Bush did nothing to enhance our defenses against terrorism. Didn't even meet with his antiterrorism expertsBush ignored the threat of terrorism. It was not high on his list of things to doIt would not make a difference. Every nuance that even came close to indicating Bush knew would be blown out of proportions.
My question still stands, why in the hell does anyone think that Bush could have done something that the CIA and FBI should not have already done. What is needed is the email, letter, note or witness to Bush telling the CIA and FBI not to do their job.
Because the question was never asked and the directive never given. An order can't be followed if it's never given.
I might be reading you wrongly but what order should have been given? Are you really trying to convince me that the CIA and FBI knew what was going to happen but did NOTHING because GWB didn't tell them too? Really? That is about as absurd of thinking as I think a person could have. Bush may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer but he wasn't evil. To do what I think you are suggesting is beyond evil. Trump is full of crap and if you agree with him, well.....
If he had taken a more proactive stance against terrorism, could he have prevented the attacks? We will never know
Did he keep us safe? Not even close
And prior to, or even after, what would you have him do? What warnings did Clinton ignore prior to the first WTC bombing? No one asks because it is absurd defective thinking to believe that ANYONE would ignore a threat. Especially agencies that are for no other reasons then to prevent such things from happening. I will say there may have been some things ignored but not on GWB's level. Why the things were ignored may have been nefarious but more then likely it was due to no one thinking anyone could do such a thing or the incompetence that the CIA and FBI has shown before and after.
One thing that could have been done and is an FAA issue is cockpit security. Pilots for years complained about the security and no one did a thing. That motive is easy to figure out, money.
He did not keep us safe
He was in office 7 months, and he was not a dictator.
