Compared to 9/11, no. And that was on Obama’s watch when “al qaeda was on the run”. /s
GWB’s homeland security policies (although I don’t like some aspects of the Patriot Act) kept this country safe and he should be given credit for that. My gripe with GWB was the explosion in federal spending and the handling of the economic crisis.
Maybe I should have clarified that there wasn’t a serious act of terrorism related to al qaeda, the group that precipitated the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.
If GWB really wanted to go after the 911 shouldn't Saudi Arabia have been the target? All of the 911 terrorists and BinLaden were Saudi. The terrorists were in the US illegally. Wouldn't it have made more sense to make it as impossible as possible to be in the US illegally?
GWBs actions didn't end the terrorist threats. His policies, made even worse by Obama, morphed the terrorist threat into something far worse.
