Bush overlooked the conniving Mideast mindset and its capacity to do great harm to the US. Bush had this flawed vision of Arabs dancing around the Maypole after the US brought them the glories of democracy.
Bush relied too heavily on the pukeneos.....who may or may not be in league w/ Obama/s pals---the Muslim Brotherhood. The pukes agenda does not include the best interests of the USA. They are political whores who will get in bed w/ anybody that serves their hidden agenda.
=============================================
QUOTING ANN COULTER In June 2001 -- three months before the attack committed by Arabs on U.S. commercial airlines -- the Bush administration undertook a study to ensure that Arabs were not being disproportionately stopped by airport security.
COULTER When U.S. Airways ticket agent Michael Tuohey laid eyes on Mohamed Atta on the morning of 9/11, he got a "chill" and thought to himself, "If this guy doesn't look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does." But then, he says, he gave himself a politically correct "slap," and handed Atta his ticket.
COULTER Atta proceeded to murder 3,000 Americans. But at least no undue scrutiny of Arabs was taking place at U.S. Airports! ......as governor of Florida, Jeb Bush aggressively pushed a bill to allow illegal aliens to get driver's licenses, less than three years AFTER 13 of 19 hijackers used Florida driver's licenses to board the planes on 9/11.
===============================================
9/11 mastermind Atta's drivers license was suspended for
failure to appear in court....he was in the US on an expired visa.
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT (SNIX) Before 9/11, L/E was
contacted about swarthy Mideast individuals taking flying lessons who
wanted to learn how to takeoff...not how to land. ////GWB wading into Jeb/s losing effort is futile..... poor timing at best. But most of all b/c it dredges up all the troubling aspects of Bush/s role in Mideast affairs.
ANN COUTER: In June 2001, the Bush administration undertook a study to ensure that Arabs were not being disproportionately stopped by airport security.
.....Colin Powell asserts in his new book: "there would have been no Iraq war" had then-Pres GWB and his councilors understood that Hussein did not possess any functioning unconventional weapons. Powell lauded the fact that under Bush we got rid of the horrific Hussein government and toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.....
ANALYSIS Which just goes to show the US still hasn/t figured out the fervid Mideast mindset to this day. Its thousand-year-old sectarian internecine warfare was kept in check by strongmen like Saddam and Khadafi. Now these savages are marauding all over Europe.....and are coming here to kill us for what we did in Iraq.
POINTS TO PONDER
<><> Powell never mentions that the conniving Mideast types calculated the advantage of having a superpower in their midst....and they cashed in bigtime.
<><> The US gamely decided to train the indigenous population....it cost us billions and we managed to train 4-5 or so over five years.
<><> In the US we take them off the farm, send them to boot camp, and in 3 weeks we got soldiers.
<><> The Bank of Kabul where the CIA and DOD deposited billions to finance the war was a withdrawal-only goldmine for insiders.
<><> For public consumption, the US said we went into Iraq to show them the advantages of democracy and to get all warm and cuddly as they embraced it.
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Remember this Colin? The war profiteering was outrageous. Neocon godfather Richard Perle relaxing in Paris (above the fray---nowhere near his cohorts plotting in the WH Office of Special Ops) got so rich w/ insider info, he was reported to be starting his own oil company.
<><> One last thing, Colin.....GWB estimated the Iraq strike would cost $50-60 billion.......then an angry Bush fired advisor Larry Lindsey because Lindsay dared to say the war might cost more like $100 billion.
That was in 2007 dollars.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY Iraq and Afghanistan today have cost the US some $3 TRILLION....and rivers of young blood. We/re still pouring US tax dollars into those decrepit Mideast countries, and..... as Donald says....we got NOTHING in return.
BTW, look who controls most of the Iraqui oil fields today.
