This was my major complaint with W after 9/11. He should have stopped this ‘religion of peace’ BS and taken care of business, in the manner you have suggested in your post above. Or better yet, declare what it really is - a violent political ideology and kick them all out.
GWB either didn't have the smarts, the stones, or either one to do it. We are all paying the price for it now.
And his father should have taken out Saddam during the Gulf War. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Wonder if you have ever noticed how George Soros has poured billions into manipulating this nation for his own profitable goals, and specifically into defeating George Bush even before he could take office; and how Bush's inauguration was marked with Soros-funded violent anarchist demonstrations the like of which had never happened in our history before; and how the Soros-manipulated press was down on Bush for every little thing, good, bad or indifferent? There was no chance. All Bush could do was influence the areas Soros and his useful-idiot Islamists were not particularly interested in jihading at that time. By the time muslim jihad spreads into all-out world war, Soros will be dead and gone; and therefore he doesn't give two s***s about the consequences.
On the other hand, I have always wondered what the Saudis really have over the Bush family and all the rest of the ruling class in this nation. Something stinks badly. But it certainly isn't limited to the Bushes. At least they appear to love this country, unlike the Hillary/Obama/Holder/Napolitano regime, which has enthusiastically enabled the Islamists and has inserted them into positions of power all over the Federal government.
