No, a thousand times No, Shrub You Failed in Your Mission to Keep America Safe

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/jeb-bush-9-11-terrorism-debate

snip:

CNN’s Wednesday night Republican debate, with its emphasis on personal animosity and weird answers about women on the $10 bill, provided plenty of entertainment value for political junkies and late night hosts. But the most consequential moment of the evening was a jaw-dropper of a lie that Jeb Bush told during one of the boring stretches in the middle of the three-hour slog.

In a bit of ugly sparring over who did or did not support the Iraq War, Jeb Bush, in a moment of pique, jumped in with, “You know what? As it relates to my brother, there is one thing I know for sure, he kept us safe.”

The audience, comprised of Republican primary voters went nuts, and so Bush doubled down on his claim that having 3,000 citizens die from a terrorist attack -- the largest in American history -- “kept us safe."

The greatest single lie of last night's blowhard fest. Arbusto Shrub failed miserably in his duties as CinC. Shrub ignored threats, wondered America while the U.S. was burning, then told everyone to duct tape their house and go shopping.

Perhaps someone will directly challenge Jeb.

I would love to see that one live.
