Didn't 9/11 happen under bush's watch?

[NJmaverick]

How can that lying sack of weasel crap, claim the country is safe under him?!?!? He allowed over 3000 Americans to die on 9/11. He allowed over 1100 Americans to die as a result of HIS war in Iraq. Now untold 10s of thousands will die as a result of his screw ups with the flu vaccine.

1. I just screamed that at the TV

CNN is on! I am not a praying man but getting Bush out of office may require dusting off the kneeler.

2. Nothing ever happens on his watch

That's the beauty of his idiot base of voters.

3. Well cause, ya see, it was Clinton's fault

Clinton didn't do nothin to terrorists for 8 years and then whammo they planned a big attack that happened only 9 months into my presidency.

Ya see, I'm a uniter, not a divider so why would terrorists attack me? The plans were all laid out and just waiting for the magic day of 9/11 (cause it is the same day as the emergency response system and the terrorists were bound and determined to make a statement against emergency response personell).

Seriously, I cannot fathom why we could allow Bush to say "not my fault". He was in office 9 months (five if you factor in his vacation) which is plenty of time to read a memo, take action against terrorists, and do his freaking job.

6. Not to mention

The D.C. Snipers
Shoe Bomber (after security was supposed to be shored up)
Anthrax mailings
Increased worldwide terrorism (but hey, "as long as it doesn't happen over HERE, WHO CARES?!?" Right, freeptards?)
Lax inspection/policing of ports/cargo/shorelines

Sort of kills the whole "Bush makes me SAFE" argument, doesn't it?

7. I have been thinking about this so much.

He did'nt protect us.During his 32 day vacation in Crawford, he had the PDB on his desk. "Bin Ladin determined to strike in US".Bart.Cop has had the cartoon up recently showing C.Rice saying, if only I had know their flight numbers and seat numbers, maybe we could have stopped them.

8. No only that, Bush vacationed all of August prior to 911

This, after only being in office for 7 months and after being warned repeatedly of an imminent terrorist attack.

When he got his sorry, lazy, Drug Store Cowboy Ass back in the oval office a week before 911 he AGAIN dismissed urgent intelligence reports of a surprise attack on America "at any time".

Even after learning of the first plane crashing into the WTC, Bush laughed it off as "a bad pilot" without thinking that the odds on probable cause is that it was terrorists and proceeded with the kindergarten photo op. Then EVEN AFER being told of the second plane hitting the second WTC and that "America is under Attack" he sat with a vacant look on his face like the Dumb Ass he is for 7 friggin minutes while America continued to be attacked by terrorists. Then, he fled in fear of his safety for hours while the WTC center burned and crashed and the Pentagon smoldered.

How, this story got lost is a testament to BushCo's power over the media and the dumbing down of American.

Thank You Michael Moore for bringing the Truth of Bush's Cowardice and Incompetence to light for millions of Americans.

9. And they say the peope in asylums are crazy.... just look in the street at

any shrub supporter.... there you will see dazed and confused people, thinking what they are programmed to think... repeating soundbites culled from the festering airwaves of what was once journalistic integrity and honor.

The whole thing has become a circus and we are captive patrons.

Which ring will they be performing in next?

The ring of fear?

The ring of secrecy?

The ring of irresponsibility to the people they work for?

The ring of corporate influence peddling and greed?

The ring of torture and inhumane practices?

The ring of warmongering for profit?

I hope things change soon... cuz I am about to ring someone's neck if they don't.... heh, heh, heh....

11. Yep, Bush supporters are brainwashed

I ought to know, I have a few in my family. They are beyond all reason. They put up an invisible wall every time I bring out the unholy truth about Shrub and his Family of Plundering Pirates. For every argument I pose regarding the unfitness of Shrub they have some wild story, or excuse they got from Rush L. or Faux News.

One of my brothers told me point blank that our soldiers in Iraq are being killed at a lesser rate than highway fatalities in the U.S., as if this somehow justified the war. That was his response after I told him the whole invasion of Iraq was based on lies and deceit and it's been proven. I couldn't believe it. I mean is the fact that American soldiers are not being slaughtered in greater numbers supposed to be a rational for why we are in Iraq in the first place? My brother is a real smart guy but when it comes to politics and Bush he is, well, a Kool Aid drinker.

14. I've wondered about this for a while...

“Mr. Bush arrived at the school, just before 9 am, expecting to be met by its motherly principal, Gwen Rigell. Instead he was pulled sharply aside by the familiar, bulky figure of 51-year-old Karl Rove, a veteran political fixer and trusted aide of both Mr. Bush and his father, George Sr. Mr. Rove, a fellow Texan with an expansive manner and a colorful turn of phrase, told the President that a large commercial airliner (American Flight 11) had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre . Mr. Bush clenched his teeth, lowered his bottom lip and said something inaudible. Then he went into the school.” William Langley, “Revealed: What Really Went on During Bush’s ‘Missing Hours,’” The Telegraph, December 16, 2001 - From: Fahrenheit 9/11 Notes + Sources

Don't you think it's a little odd that Karl Rove was AT the school that morning to meet the limo?

10. YOU MAY BE RIGHT! I think it DID happen on Bush's watch...

My goodness; I can't believe I didn't think of that ;)

It's almost like his incompetence and arrogance has consequences or something...

[stray cat]

12. Be gentle, Bush was on vacation. Working is hard work, its hard.
