Reign? Presidents are not kings, Mr. Trump. Words matter, please choose your identifiers a bit more carefully.
Bush loved the Saudi’s
WTC #1 and #2 may have come down the first year of Bush's Presidency, however all the terrorists trained at flight schools in this country during the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION.
FURTHER, the Clinton Administration IGNORED all warnings from the different intelligence agencies that muslim males were in this country, PAYING CASH to learn how to fly commercial jet airliners and DISAPPEARING from those classes before learning how to LAND those planes.
The Clinton Administration also FAILED to follow-up on the USS Cole terrorist attack despite different intelligence agencies pointing to Osama Bin Laden as the mastermind and al-Qaeda doing the deed.
So who's really at fault here, Mr. Trump?
Like it or not Trump is correct....
Eff you chump trump. The World Trade Center is NOT W’s fault.
Only a muslim animal would suggest that.
Trump is verminous filth. He is unworthy to run for dogcatcher.
This will be a good thread to read FReeper comments and take notes.
I really like Trump but I cannot blame Bush for 9-11.
I wish they would have been rebuilt instead of the whatever tower that’s in it’s their place now.
Kinda mild for Trump. He did want W impeached and talked about how terrible he was in the past.
Karl Rove in 2000 wanted to pander to muslims and relax visas.
Grover Norquist has pandered to them forever.
Trump is the only nationwide candidate who really went against the Ground Zero mosque.
It is these kind of careless comments by Trump that worry me. “Bush’s `reign’”? Is that a Freudian slip, or is he just talking like a Democrat? Is that how he perceives the Presidency? I really respect that he is talking about issues that need talking about, but from day 1, I have worried about his temperament. And comments like these reinforce those worries. I really want to be enthusiastic about him, but I am certainly not there yet.
The Bushes (Nafta & 911) the Clintons (repealing glass-steagle), Carter (economic malayse) Obama (no example required) have caused massive damage to America.
Oh i fogot Nixon (unpegging the dollar from gold standard)
Funny the only thing Trump said was THE FACT that yes W was the POTUS at the time of 911. That’s a historical fact.
All the Jebby and Bush-Bots, who still think W was a conservative, go APE!
It is a FACT George W was POTUS when 911 happened.
Some of the Trump haters, are trying to TWIST what Trump said, and then attack that as if Trump said it.
It’s called the “Straw Man” argument where you say your opponent said something they never said..., and then you attack that point.
This more Establishment bull$hit in order to bring down Trump.
The low life Rat Jeb is also VERY AFRAID to remind people of this fact.
Get over it Establishment lovers!
Well, let’s look at this with some honesty. President GW Bush came into office at the beginning of January of 2001 ... The attacks occurred near mid September 2001 - a bit more than an 8 month span of time, during which president Bush had access to the same intelligence that the previous administration ignored. Eight months was more than sufficient to “take care of business,” but, for whatever reasons, President Bush did not act on the available intelligence. Perhaps he thought OBL was not so much of a threat. Perhaps his priorities were in a different direction than national security. He and his administration certainly did “come up to speed” rather quickly with the who, what, where and why facts immediately after the 9/11 attack. So the lintel was not inaccessible.
President GW Bush had a responsibility to prioritize according to the risk level of known threats - and OBL / AQ were definitely known and real threats to the U.S. President GW Bush had EIGHT months to properly understand and either prepare or otherwise act to neutralize this threat. He chose to follow President Clinton’s previous course of inaction. For whatever reason, something held his hand back.
President Clinton did not hide the info on OBL and AQ, he played it down ... But President GW Bush had to have known of the details - the particulars of the operation to kill OBL.
So, why did President Bush not pick up the baton and act where Clinton failed? I don’t suppose it would be that the Bush Dynasty is on very good terms with the House of Saud?
Perhaps many here do not like this to be pointed out - but the facts are that OBL and most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals - and the Saudi Royals are known to be backing the brand of Wahhabi that OBL and AQ follow. More over there is (alleged) evidence that it was the Saudis who bankrolled Barrack Hussein Obama’s education and political aspirations.
The House of Saud is the enemy of the United States, and the only reason that the US government has not, and will not act to put this treacherous relationship to an end is oil - an interest in which the Bush Dynasty and the House of Saud share much in common.
Trump is disgusting.
And a mosque anywhere within 100 miles?!? Unacceptable.
