chance. 9/11 is directly attributed to Bill Clinton. If he had never been elected president it would have never happened.


Yup

All of the great presidents (well most anyway) were assholes in one way or another. If you were a striking Aircraft controller you may well have thought Reagan was an Asshole for firing you. Even Lincoln had his dark side. George Washington put down the Whisky Rebellion over a tax on booze. Trump may well be the Asshole we need right now.

The Clintons and Bushes are part of the same political cartel.


Hear, hear!

My My, all this defense of that which is Bush. He dumped the “socialism on us to save the country” right before leaving office. He called us names like Xenophobes when we stood up against his amnesty plan.

GWB needs to defend himself. Jeb needs to go away.

Trump is just tweaking the dweeb. :-)


He’s not just tweaking the dweeb, though that is of course a great thing for him to do.

He’s also making it clear — for the sake of the general election — that he is not a reenactment of GWB.

Romney lost for many reasons. One important reason was the media successfully planted an association in the low-infos brains between GWB and Romney.

Look, I do get it. But we have to be consistent. If the exact same response came from a guy who had a (D) after his name (and considering how feckless it was, it seems perfectly plausible that we’d have seen the exact same response from a guy who had a (D) after his name), then we’d be ripping him to shreds.

I’m not willing to give W a pass just because I voted for him.

Almost all of the 911 maniacs were in the US illegally. One would’ve thought the logical consequence would’ve been to get those in the US illegally out of the country, and keep them out. Would we be safer today if that had been the direction taken? I suspect so.
Instead, GWB gave us a “war on terror” that never ends.


On 9/12/2001 GWB was in possession of a huge political mandate. He could have used that mandate to build a southern wall, lock down the visa system and institute some new tough enforcement on illegals esp those from muzzie lands (while still going into Afghanistan).

Instead, he spent all his 9/11 political capital re-fighting his daddy’s war, and in the process massively destabilizing the ME and massively strengthening Iran.

It was a multi-level blunder of astronomical proportions.

A well-crafted salvo.

Factually correct, yes. But I don't think that is how Trump meant it.

It's no different that posting:

"Donald Trump -- or companies that bear his name - have declared bankruptcy four times"

Factually correct. But no context, no explanation.

Here's an idea. Instead of making a tweet like that, I'd ask Donald Trump to have a discussion on 9/11 and to provide more detail than what 140 chars can provide.

stupid statement

the fallacy of your lack of logic is that the enemy would by some miracle cease attacking

the stupidity is that it is plain that the enemy has no such intent. the terrorists had no desire to end the attacks

being on the anti Bush band wagon in drunken stupor is taking a bad ride to ignominy

Are you defending GWB for not removing invaders from the US? Would the Tsarnov brothers have been in the US if GWB had when he had the opportunity refused to take Muslim refugees or students into the US? If he had initiated policies that got those in the US illegally deported?

Instead, he got involved with misguided regime change in Iraq, which created the vacuum which ISIS filled.

You CANNOT absolve GWB of all blame for what followed. Nor can you deny the statement that he was President, and for enough time to assess security weaknesses, when 911 happened.

Yup some of the ingrained GOP’ers here dont seem to care or just dont want to believe. Both crime families and NWO one world types. No more Clintons or Bush’s

Absolutely, and if we can throw in no more Kardashians that would be a sweet deal and a huge win for the country and the world.

It is certainly true that Poppa Bush was a great friend of, and maybe even a willing servant of, the Saudi Royal family.

“He knows when to drop another bomb on the media. I knew one was due this week.”

He was tricked into saying it. The interviewer kept leading him on. The media are cowardly wimps that are looking for a story and they keep prying until they get someone to say something they didn’t really want to say. By the way Trump didn’t say Bush was responsible for 9/11. He said he was president when it happened. Then of course the interview said “so you’re saying this”.

Bill O’Reilly tried the same thing the other night when he said to Trump, concerning the democrat debate, “it sorta looked like they knew the questions before hand”. Then Trump said “well maybe, who knows”. Then the sneaky snake O’Reilly keeps it up by saying “so you’re saying they knew the questions beforehand? That’s a serious allegation”. Trump must have been sleepy because he didn’t call O’Reilly on trying to lead him on. So O’Reilly started the story and O’Reilly ended the story, then tried to blame it on Trump. All of Fox News is out to get him, even his “friend” Bill O’Reilly.

I am simply saying that George Bush Sr. has led an impressive life.

Youngest pilot in the navy in 1942, Yale graduate, Congress-critter, Ambassador to the UN, Envoy to China, CIA director. At a time when being competent was valued over political allegiances. VP, and President.

It’s a pretty impressive life. I adamantly disagree with his globalist views and much of what he advocated. But that does not preclude an admiration of his accomplishments.

Cheap shot by Trump. This is what I don’t like about him is that he can be so vindictive.
