The Bushes have not kept us safe!

I can't believe that Jeb Bush had the audacity to claim on National TV that George W. Bush kept us safe. Of course, none of the other lame candidates on the stage would counter him, because none of them want to accept the fact that 9/11 happened under Republican G W's watch. Are they brain-dead, or do they really believe that 9/11 happened in another planet under another President?

Al Qaeda and ISIS couldn't be what they are today without American money & weapons. Al Qaeda to oust the Russians from Afghanistan, and ISIS to kill Assad in Syria. WikiLeaks recently released documents showing the CIA admitting and even boasting about supporting radical Islamists all over the world.

The CIA uses them when it feels it's convenient. That being said, it's different Presidents but same policies. Permanent War was decided on long ago. American Presidents don't make the calls on it. They all work for the same bosses.

March 2001: “FAA intelligence: Warned that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, "specifically discussed airline hijackings and suicide operations"...The “FAA despite being focused on risks of hijackings overseas, warned airports in the spring of 2001 that if ‘the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable.’ "

The FAA had indeed considered the possibility that terrorists would hijack a plane and use it as a weapon. The FAA distributed a CD-ROM presentation to airlines and airports that "cited the possibility of a suicide hijacking" Aviation officials amassed so much information about the growing threat posed by terrorists that they conducted classified briefings for security officials at 19 of the nation's busiest airports to warn of the threat posed in particular by Mr. bin Laden, the report said." [NYT]

MAY 1, 2001: The CIA Tenet & Black report to the White House stated “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. They asked for CIA authority to attack Al Qaeda & Bin Laden but Bush would not grant it. [NYT, CBS 60 Minutes & Tenet's Book]

JULY 10, 2001: Cofer Black and George Tenet met with Condoleezza Rice to inform her about communications intercepts and other top-secret intelligence showing the increasing likelihood that al-Qaeda would soon attack the United States. They asked for CIA authority to attack Al Qaeda & Bin Laden but Bush would not grant it. [Washington Post, CBS 60 Minutes & Tenet's Book]

August 6, 2001, Presidential Daily Briefing: FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.

Russian President Putin called Bush the day before 9/11 & told him to watch out, Al-Qaeda has launched their big attack. Bush just let it happen!

Bush high school classmate General Tommy Franks gave the stand down orders to our troops to in Tora Bora so Osama Bin Laden could escape. Unclassified government records and interviews with central participants underlying this report removes any lingering doubts and makes it clear that Osama bin Laden was within our grasp at Tora Bora. The CIA and Delta Force commanders who spent three weeks at Tora Bora as well as other intelligence and military sources are certain he was there. Franks' second-in- command during the war, retired Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong, wrote in his autobiography that bin Laden was "definitely there when we hit the caves"

``We're Going to Lose Our Prey'' said CIA Director Tenet. He said it was evident from the start that aerial bombing would not be enough to get bin Laden at Tora Bora. Troops needed to be in the caves themselves, he wrote, but the Afghan militiamen were ``distinctly reluctant'' to put themselves in harm's way and there were not enough Americans on the scene. He said that senior CIA officials lobbied hard for inserting U.S. troops. Henry Crumpton, the head of special operations for the CIA's counterterrorism operation and chief of its Afghan strategy, made direct requests to Franks. Crumpton had told him that the back door to Pakistan was open and urged Franks to move more than 1,000 Marines who had set up a base near Kandahar to Tora Bora to block escape routes. But the CentCom commander rejected the idea...

Crumpton sensed that his earlier warnings to Franks and others at the Pentagon had not been relayed the President. So Crumpton went further, telling Bush that ``we're going to
lose our prey if we're not careful.'' He recommended that the Marines or other U.S. troops be rushed to Tora Bora. ``How bad off are these Afghani forces, really?'' asked Bush. ``Are they up to the job? ``Definitely not, Mr. President,'' Crumpton replied.``Definitely not.'' "

"Afghanistan CIA commander Gary Berntsen requested 800 Army Rangers and had disputes with the military over its refusal to provide the troops. The Delta Force Commander Dalton Fury said one of the key mistakes by U.S. commanders was not committing enough conventional troops to the battle at Tora Bora and not using U.S. forces to seal the escape routes. Brig. Gen. James Mattis, the commander of at least 1,200 Marines at a base outside Kandahar in November 2001, was convinced his troops could seal off Tora Bora. Michael E. O'Hanlon said the U.S. Central Command made preparations for sending several thousand troops to Tora Bora but rejected the plan in ``A Flawed Masterpiece'' "

Bush one declared war on Suddam Hussein. He invaded to protect Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Bush two ignored the warnings of the use by terrorists of airliners as weapons and took the activities of 9/11 which were capital crimes as an excuse to become the "War President". Cheney took the situation to enrich himself and his friends at Haliburton with no bid contracts justified because we were under terrorist threat.

The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq was perpetrated under false information and the need for Cheney to kill people on his enemies list documented in the "Project for the New America".

Bush believed God told him to start these wars.

Now going on two decades after the fact we are seeing the children of the killed and wounded band together to rid the region of foreign influence and the riddance of the worst of the tyrants in the region.

The brain dead republicans see no connection between Bush's wars and the emergence of ISIS or ISIL or whatever they are calling themselves. They continue to blame Obama and Hillary Clinton for the genesis of these terrorists.

Memo to you stupid RWers. Blowback is real. Responsibility for your actions is a real thing. FOX news tells you the world's problems and all domestic difficulties including hangnails are caused by Obama the monkey muslim Kenyan.

Blowback is going to kill Americans right here. You can thank Bush. You can thank stupidity and hubris.

I wish there was a cure for stupidity but there is not.

Wow...you are stupid....Bush one went to war because sadaam invaded Kuwait, and there was a coalition force that drove him out...

Bush 2 had vague warnings that muslims wanted to attack the United States, while clinton dealt with attack, after attack as a law enforcement issue....

Obama pulled out our troops after refusing a request by the military on the ground for 80,000 men to keep a lid on the country...he also gave the terrorists the date we were pulling out our troops.....and even with warnings of the growing threat by the new isis...he still pulled out our troops.

You leftards are dangerous when you have power.....

and obama is an atheist not a muslim....although since his father was a muslim that makes him a muslim....

ISIS is not executing large scale organized plots here in the USA knocking down skyscrapers & killing 10,000 US citizens like Bush let them do. Obama has kept the damage contained to lone wolf attacks.

Funny how we never talk about the full cost of Woodrow Wilson (D) and his unnecessary war of choice.
