Really?
Must we stoop to the level of the Left in criticism of GWB? Do we need to speculate on how Al Gore would have handled 9/11?
No, this is not a knee-jerk defense of 43: his handling of immigration was atrocious, and his tendency toward government solutions over the free market (ie. 'compassionate conservatism') was troubling in the least. Actually, his biggest failing IMO was his inability to hit back at his detractors: something DJT understands at his core.
George W. Bush deserved every bit of it. He pissed away thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars on his stupid war-mongering globalism.
I think we were being mild, in fact. He deserves a lot worse than that.
