Bush was asleep at the wheel on Sept 11th, 2001....

[kentuck]

when our country was attacked by terrorists.

Then he said he was a uniter, not a divider.

And he said he would get Osama bin Laden, dead or alive.

And he invaded Iraq on a pack of lies. And now over 2200 troops are dead.

He said the oil in Iraq would pay for the war.

And he said we could get the big taxcuts and balance the budget...Now, we are almost $3 trillion more in debt.

He has been a miserable failure. The war in Iraq has been a failure. His entire presidency has been a failure. And that's the truth.

[Uncle Joe]

1. Sounds like you hit the nail on the head kentuck.

Kicked and nominated.

:kick:

[RobertSeattle]

2. Nice summary

[kentuck]

3. Since they want to run on their strong defense credentials again...

Isn't it time to tell the truth on this failure?

[BlueEyedSon]

4. Which is funny, because he was already wiretapping for al Q info pre 9/11

[kentuck]

5. Our Party has withheld the truth from the people because we are at war..

But, the time has come to tell the truth about George W Bush. We cannot permit him to destroy our nation any further. He must go and his Republican supporters must go with him. People can see what is happening. Their lies must end.

[rurallib]

6. Funny, I don't think he was a sllep on 9/11

based on what I have seen and read, 9/11 (the New Pearl Harbor) went almost exactly as planned for the administration. Bush probably could have slept though, since Cheney's in charge anyway.

[kentuck]

7. He invited the attack...

with his cockwalking arrogance and his threats and disregard for the Middle East. Now that the egg has been broken, he wants to put it back together and call it "democracy"....

[mandyky]

8. And then there was Katrina

Gee Du(m)b doesn't know enough to come off vacation. The August 6TH PDB would have done it for me, and my staff wouldn't have had to make a DVD about Katrina surivors without food and water for me to come off that vacation. But after all, we are dealing with a spoiled brat frat boy, who claims to love Christ, but he acts more like Nero fiddling while Rome burnt.

[kentuck]

9. And his chickenshit advisers were told not to bother him when...

...he is on vacation. So the water kept on rising and people drowned. Katrina. Who could forget Katrina? Then he went down and turned on a few spotlights in Jackson Square and gave the people a big bag of bullshit and went back to doing what he does best - politicking.

10. ABC

Anything But Clinton

Anything that Clinton supported, promoted, or enacted had to be immediately rejected, discouraged, and revered.

It was as if those 8 years had not happened.

The ergonomics study (initiated by Eliz.Dole during Poppa's administration) was reversed, the federal land protections (due to 10 Million opinions from US citizens) was reversed, the attention constantly paid to terrorism was completely ignored. January 23, 2001 they were already laying out plans for attacking Iraq.

I don't subscribe to LIHOP or MIHOP I just won't "go there". I do however find conclusive evidence of complete incompetence and homocidal negligence.

[kentuck]

11. He even pulled back the ships that were on the coast of Pakistan...

lobbing missiles at Osama bin Laden...Bush ordered the ships to draw back....unfortunately.

[underpants]

18. That's right

We should have seen the media cover coming when he apologized to the Chinese for them knocking our plane out of the sky (failed to translate and re-translate the message)and they made almost no mention of it. Let us not forget how the culture of corruption officially began-the campaign contributor who was allowed to PILOT A NUCLEAR SUB and ended up killing Japanese school kids.

Wow doesn't that seem like it was ten years ago.

[kentuck]

21. Even before that....

When he let all his Enron buddies pilot the nuclear submarine and it surfaced and killed those Japanese students on their boat. Then he begged the Russians to bring back our spyplane in pieces from the Chinese island...How humiliating!

[mzmolly]

12. And, the media treats him like a savior because he can hold a bullhorn

and "appear" resolute. :eyes:

[kentuck]

13. And what were the words that he said that were so "inspiring" ??

(The people that knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us....) Something like that?

It was equal to FDR and Lincoln, whatever he said... <sarcasm off>

[mzmolly]

20. LOL. Yeah, something like that. Though we are supposedly hearing from

THEM again via the new Osama BL threat. :eyes:

[DoYouEverWonder]

30. It's all an illusion

It's all about appearances.

[tabasco]

35. No, the media treats him like a savior ...

because he represents the corporate interests in this country and the media is nothing more than the PR branches of giant multinational, war-profiteering corporations.

