Sadly, the ‘real 9/11’ turned out to be 8 years of liberal whining, media malpractice, embedded spies and back stabbers, outright lying bastards, and the death of conservatism due to the chinese water torture of the aforementioned.

I appreciate the guy’s comments............however I, for one, am really glad that George W. Bush was my President after 9-11.

Bush enjoyed extended, unprecedented, 90% approval for months following 9/11. The democrats panicked. They saw their access to the trough threatened as never before. The future of their wretched party was in doubt.

They had no alternative but to destroy the president even at the obvious dreadful cost to their own country and people. The 'rats didn't care. And Bush misunderstood the nature of the domestic threat. He thought the 'rats were simply engaging in politics as usual. He was wrong.

Thus Bush Derangement Syndrome was born.

With a responsible and loyal rather than a treasonous opposition, history would be very different, and much more salutary for the nation.

Yep Gore Kerry or Bush.

If Gore won we would still be having investigations to find out what went wrong on 911..

Kerry would be blaming it on America..

I will go with Bush

Hey - folks read #5.

That is as concise and to-the-point analysis of the George Bush years as I have ever read.

It's a keeper....in my save file! Thanks Buzzard.

BDS always existed check out some of the sh*t,that was going around when he ran for Gov of Texas.

Bush's problem is imho he is a nice guy, not good if you are a politician.

And with those comments...Rourke probably lost his shot at an Oscar.

I don’t participate in Hollyweird at any level. My personal separation started November 5, 2008. I’ve never been happier.

The first thought that ran through my mind and everyone in earshot when 9/11 happened was “Thank god Algore is not the president!”. If you have a different opinion please share.

Rourke plays St Francis in a film titled “Francis”. He is wonderful. I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT...a must see.

Total agreement....although I'm not sure he would have done as much damage to America as President as he has done as GW guru and author of an "Inconvienent Truth".

...only in partial sarcasm

Saddam would be sitting pretty in Baghdad too- and I think he would’ve gotten his hands on nukes.
