It’s the title of a sex ad on Craigslist.

before or after? You do realize that Clinton’s stupidity and hiding of the information that would have saved the 9/11 attacks was the culprit as well?

Bush did not stop the enemy from living with us. He never stopped Muslim immigration.

I’m not really interested in rehashing the Iraq war. I’m only pointing out that Jeb was incorrect and I’m calling him on it. Trump went easy on him. Pretty sure Hillary would have crushed his testicles when he said that.

Jeb is a horrible candidate, I can't stand him, fortunately he's doing a great job of self immolation with his campaign.

That being said, posting leftist drivel (without a barf alert) about his brother from an out of control leftist is beyond wrong.

In case you haven’t noticed, there has been an exponential uptick since BO lost Syria and Iraq to ISIS. Bush Doctrine was much preferable. Take the fight to the enemy. Unfortunately, BO threw it all away. Like Jimmy, he has a lot of blood on his hands.

Yea, well I don’t like strip searching grandmas at the airport either, Jebbie.

Your brother fell for the BS of the Patriot Act as well as the crap fed to him about the financial sector in 08. His incompetence brought on what we have now.

You can't blame W for 9/11 what BS Everyone at Fox gives Carly a winner of the debate. Donor class paid the pundits not the candidates She lost and was pushy

The debate was a gigantic draw....no one won, no one lost.

I didn’t say it was his fault. I just said that Jeb doesn’t get to say that his brother “kept us safe” when 3,000 Americans were killed during his watch. And Bush had been Pres for almost a year when this happened. I wouldn’t call that “very early” in his administration. Trump pulled his punch on this one. Hillary won’t.

A picture does speak a 1000 words...
A powerfully disturbing portrait for legacy.
And a damned sad one based solely on facts and results.
I cannot imagine the pain of regret and betrayal for a fallen serviceman ‘ s family, or maimed vet.
When I met fellow Freepers in DC six years ago, I finished off the March, with a visit to Arlington.
I had no idea how sadly moving it would be.
Tears just within a few hundred yards.
300,000 countrymen are buried there.
And I Strongly advocate Every politician be frog marched thru every foot of that massive cemetery, forced to wear a headset broadcasting a loud din of voices reading Every fallen soldiers name.
Lest elected officials ever forget their oath to serve honorably.

I am fully committed to seeing Jeb Bush defeated and all is fair. I know this is dirty. I hope my intent is not misunderstood.

Like it or not, Bush’s performance set the stage for 7 years of Obama.

It would be a bit of a stretch to say that the thousands of innocent Americans killed on 9/11 were Bush's fault, but it's certainly not to his credit that it happened during his administration

On it's face, this is a true statement.

Start peeling back the layers of the onion that are "truth" and you come to a much different conclusion.

For starters, we now know that some/many of the hijackers on 9-11-2001 were trained in America under Bill Clinton's watch.

What makes that statement relevant?

For starters, several of the flight training schools, one of which is in Minnesota, alerted the Federal Government that they were seeing an influx of middle-eastern males paying CASH to attend training, and expressed their interest in controlling the airplane once in flight. Not during take-off or landing, just in flight. Once controlling the aircraft was taught and practiced on the flight simulators, the middle-eastern students magically disappeared, never to be seen again. Or were they? Yes, they were on surveillance footage in Boston the day of the attacks.

Second, it was Jamie Gorelic, a Deputy Attorney General and political appointee of Bill Clinton himself who authored and implemented the "Chinese Wall" between the FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies, preventing them from sharing information. The CIA was aware during the Clinton Administration that muslim males were coming to America to "train to be pilots" and were being funded by terrorist organizations to do so, but were prevented from sharing that information with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies because of Jamie Gorelik's "chinese wall."

Why did 9-11-2001 happen? Jamie Gorelic. Chinese Wall. Bill Clinton.

While it's true that the 9-11-2001 terrorist attacks happened on George Bush's watch, the truth is all the preparation for the attack was done on Bill Clinton's watch and when those facts were finally brought to light, they were ignored.

Ironically, not unlike Bill Clinton ignoring the USS Cole incident that killed 17 sailors and injured 39 more in the fall of 2000. He left that mess for George W. Bush to clean up too.

It isn’t hatred. It’s reality. 3,000 Americans were murdered in the most devastating terrorist attack in world history during his tenure. George bush did not keep us safe.

Uhhhhhhh, Roosevelt was responsible for WWII because he was president when Pearl Harbor happened??????? get real
