“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.” President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.” President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.
“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.” Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.
“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.” Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.” Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.
“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.
“Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.” Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.
“There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.” Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001.
“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.” Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.” Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.” Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seing and developing weapons of mass destruction.” Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.
“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons...” Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.
“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.” Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.
“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have alway s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.” Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,
“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do.” Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.” Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. “[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ... Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003.

No one has denied you that right to place Bush on a pedastal.
Likewise a response is also warrented!
Bush was a disgraceful President. His legacy is
1) the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,
2) the War in Iraq and the “weapons of mass destruction” lies fed to the American public,
3) the War in Afghanistan
4) the Patriot Act that legalized the government spying on Americans without warrants,
5) and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, responsible among other things, with physically frisking every American who board commercial aircrafts.
Bush’s presidency was a nightmare for the United States.
I am not certain about any theories of that day. The official version is BS.
I would like to not believe our government(deep State) would do such a thing, but after covid, I am inclined to believe the worst.
Right before this happened our dear boy GWB was very engaged with Vincente Fox working on the set up of the NAU.
Even then, the Bush family was pushing the stages of the Great Reset for the NWO.
Heck, I just think it was nice to make note of, and discuss an iconic moment during the horrors of 9/11, without everyone getting into their reasons for hatred of Bush.
Everyone has their own opinions. Of that we can all agree.
