If you read the rest of the article, Bush was too focused on Saddam Hussein, and thought of Bin Laden as some "two-bit crook." He thought Condi Rice didn't even know about Osama bin Laden. That would be an epic fail for a National Security adviser to the president.

More of it here and link above.

W Bush - "To be honest with you Oprah, Bin Laden wasn't really on my radar," he explained. "I was so focused on Saddam Hussein that I couldn't see anything else. My CIA guys would come in and say 'Bin Laden's prepping an attack,' 'Bin Laden's prepping an attack,' and I was pretty much like 'Whatever. What do you got on Saddam?'

"There was a general lack of awareness. I'm pretty sure Condi Rice didn't even known who Bin Laden was. I had heard of him, but he sounded like more of a two-bit criminal to me so I didn't take him seriously. And that malunderestimation (sic) really cost us as a nation."

I am familiar with those Bush comments.☺

Thanks for posting.

Btw, Jed stepped in it big league and started a war which will get him pummeled even worse. Trump needs to launch on this Bush dynasty, but good. Blow this guy off the stage while the whole world watches!
