Former President George W. Bush used his 9/11 anniversary speech in Shanksville, Pennsylvania to condemn 'violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,' calling them 'children of the same foul spirit.'

Bush also used his address to tell veterans and servicemembers that their sacrifices in the War on Teror weren't for nothing.

And the former leader pushed the nation to display the same sort of unity that was present in the days following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

'Many Americans struggled to understand why an enemy would hate us with such zeal,' Bush said. 'The security measure incorporated into our lives are both sources of comfort and reminders of our vulnerability. And we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within.'

The former Republican president noted that there is 'little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home' except for their 'disregard of human life.'

'In their determination to defile national symbols they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them,' Bush said

Shut up, W. I’m ashamed that I had to vote for you. You do not care. You only wanted our vote.

Never liked the man. I knew his “compassionate conservatism” was nothing more or less than liberalism. After all, they’re Northeastern milk toast rinos.

What a d-bag this guy turned out to be. I should have listened to all those people who told me back in the 1990s that the Bushes were scum. They are. Every last one of them.

Weird how much crap I took on this website when I didn’t like this guy from the start.

With the choice of Bush or McCain, I was looking hard at Browne.

Oh what a different world we would live in if people had put Principle over Party.

How about a huge Smirking Chimp hug for our Islamics in Congress. Gee isn’t it swell? Name me one Conservative Islamic in congress. Why it just warms my heart that radicals are now welcomed with open arms in the name of the Bush NWO diversity. Bush ain’t gonna rock the boat. Biden opened the borders back up for him and we are kissing China’s butt again in trade and wouldn’t Spook Daddy and his President of US/China COC be so pleased? Bush could care less about the rest. Yet some of us saw it coming before the chimp got elected his first term. His you’re either with him or the terrorist crap on all things was the icing on the crap cake our nation was fed a steady diet for 8 years. That was followed by John Bush McCain taking a knee for team Bush/Obama.

George W. Bush, what you should have condemned today was Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan surrender where Americans and allies remain hostages, and the grave national security situation in which he left our country; or condemned Obama, for his release of 5 of the worst Taliban terrorists on the planet, 4 of whom are now running the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. But he didn’t have the guts to do either. And too bad he didn’t condemn the violent extremism our nation experienced all last summer.

After 9/11 , Ashli Babbitt asked her mom to sign a waiver so she could enroll in the Military at age 17. After graduation in 2003, she went into the Air Force. She had 8 tours overseas including Afghanistan. And today her former commander and chief compared her to a tear or is t .’ F ‘ you

That speech was disgusting. In the future the idiot politicians and elites can stay home to do their virtue signaling.
