Jeb has a point. George Bush kept us safe - after he didn't.

Of course, he also didn't keep us safe from the biggest deficits in American history (prior to Obama); or from the biggest recession since the Great Depression; or from Obama getting elected in a backlash by voters against Bush's failures.

Other than that, he kept us safe - after he didn't.

He focused on the WOT and let the banks and mortgages go splat. He did know about that issue.

So using that logic was President Reagan to blame for the killing of 299 Marines in Beirut in 1983?

What about Clinton when he could have had Ben Laden and didn't want to take the ‘time ‘ to do it....what about the ‘ramming’ (as Clinton put it) of the Cole?

Jeb is a cry baby titty mouse that needs to go home to mama...if Rubio has anything to say about it, they both will....

Jeb did nothing saving that girl's life, lied to everyone about it....Jeb is trying to be his father and brother and doesn't have a clue what is going on in the world ...low energy? he has NO energy!!!

GO TRUMP GO!!!

Instead of implying blame, which may or may not be true, Mr. Trump should focus on how our rights have been taken away since 9.11.01.

One by one...

BTW, this issue comes up every Autumn. Why do we never hear Condi Rice’s response to the criticism? She was National Security Adviser at the time, was she not?

Seems she’d be more than willing to exoronate the Bush administration if she could.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump set off another political firestorm Friday after implying that President George W. Bush was to blame for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, drawing the ire of his Republican rivals

I hope that after being elected, President Trump reams the MSM.

C’mon Trumpster dont go there...

I dont blame GWB for 9/11 nor the market crash of ‘08.
He does get blame for going into Iraq when Saddam was under wraps and for spending like a drunken lieberal— not balancing the budget. Plus too soft hearted on the illegals.

Dubya did not keep us safe. He willfully allowed millions of criminal invaders from south of the border into our country.

My first thought about this was that Trump was out of line - and he may have been.

Second thought is that Trump probably knows a lot more “inside baseball” than us regular slobs, and I don’t think he’d toss that line out there out of nowhere.

His information is probably a little different than what’s been put out there.

When it comes to men, power, money and politics I am not an absolutist.

Trump needs to clarify. He needs to stress that after promising "help is on the way", Bush failed to immediately purge the FBI, CIA, and armed forces of klintonoids. He was duped by his own people, including Grover Bin Norquist. Also, post 9/11, he failed to rid the Department of Illegal Immigration of enemy agents and incompetents, (9/11 hijackers were STILL getting mail sent to them!) and he failed to CLOSE THE F---KING BORDER from illegal AND legal immigration. He invited an imam who chanted "death to America!" to speak at the 9/14/01 service.

Because of this, by the time we were ready to "fight", the Rules of Enslav--, I mean, Engagement, forced our soldiers to put the lives and welfare of enemy citizens, combatants,and BUILDINGS above their own. Guantanamo pieces of crap got 5 star meals and were allowed to throw shit and piss at our people, while our soldiers had to clean themselves off with GARDEN HOSES. Our men died needlessly because of the incompetence and inbred leftist evil metastasizing in all areas of the federal government.

BILL KLINTON is more to blame for 9/11. He, to cover up his illegal fundraisers on watch lists, created the Able Danger machine that prevented us from preventing 9/11. He enabled technological sale of previously forbidden high tech communications equipment that the hijackers used to communicate. His brothers in solidarity in the ACLU sued Logan Airport for profiling, which made it the PERFECT place to launch the plan in the first place...

Trump also wanted Bush impeached over Iraq for lying about WMD’s.

Infact, Trump wanted Nancy Pelosi to do just that (he’s also contributed to her campaigns).

This is truther stuff. Trump once again proves he is utterly classless, and wrong when it comes to Bush supposedly lying about WMD’s - every major power in the world did believe Saddam possessed some WMD capability.

Facts....people....wake up!!!

- Bill Clinton was asleep at the wheel, but fondling chicks, as the first WTC & USS Cole attack, occurred!!! Braindead buffoon & sex maniac, is more the right assessment!!!

- G.W. Bush was asleep at the wheel even worse then Bill Clinton. Bush won the election in November, 2000, & almost a year later...he had done nothing concrete to correct the shortfalls in USA intelligence...even though he was quite aware of major attacks during the Bill Clinton POTUS term!!!

- Barack Hussein Obama is actively pursuing the destruction of the American Republic & its people!!! it is his true agenda!!! You cannot list all the obvious negative things he has done to hurt, disable and cause the terrorist murders of innocent American citizens and thousands of military personnel killed or wounded on his watch!!! Too bad....the American people cannot see what a tyrant, despot and dictator is in real life!!! Sad!!! Blood endlessly drips from his evil, hateful, hands!!! Does anyone in the American media ever tell things the way they really are??? Obama is the number one hater of the USA in our world!!!

Trump’s remarks, regardless of what you think of the substance, has proven that if John Ellis Bush is elected, he carries the George the Younger’s baggage with him. John Ellis Bush cannot disown his brother, and that will put him in with two strikes in a lot of people’s minds. In John Ellis Bush’s own words, he inherited half of his brother’s friends and all of their enemies.

Remember the 15 of the 19. From 9/11 to now it's all been about the pipeline. Who wants it and who doesnt.
