Bush is terrible with words. He should have said that WWII is the perfect example of how pre-emption and eliminating Hitler could have saved millions and millions of lives.
Same is true today with Iran.
I think this came from his heart rather than his intellect, but you're right. He should have said the US should have entered the war in 1939
My mom and I were talking about this yesterday. You are correct. But think how the liberals view pre-emption. They see it as cold blooded assassination! We were imagining a 1992 election without Perot, and Bush I actually winning. He sees the threat of bin Laden and has him killed in that "hunting expedition" with the Saudi prince.
From then on, when the libs hear of this attack, they claim he, the big CIA man, went out and had our allies (binnie and the Saudi) killed for no reason, against the will of America, bla bla bla. No one would ever have know what bin Laden would have been capable of (9/11) because it would not have occurred.
Who knows what the winning against terror in Iraq will have prevented? With G-d's help, we never HAVE to know.
Funny, that’s what I heard. But I am from Texas, so I guess I get his accent.
