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. Osama kicked our ass and continues to do so from the grave as we spend billions of dollars hardening our transportation, infrastructure, and sports venues. Yes, we must defend overseas now, yet another Bush legacy.

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.
Unavoidably true. Which is not the same as stating he's "responsible" for the attacks, like Jeb immediately tries to do insinuate.
