I know he had his faults....

Why do people feel compelled to add this to any statement about President Bush? We get it. Make it an acronym if you must: IKHHHFB... but please don’t feel the need to add the words to every comment about him.

...and then of course Clinton HAD to finish with a “look at me” moment...nice that they’re helping w/fundraising but in my opinion totally inappropriate to mention it at this solemn dedication.

Of course, he has to remind everyone he is no longer in office. What has it been, eleven years now?

On Clinton...I posted these notes earlier today:

By the way, today C-SPAN interviewed Michael Scheuer, former Chief (and creator) of the CIA Bin Laden Unit from 1996-1999, on Washington Journal today.

He was asked if it (getting Bin Laden) happened the way he thought it would happen or planned it to happen.

“It did not happen the way we planned it because under Mr Clinton we had no lethal authority. We could not have done this operation against Bin Laden. We were directed either to capture him through a kidnapping or to give the US military to use their air power.”

He said Clinton had TEN specific opportunities to get Bin Laden.

In the best opportunity, when Bin Laden was in the desert meeting with several UAE princes, he said that Clinton, rather than get Bin Laden, contacted one of the princes to warn them because Clinton was in the middle of a deal to sell planes to the UAE-—so, Scheuer said, Clinton chose to sell planes to Arabs rather than get Bin Laden and protect American lives.

Clinton had another opportunity in the third week of May 1998-— an opportunity to kidnap Bin Laden. He cancelled the operation.

Caller asked about Clinton & Bin Laden. Scheuer said the 911 report describes the 10 specific opportunities in detail. Had they been given lethal authority, Bin Laden would have been dead in spring of 99.

PS: Scheuer must have mentioned Clinton dozens of times in the interview and not ONCE did he refer to him as President -— it was always as Clinton or Mr. Clinton. His description of Clinton was scathing. Basically said Clinton never made a decision not based in pure self-interest.

On the recent terror alert, Scheuer said that the one thing the government has not mentioned is how these three terrorists got into the US. It would be terrible if they got through an airport or customs, but it’s going to be worse politically if they got in from Mexico or Canada, where there are no controls in some areas....In terms of our borders, the great majority of our maritime and land borders are completely uncontrolled.”

This interview is well worth listening to if you get an opportunity to read a transcript or catch a repeat of the program.

Thanks for sharing this, would have missed it otherwise. I’d listen to President Bush give 50 speeches before I’d bother w a word from Obama. Bush is honest, direct, and thoughtful, may God continue to bless him and Mrs. Bush in their well-deserved retirement.

For the first time ever, I actually don’t mind listening to clinton. He’s actually giving a decent speech.

Yes, an appropriate speech, and I believe, for once, he showed some true emotion. How any human could not become emotional in spending time with the families of 9/11 victims and heroes seems like an impossibility. A day that changed our nation forever.

“Since Clinton is speaking, are we going to hear from Carter too?”

I think they already read a note from him.

I agree...those arsehats tried to commercialize this into a fundraising event for an Islamic CRESCENT, rather than a solemn memorial event...GOD they make me PUKE!
GOD Bless President Bush for bringing humility and class to this day! AMEN

Call me crazy, but I even miss Clinton, compared to Obama.

Agree...Clinton was fine. He has that charisma and knows how to appropriate the right tones for the words he speaks.

He forgot to remind us that he was impeached however.

Change the design ... piece o' cake.

No money for a mosque, or whatever they call this abominable design

Sorry, but his being there is a desecration on that place. He was too busy diddling with interns in the Office to do his job...

What wonderful words. The bravery of ordinary people in extraordinary circumsatances..may they forever be the most striking example if what we human beings, American human beings, are capable of, even in our darkest of hours.

President Bush, I thank God you were our leader through those dark hours.

I'm ready to retract my comments. I wrote them before that dreadful ending.

He's just an older version of the reason why I attended the MFJ and Rally on the steps.

Sigh
