"...he kept us safe, remember the rubble?"

[complain jane]

There's Jeb!'s new slogan.

BUSH:
Remember the rubble?

[portlander23]

1. I remember my pet goat

[complain jane]

10. I thought it was Three Billy Goats Gruff

I forgot it was My Pet Goat

[Frustratedlady]

2. And, I won't forget the responders' health problems from that very rubble/dust.

Which the Bush administration kindly fought to underfund health care for those afflicted.

I wouldn't recommend Jeb reminding anyone of the rubble from there nor the water from Katrina.

What was it George said? "You've covered your ass!" when warned about the upcoming attack?

[RandySF]

3. I remember this

[RandySF]

4. ..and this

[portlander23]

6. ... and this

[FreakinDJ]

5. Osama Been Forgotten - until Obama got him

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. I CAN NOT believe he got away with that utter bullshit. I was screaming

at the TV - "9-11"

[jberryhill]

9. And he kept our economy strong

9/11 occurred outside of the confines of the space-time continuum, apparently.

[LeatherSofa]

14. Me either.

What was even more infuriating was when he followed it up with a reference to "remember the firefighter and my brother's arm on his shoulder?" Sheeze...it was like, "Remember the photo-op my brother took with the firefighter"? I nearly barfed.

[LiberalElite]

18. I didn't watch the clown show but

I saw this part on the news this a.m. and yelled HE DID NOT! What makes it worse is this crap was applauded.

[RandySF]

8. Come to think of it...

Did ANY of George H.W. Bush's kids serve in the military (another than W's phone Guard duty)?

[napkinz]

11. "kept us safe" ...

[Octafish]

31. ''All right, you've covered your ass.'' -- George W Bush to CIA briefer, August 2001.

From WaPo's review of Suskind's book:

Tenet and his loyalists also settle a few scores with the White House here. The book's opening anecdote tells of an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US." Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now." Three months later, with bin Laden holed up in the Afghan mountain redoubt of Tora Bora, the CIA official managing the Afghanistan campaign, Henry A. Crumpton (now the State Department's counterterrorism chief), brought a detailed map to Bush and Cheney. White House accounts have long insisted that Bush had every reason to believe that Pakistan's army and pro-U.S. Afghan militias had bin Laden cornered and that there was no reason to commit large numbers of U.S. troops to get him. But Crumpton's message in the Oval Office, as told through Suskind, was blunt: The surrogate forces were "definitely not" up to the job, and "we're going to lose our prey if we're not careful."

Then, there's Silberman and the October Surprise. Holy crap of shining crapola as they say!

Federal Appeals Judge Compares People Who Say Bush Lied To Rise Of Nazis

A federal appeals judge wrote in a column published on Sunday that people who accuse former President George W. Bush of lying about the Iraq War are peddling myths like those that led to the rise of Hitler.

Laurence H. Silberman, a federal appellate judge appointed by President Ronald Reagan, wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the idea the Bush administration "lied us into Iraq" has gone from "antiwar slogan to journalistic fact."

"It is one thing to assert, then or now, that the Iraq war was ill-advised," he wrote. "It is quite another to make the horrendous charge that President Bush lied to or deceived the American people about the threat from Saddam."

After re-litigating the case for invading Iraq, Silberman wrote that the charge could have "potentially dire consequences."

"I am reminded of a similarly baseless accusation that helped the Nazis come to power in Germany: that the German army had not really lost World War I, that the soldiers instead had been 'stabbed in the back' by politicians," he wrote.

These are cursed interesting times, napkinz. Perhaps the arch-traitors and master criminals will get their day in court.

[napkinz]

32. "Perhaps the arch-traitors and master criminals will get their day in court"

more likely they would be part of a JEB! administration heaven forbid he wins the election

[librechik]

12. the rubble is evidence Bush DIDn't protect us.

These neocons actually believe the re-written history they spew.

19. There were dead people under the rubble...you MORON!

[napkinz]

24. and let's not forget Katrina

[napkinz]

15. "there he goes again"

[LiberalElite]

16. This won't quite fit right in with

Remember the Alamo!

Remember the Lusitania!

Remember the Maine!

Remember the rubble!

Yeah I remember the rubble. There was more than a million tons, a lot of it piled several stories high and it smoldered for weeks. That's because your moron brother kept us safe. Dipshit.

17. It is so ridiculous how the crowd cheered

So clueless. Successful attack by Al Qaeda is somehow an achievement.

[Stuart G]

20. I think those words, "He kept us safe"...will be the end of Jeb Bush..

Yes, he got a cheer, but this is real news..to many people and is being repeated and discussed in many places..

Can you see an election commercial showing what a liar Jeb is ..."Jeb says, "he kept us safe"..with pictures like have been posted here.. Jeb can not survive that. Saying that again in the debate, is the end of Jeb in my opinion.

I could be wrong, and I have to admit that I am often wrong, but this time..I think Jeb lost it for good.. This will go on as long as Jeb is in politics.,,,"He kept us safe"....sure...

How about picture 6 in the series???

post 11...by napkinz.


next to Jeb saying about his brother, "He kept us safe"

[LittleBlue]

22. Totally agreed

I was shocked that Jeb came back with that line. Even more shocked that Trump didn't retort what everyone was thinking. Maybe he realized how badly Jeb fucked up on that, or maybe the crowd cheering made him relent. Either way, Jeb looks finished after that performance.

[vanlassie]

21. DONT FORGET POLAND.

[malaise]

23. Total disconnect

The rubble is proof that he didn't keep America safe. JebusEnoughBushes is clueless

Thanks

26. Bush and Giuliani were disasters

Bushco ignored the warnings, and Giuliani told folks to stay at their desks.

[napkinz]

27. ...

[get the red out]

29. And the anthrax mailings

They sure solved that one beyond doubt!

Double-whammy on the Bush watch, we were so incredibly "safe".

[deutsey]

30. A living example of Doublethink

Initially asserting one thing followed immediately by something that directly contradicts it and simultaneously believing both statements to be true.



Beyond that, I love "Remember the Rubble" as Jeb's campaign slogan.

[TwilightGardener]

33. I can't even come up with a snark for this. It's just too stupid of a thing to say.