More tax cuts for the rich! Hooray! He's our savior!!

The corporate media must be destroyed.

[mzmolly]

38. True. Yours is the REAL reason.

eom

[RJRoss]

14. I made this one up

Bush was asleep at the wheel on 9/11. Now that he's awake, he's driving the country into the ditch to avoid oncoming traffic.

[laruemtt]

15. that's pretty funny RJRoss!

welcome to DU. :hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

16. Actually I think everything has gone exactly as he and his cronies have

planned it since PNAC was formed, and in fact, even prior to that.

Nothing that has happened since W announced he was running for Pretzledent has been an accident or not gone exactly according to plan. :tinfoilhat:

[DoYouEverWonder]

31. Well there have been some screw ups

and their plan is falling apart. Unfortunately for some of these maniacs, that is the plan. Either way the rest of are screwed.

[kster]

17. * 9/11

[driver8]

36. LOL!! Perfect!! n/t

[bush_is_wacko]

19. You still think he was asleep? I think he was AT the wheel on 911

controlling and allowing the whole thing to happen. This all stinks like a Hitler rerun. The BFEE had a front row show for that takeover as well. They learned everything they needed to learn and they are using his textbook.

War may wreck the economies of countries but it has ALWAYS been an opportunity to build the coffers of individuals that are in the right place at the right time.

[realFedUp]

26. clearly there are a lot of signs they knew it was coming....

so many unanswered questions still and we
don't want to wait for the Oliver Stone film.

[Olney Blue]

37. What you are saying implies competence. I don't see any.

[bush_is_wacko]

39. Jr. is the family idiot, I agree but Jr. isn't running the show as

evidenced by his dependence on his earpiece every time he has to appear "unscripted". "Competence" is definitely there, however. How do you think this guy stole two elections? How do you think it is possible for him to REPEATEDLY admit to criminal behavior and give lame excuses for that behavior and get away with it? "Competence" is not reserved to those that would do good deeds. Evil "competence" is easily disguised as incompetence. That is how they get away with it.

[wicket]

22. Well said!

:kick:

[kentuck]

23. The Democrats should have told the truth from the beginning but...

our country was attacked by the terrorists and they did not think it appropriate to place the blame where it belonged - in the White House. On Sept 11th, 2001, George W Bush had spent more days at Crawford, TX than he had spent at the White House. He had left a memo on his desk that said Osama was determined to strike the US. But, the Democrats, out of concern for our country, did not blame Bush or Cheney. But, in hindsight, perhaps they should have?

Because Bush and Cheney took their grandest failure, asleep at the wheel, and turned it into a fear machine for political advantage. They turned their weakness into a strength because the Democrats refused to tell the truth, out of concern for the safety of our nation. But now, the threat is not from the terrorists, but from these cowards in the White House. We should hesitate no longer in letting people know that 9/11 happened on their watch because of ineptitude and incompetence. Their facade of strong leadership can no longer be tolerated.

[Swamp Rat]

24. Bush said he would help us in New Orleans, BUT HE HAS NOT!

:mad:

[kentuck]

25. He talks the talk but he doesn't walk the walk....

He never has. he's a chickenshit and a liar. And worse.

[robbedvoter]

27. Or as Bill Maher put it:

New Rule: You can't run on a mistake. Franklin Roosevelt didn't run for re-election claiming Pearl Harbor was his finest hour. 9/11 wasn't a triumph of the human spirit. It was a fuck-up by a guy on vacation."

also no one seems to mention that 3000 people (more than on 911) died because of katrina - the other fuck-up by a guy on vacation.

[kentuck]

28. That's a pretty good summary...

and in simple terms that even Americans can understand...

[ThatsMyBarack]

29. Not exactly....

....* was busy reading My Pet Goat to schoolkids, right. Oh, well, I guess that's the same difference....

[VOX]

32. PNAC: "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor"

[kentuck]

33. The truth is simple...

and Bush cannot respond to it. Only our silence lets him strut around like the Great Protector.

[Carni]

34. Not to mention he F'd up even worse on Aug 29th

How many are actually dead in New Orleans?

They'll never tell us because I guarantee more died than on 911!

Throw in the number of troops that died because they didn't have the proper body armor--it's just mind boggling!
