Oh, Mr. Trunp - don’t go there!
Bush had to do clean-up detail.
This is not the mark of a Constitutional Conservative.
I’m not a big “W” fan but come on. He had been in office less than a year and it was Clinton that refused to go after Bin Laden.
If Trump wins the WH, some very nasty chickens are going to come home to roost, brought into the barnyard by you-know-who. Will he be saying “hey, that all happened on my watch” when that happens?
What the heck??
Michael Moore and other liberals point to the National Security Briefing of Aug. 6, 2001, in which Bush was warned that Bin Laden was planning something involving airplane hijackings, as their evidence that Bush did nothing to prevent 9/11. Do we really want to go there???
As far as blame, there was plenty of blame placed on the Clinton administration’s handling of foreign affairs, in the 9/11 commission report, regarding the lead up to 9/11.
There was an ABC mini series done about the lead up to 9/11. The Clintons pressured ABC to make some changes to the facts reported in that series, to cast less blame on Clinton.
And that mini series was shown exactly once on ABC, has never been rerun, and has never been released on home video. Due to pressures from the Clintons. This mini series hit too close to home.
9/11 was about as much George Bushes fault as hurricane Katrina was.
Misleading headline?
Getting out the popcorn, the excuses ought to be brilliant.
Well..I guess we could blame it all on Clinton and his policies...but he’s right...Bush was president. But it’s smart politically. He’s picking up bush haters and there were a ton of them.
More gotcha politics by the MSM. Don’t fall for it.
I’ll admit at the outset that this is more of a conspiracy theory than analysis, but it seems to me that for some reason Trump has an animus against the Bushes (ala Ross Perot)
Could he be running simply to prevent Jeb from getting the nomination?
On 9/11, GWB had barely been able to finish his Cabinet appointments, what with Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords defecting and giving the Dems 50% of the control of the Senate. Trump shoots from the lip and sometimes makes a real mess of it.
That’s a cheap shot. The planning for that attack took place during the watch of Trumps friend Bill Clinton.
It wasn’t a reign. It was Clinton’s fault.
It’s not the “misleading headline” excuse this time, folks.
Trump: “When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.”
Trump seems to refuse to acknowledge his friend Bill Clinton had chances to have bin Laden handed over to him and he refused.
The 9-11 plot began before Bush was in office. The Clinton administration issued most or or all of the entry visas used by the Muslim terrorists.
That said, Bush Junior’s response to 9-11 was awful.
Instead of stopping Islamic immigration to our homeland, he increased it.
And while pursuing a peripheral adventure in Iraq he lets his Saudi buddies off the hook for their key role in global terrorism, including 9-11.
Let’s not forget Trump’s friend Bill Clinton refused to interact with the Bush transition team for more than a month because Al Gore contested the election until mid-December 2000.
I don't see anything wrong with what he says, he's not necessarily blaming him, but it is true that yes, it did happen on his watch, and he was 9 months into his Presidency. You can't say he is entirely blameless, although I believe that yes, Clinton deserves most of the blame.
Trump is just trying to pick up Democrat votes. He needs to finish Jeb already. Name and deed association can do that for him with regard to Jebbers with any right leaning Democrats. This strategy is no different than Amnesty Rinos pandering to get Democrat votes. Everyone needs to calm the F down. Otherwise if Trump is so distasteful anyone who can’t stomach him can always for for Hillary Rodham Clinton Abedin.
