“Fact: The World Trade Center/Pentagon was attacked on Bush’s watch. The meme that “he protected us” is a blatant lie on its face.”
Unless you are totally perfect, with total foresight, you need to take that back. No one can offer 100% protection, but he did take steps that made us SAFER than we would have been without them. The invasion of Iraq and our killing uncounted thousands of extremists there and in Afghanistan did wonders for our safety.
No argument. Just don’t say, “He kept us safe,” when he didn’t.
