Obviously 9/11/2001 is a date that happened when Bush was President but Trump meant it to try and associate Bush with not keeping Americans safe do you agree with that? Do you seriously agree that George W. Bush did not keep America safe post 9/11 which was caused by Clintons refusal to act against Terrorism.... This history is already litigated on September 12th 2001 George W. Bush was at over 90 percent approval rating.... Was Trump some outlier than? I don’t get why Conservatives would allow some STRANGER like Trump to bash George W. Bush and get away with it....
Bush Warned Before Sept. 11 of Bin Laden Plot to Hijack Planes

The White House acknowledged Wednesday night that U.S. intelligence agents warned President Bush a month before Sept. 11 that Usama bin Laden’s terror network might hijack American planes, but officials said the president had no way of knowing that they would use the planes as missiles for suicide attacks on American landmarks.
“There has been long-standing speculation, shared with the president, about the potential of hijackings in the traditional sense,” White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. “We had general threats involving Usama bin Laden around the world and including in the United States.”
He said the administration, acting on the information received in early August, notified the “appropriate agencies” that hijackings “in the traditional sense” were possible. The warning was never made public, he said. ...
... The Associated Press reported earlier this month that FBI headquarters did not act on a memo last July from its Arizona office warning there were a large number of Arabs seeking pilot, security and airport operations training at at least one U.S. flight school and which urged a check of all flight schools to identify more possible Middle Eastern students.
A section of that classified memo also makes a passing reference to bin Laden, speculating that Al Qaeda and other such groups could organize such flight training, officials said. The officials said, however, that the memo offered no evidence bin Laden was behind the students that raised the concern.
Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, said through a spokesman Wednesday that the revelations in the memos marked an important discovery in Congress’ investigation into why the FBI, CIA and other U.S. agencies failed to learn of and prevent the Sept. 11 plot.
“It represents a failure to connect the dots,” Graham spokesman Paul Anderson said. “This was dismissed rather lightly at FBI headquarters.” ...
From our own lawless domestic borders to disastrous foreign policies to Bush's "compassionate" decades long wars. Bush was a disaster and his policies all but looted the national treasure. What did we win? Obama will complete this job if he can.
Look Whitey, these guys do nothing but blame each other, then turn around in the next sentence and tell us what a fabulous job they've done they done in D.C.
What we have here is a pattern of decline into chaos, not leadership.
IMO Trump was under,inning any influence the upcoming scheduled campaign stops with W and Jeb’s. Jeb’s will not enjoy these stops as much. W might have to stick up for himself, which many of us wonder why he has never done in lo these many years. I fell out of love with W a long time ago and have been thinking lately that Jeb’s must have ridden the short bus. He is clueless but feels entitled to a worthless legacy.
Woah there, Jebbie! Put down the mouse and step away from the keyboard. Your pocket turtle has obviously had too much to drink tonight.
