The Islamic terror attack on the magazine Charlie Hebdo was carried out by Muslim criminals who were apparently trained in Yemen. Meanwhile, national security officials are warning of an imminent threat to Europe and the United States from jihadi soldiers who are returning from the wars in Syria and Iraq. According to the head of the FBI and other first responders there is no way to stop their re-entry because, after all, they have American passports. Nor is there any way to stop them in Syria and Iraq since Obama has surrendered both countries to our enemies. The Democratic mayor of New York — ground zero for the Islamic War — has even stopped the surveillance of jihadi mosques, the breeding grounds for domestic “lone wolves.” And with our southern border shredded by Obama and the Democrats it’s not going to be difficult even for foreign jihadis to get to their infidel targets. Of course, Obama doesn’t like the word “terror” to begin with, let alone “Islamic terror.” Thanks to him, the Islamic war against the United States is officially referred to as an “overseas contingency operation,” while domestic Islamic mayhem is filed under the category: “workplace violence.”
Fourteen years after 9/11 it is tragically clear that President Bush was right about the threat we faced and Democrats suicidally wrong. The 9/11 attacks were indeed a salvo in the war Islamists have declared on us but even now, fourteen years later, Democrats still want to regard such attacks as acts of individual criminality, and deal with them through the legal justice system, affording American rights to those who want to destroy American rights. Why, you may ask yourself, is the Boston Marathon bomber going to be tried in a criminal court of law, where he will be able to make propaganda for his cause underwritten by his victims? Because Democrats want it that way. It shows we’re superior to everybody else.
Nine days after 9/11 President Bush addressed both houses of Congress to outline his response to the terror attacks. This is what he said about states that harbor Islamic terrorists, like Yemen and Syria:
We will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
When the president had completed his remarks, these were precisely the sentences that were singled out for attack by the political left. To progressives Bush was a tyrant in the making and they took his warning personally: “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” Unfortunately, even though Bush was not thinking of them in uttering these words, he might as well have been. When Bush decided to take on the terrorist-supporting, UN-defying regime of Saddam Hussein, Democrats went into full war mode against him, against the “war on terror” and against America’s mission to defeat the al-Qaeda armies that had assembled in Iraq. Their sabotage of the war went on for five years, making it impossible for Bush to take on the terror-supporting regimes in Syria, Iran and elsewhere.
The Obama regime is the product of this momentous Democratic defection from America’s purposes, from a robust defense of the American homeland, and from a militant response to the war that Islamists have declared on us. Why is there still a free flow of immigration from nations, like Yemen, that support or tolerate the Islamist armies ranged against us? Why isn’t our southern border secure? It is because the Obama regime, with support from Democrats in Congress, regards security measures against terror supporting states to be “Islamophobic,” and regards securing our southern border to be xenophobic. Why isn’t Obama embracing General Sisi and an Egyptian regime that has declared the Islamists to be enemies of the Islamic world? It is because Obama is committed to the Muslim Brotherhood – the fount of al-Qaeda – and against this same Egyptian regime.
Will the massacre in Paris — a repellent assault on free speech in the name of the “Prophet Mohammed” — wake up the Democrats and the Obama White House, and end their appeasement of Islamic terror? Unfortunately this is unlikely. Their leader is a lifetime, America-despising radical who has shown little appetite for changing course. It remains to be seen whether other Democrats will attribute their recent electoral drubbing to the weak-kneed security policies of the appeaser-in-chief, and find the voice to oppose him. But if they don’t, it is a safe bet that this country is in for some bloody consequences.
This was in the middle of Bush's presidency....
Starting in 2004 they were pouring in by the tens of thousands...
In 2006 Bush also said in a speech, that if we did not leave enough forces in Iraq, then we should expect that a Caliphate would fill that gap....that was prophetic.
Hey the Saudi’s are your best friend as long as there is money to be made, but don’t turn your back.
Latest media meme: “Bush good.”
Interesting. Wonder why that could be...
BS. Islam is not a religion of peace.
“David, did you forget when he said, “Islam is a religion of peace”?
It all went wrong right there, possibly the stupidest words ever uttered by any president.
And I like Bush, but that just set the West on the wrong path.
And that is all that I have said here.
No, he wasn’t. We should have eliminated afcrapistan entirely. Then moved on and destroyed the next muzzie shithole until the muzzie world surrendered, or we ran out of vermin to kill.
Nuff said.

Bush was right when he called them “Islamofascists.”
He went wrong when he caved in to pressure, and stopped called them “Islamofascists.”
He went even further wrong when he called Islam “a religion of peace.”
Unlike Soetoro, however, Bush was not a Muslim Brotherhood operative.
Maybe it was his Texas twang or just my imagination but I always thought he was saying; “Islam is a religion of feces”.
B^)
I like Bush and was behind his war but he never protected or helped the Christian community in Iraq. He should have given them asylum and disallowed all muslim immigrants here until the long war was over. I was deeply disappointed in his leadership for this reason.
Each one of the following is a quote of GW Bush’s. I saw them in an article and ran each one through google to find a source and make sure that he actually said it. I found them all:
“Islam is a religion of love, not hate.”
“The Muslim religion is a peaceful religion. Islam is peace.”
“We know Islam is a religion that teaches love and peace and compassion.”
“It should be clear to all that Islam, the faith of one-fifth of humanity, is consistent with democratic rule.”
“I pray to the same God as a Muslim prays.”
“The faith of Islam teaches moral responsibility that ennobles men and women and forbids the shedding of innocent blood.”
“Islam is a faith that brings comfort to people. It inspires them to lead lives based on honesty and justice and compassion.”
“Christians and Jews and Muslims have too often been divided by old suspicions, but we are called to act as what we are: the sons and daughters of Abraham.”
“America has a vibrant and important and dynamic Muslim faith tradition.”
“There are millions of good Americans who practice the Muslim faith who love their country as much as I love the country, who salute the flag as strongly as I salute the flag.”
“People who go to mosques, you know, need to be — Americans need to be viewed as equally American as their neighbor.”
“Mosques provide great hope for people who wonder whether America is meant for them.”
“I want people to understand that one of the great freedoms in America is the right for people to worship any way they see fit. If you’re a Muslim, an agnostic, a Christian, a Jew, a Hindu, you’re equally American.”
There’s no doubt in my mind George Bush is a deceiver. He sure fooled me.
He said “I pray to the same God as a Muslim prays.” Personally, as a Christian, I pray to Jesus. I assume W knows who he’s talking about when he says “Lord”. Muslims do NOT pray to Jesus. They believe Jesus was a prophet and nothing more. This shows W is either as dumb as the liberals say, he’s lost or he’s a fraud.
The Crown Prince knows W doesn’t wipe his ass with his hands.
