I think you overstate the negative while forgetting just how significant the 9/11 terrorism was to everyone. They hit multiple targets and planned even more. The murdered thousands of Americans. Had team W not been on the ball, it would have been worse. We were stunned. We had no idea what to expect next, at least for a time. People were scared. W handled it very well overall. Zero totally changed the outcome by making his goal withdrawal rather than victory.
Did W go after the Saudi Royal family members that FUNDED the Attack ....
NO .
In fact, the Saudi Royal got special treatment during 9-11 and were allowed to Fly out during the NO FLY Ban,
Did W stop the Fast track Student Visas program that allowed these Saudi terrorist into this country !
No . that program was never stopped !
in fact , I Think they expanded it.
Did W ever do anything about CAIR and all these radical mosques that are still open in the US .
No, in fact W lets the Saudi bankroll more mosques and invites CAIR to the WH!
What did We get ?.
A new bloated useless federal employee mess called homeland security which strip searches 8 year old girls ! So cut the crap Cruz Crazy . Your defending W in order to take more cheap shots at Trump. Enough of your smears, lies and spin .
I lost three friends on 9/11.
One was a fireman whose body was not recovered until after they removed the ramp down in the WTC site.
It was left to the everyday Americans on board Flight 93, of whom I knew two, to save the Capitol from destruction.
I well remember the sadness and anger and unity after 9/11. It was the first time this country was united in my lifetime.
We were told to stand down as Islam was religion of peace. A bold faced lie to the American people.
Our military responded brilliantly, but the GW Bush team almost lost Iraq in 2006; and we did not get Bin Laden in 2001.
No question that Obama, to advance the goals of the Caliphate, undid our gains in those two places.
But the incident with the Chinese forcing down our plane in April, 2001 was a foretaste of what kind of response we would have under GW.
By remaining silent during all the criticism after Iraq, GW allowed the media and Democrat/leftist template to be set, and undid the good that was done.
We knew Obama would throw it all away, but he was re-elected in 2012.
And Preibus and Rove kept their jobs.
Which also shows you how corrupt the GOP-E is.
Trump is the only one who will smash the DC Cartel.
He is an imperfect messenger, but he is the best we have got. The other candidates are either insiders or too weak to do the job.
It is an objective documented fact that Bush negotiated and sign US/Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. That agreement signed by the leaders of Iraq and the USA contained the time line for withdrawal of US forces from Iraq.
