While there’s much to criticize in Bush’s actions during the War on Terror and his post-presidential years, I am convinced that he was the right man to lead us through those awful days. He was sober, vigilant, compassionate, and driven to help the country heal. He managed to bring together a nation that just seven months before was roiled by partisan bickering over the 2000 election. For that, I’ll forever be grateful.
Or as I thought to myself at the time, Al Gore.
The Bush Crime Family can FOAD. I will not be buying this whitewash.
I would have rather had Pat Buchanan, but we had two evil choices instead.
What would Al Gore have done differently?
If Bush had guts and a brain he would have parked a B-52 over Mecca and said, “The next time an American building falls down I’m turning Mecca into a sheet of glass. You have 30 days to find Osama and deliver him to America.”
We are in a 100 year war. 60 years to go…
Why?
When socialist Bush had the brief window of opportunity to actually capture/kill UBL in 2001 in the mountains of Bora Bora, he didn’t, stopping the military from getting him because of some sort of political hand-wringing concern.
It took about another decade, many, many more deaths, and Obama of all people, to give the green light to go and kill this worldwide killer.
Read the comments at the link. They are brutal. Bush is as phony as a three dollar bill.
Biden would have apologized to Al Qaeda and sent them a couple billion dollars.
I’m sorry the Bush family is evil and they can FOAD
I thought so too at the time; but, after he left office, he moved steadily left, forgetting his social and patriotic issue supporters. He also did an especially bad cave on global warming.
I don’t understand the premise of the article.
Bush is Uniparty and so is Gore.
The response would have been the same under Gore.
Taking the conflict off shore, to Iraq/Afghanistan, to a “honey pot” .... saved us. Rule number one for fighting wars, is fight them in someone else’s land. The terrorist swarmed south Asia, instead of swarming us.
He is part of the deep state, but an enemy of our enemy is our friend.
There were dozens of potential presidents who would have eFfed up.
I think I’m gonna puke. Is PJ Media really that bad?
After seeing the true colors of George w bush shine through, I will NEVER give this man another accolade. NEVER. He can go to hell.
GW wasted too much time on nation building and left us stuck in countries for decades. Iraq was a big mistake and not worth the effort or expense of lives or $. GW was a screwup and proves it all the time even now.
He was a total moron and if Gore had been there same outcome, endless wars forever.
Al Gore was the alternative
By about 338 votes in Florida, as I recall
The Al Gore that got a big payoff from the companies that successfully lobbied against Fed regulations to reinforce airliner cockpit doors, just months before the election
If we had a democrat as president I think more conservatives would have pushed back against the “patriot act”. Too many went along with it just because a republican was president.
The Bush family is as corrupt and tyrannical as the Obama family, Clinton family, and Biden family.
