Today on Jake Tapper, Jeb! stated that his brother George "responded to the 9/11 attacks and kept us safe." I would say the opposite. He actually ignored warnings that we were going to be attacked. And he made things much, much worse.
Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US was the President's Daily Brief prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency and given to U.S. President George W. Bush on Monday, August 6, 2001. The brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda 36 days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Mr. Bush seems to want to re-write history once again. I would also say that most of his subsequent actions led to the destabilizing of our Country.
His response to Afghanistan may have been appropriate, but the war in Iraq has been the most destabilizing action a President could have taken. And the premise to take us there was a lie fabricated by his cronies in the Administration.
This action has cost more money than ever imagined, not to mention lives lost in such an irresponsible war. Make no mistake, we are paying for it even now, 15 years later.
To me, everything that evil administration did with regard to 9/11 was a mistake. Torture. Lies. More lies.
Did the enhanced interrogation tactics make us safe? No. Did the Department of Homeland Security make us safe? I doubt that it has. How about giving up our freedoms by constantly being subject to spying? I don't think so.
Don't let this idiot get away with it. There's nothing George Bush did to help. And our Mission has yet to be accomplished.
