    Bush apologists and the keep blathering the mantra that George W Bush kept USA safe from terrorists on his watch. However the opposite is true as exemplified by 911 and other incidents after. The Bush administration enlisted obeisant media personnel and an army of PR spin doctors to push the mantra that Bush protected USA and kept USA safe.

    There was no excuse for failing to prevent 911 on Bush's watch. Every aspect of USA protection and surveillance failed while 4 purported groups of terrorists succeeded. What is worse, Pentagon and NORAD personnel were promoted after 911 instead of being court martialled for their negligence.

    George W Bush did not keep America safe. He went to sleep at the wheel and surrounded himself with sleepy mental midgets.

    George left the world in a parlous state mired in conflict with a nascent ISIS evolving financed by the usual suspects Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.

    George W Bush left the USA economy as a smoking ruin causing even more distress on Americans.

    Bush has been gone for how long? Obama is arming terrorists and giving them nukes. Obama's death toll will climb long after he leaves office.

    Interesting how you don't blame Clinton for not getting Bin Laden when he had the chance. That, of course, would have prevented 9/11 before Bush was ever even elected. But we know where Clinton's priorities were. Chubby interns.

    More Americans killed by Islamist terrorists after post 9-11-01 on Barack H. Obama's watch than on G.W. Bush's watch.

    Well, Bush should have ignored the policies that Clinton put in to place, that Al Qaeda would be a law enforcement issue not a national security issue.

    Funny how many ignore A,G. Janet Reno's "wall" that prevented the dots from being connected to prevent the AQ attack on 9-11-01

    It was the Clinton administration that made it illegal for the CIA, FBI, NSA, ONI, INS, USBP, federal, state, county and local law enforcement to share information and intelligence on Al Qaeda with each other.

    That's led to the dots not being connected.

    Bush changed Clinton's failed terrorist policies after 9-11. But he didn't spend eight years blaming Clinton.

    The best part is Clinton had an opportunity to kill Osama but chose not to...

    It even gets better.

    In 1996 Susan Rice helped persuade President Clinton to rebuff Sudan's offer to turn Osama bin Laden, who was then living there, over to U.S. authorities.

    That's right, the same Susan Rice who's Obama's spoke hole and one of Obama's national security advisers. :roflol:

    Bush's legacy keeps on increasing American deaths.

    If Bush had gone after Chubby interns he might have been more successful than he was with terrorists.

    Not long enough for the effects of his disastrous Presidency to dissipate.

    That's true. But let's keep in mind that many of those terrorists wouldn't even exist if Bush hadn't gone through with his insane invasion of Iraq, the result of which was to unleash ISIS on the region.

    That's just complete nonsense. If you actually believe that, then you should be embarrassed.

    Yea, well, I'll take Obama's theoretically high death toll over Bush's actually high death toll any day. That's not to say Obama has been a good President, but at least he wasn't so incompetent that he allowed 3,000 Americans to die in a terrorist attack on American soil.

    Utilized the actionable intelligence acquired by the NSA and CIA in order to interdict the plot as it was unfolding on American soil.

    1. Stay awake

    2. Stay alert

    3. Stop the CIA from fast tracking entry of terrorists into USA. CIA approved the visa of all the 911 terrorists

    4. Stop the flow of Saudi money to terrorists

    5. Act on the credible warnings he was given

    6. Stop kissing the butt of Saudi King

    7. Fire Cheney and Rumsfeld who were both losers from history

    Maybe that's because Obama calls terrorist attacks "workplace violence".

    Out with it man! Do you mean that George W Bush should have refrained from kissing the butt of Saudi Kings?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Probably because the Bush dynasty employed and financed a lot of terrorists.

    You care about Bush - Bush is your fail-safe.... I could care less about Bush.... I like most patriots hated him the second he started his bailouts and thought the patriot act was a good idea, of course Obama continued Bush's policies yet you love that tyrant.

    Clinton launched numerous air strikes designed to kill Bin Laden. Unfortunately, it came at a time when Republicans were accusing him of getting a BJ in the oval, and he, in turn, was accused of inventing the threat to deflect from the scrutiny he was under. Had Republicans gotten behind him instead of impeaching him, perhaps we'd live in a different world today, and the erroneous invasion of Iraq in search of the magical WMD's could have been avoided.

    But, nope. Republicans were more focused on impeaching a sitting president for getting blown then they were for actually safeguarding the nation.

    Bush at least has a legacy, Obama's legacy will be irrelevant just like his failed foreign policies and that when it comes to geopolitics, Obama is irrelevant while the rest of the world leaders play chess on the geopolitical chessboard, Obama plays checkers.

    Putin, the Chicoms, Al Qaeda, ISIS could care less if Obama has a phone and a pen.

    Obama calling the terrorist attack at Fort Hood "workplace violence," is an insult to every American who has ever wore the uniform and stood post.
    Before cultural-marxism political correctness was forced upon America, Obama would have been tarred and feathered.

    Why was so little funding granted for the 911 commission if George W Bush really wanted to protect America?

    Bush's legacy is war and chaos extending into the future.

    At the very least Obama's legacy will be to have mastered control over the GOP lawmaker rabble who don't respond to GOP leadership.
