Bush says 'no debate' about his keeping US safe

CARLISLE, Pa. – President George W. Bush, ever focused on his legacy, said Wednesday "there can be no debate" about his record of preventing another terrorist attack. Evoking harrowing memories of Sept. 11, 2001, Bush said virtually no one could have predicted back then that the country would not be hit again for the rest of his presidency.

"It's not a matter of luck," Bush said, defending his security policies.

Addressing a supportive military audience at the U.S. Army War College, Bush sought to shape how he will remembered after Barack Obama succeeds him on Jan. 20. Bush held little back in depicting his two terms as a time of transformational change, saying the world has "more people live in liberty than at any other time in human history."

He credited his administration terrorism fighting strategy: reorganizing the government's intelligence and military communities to confront the threat; pre-emptively targeting potential threats and making no distinction between terrorists and their supporters; and nurturing democracies.

Fucker.

[ACTION BASTARD]

1. Haw! Nothing he can do to change his legacy of fail.

[randr]

2. His negligence allowed the worse terrorist attack to happen

but he wants credit for the fact that no one else attacked us?
We will be blessed to have the twisted logic of this baboon out of our collective consciousness.

[bulloney]

11. Bush's logic that we're safer because there have been no attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11 is flawed.

It's like an alcoholic claiming he's cured because he's had no DUIs for a while, but he's still drinking.

The U.S. is still engaging in the behavior and policies that promote an attack on us. It's increased terrorism around the world. It just hasn't happened on our soil yet.

[mamameow]

24. OR!!!!!!!

he's like the orphan who throws himself on the mercy of the court for being an orphan after he has killed his parents. scum, through and through. he said he did not compromise his soul for popularity but the fucker compromised everyone else's. it is our souls he was entrusted with and he destroyed the very soul of this country. please georgie SHUT UP!!!!!!

[denverbill]

3. Safe. Yeah, like prisoners are safe.

Our retirements are shot to hell, jobs are rolling out of America to third world countries, baby boomers are set to retire and we have no way to cover their medical bills, we are eating melamine and lead infused foods, we are told it's fine to take drugs made in China, but not those made in America and reimported from Canada, we suffered the worst terrorist attack in world history and the worst avoidable natural disaster in US history, 4000 US soldiers are dead, and our entire banking system is near collapse. If we are lucky, we won't go into hyperinflation or the worst depression in modern history.

You're doin' a heckuva job, Georgie.

Thanks to your strip-searching of little old ladies at airports, we haven't had another terrorist attack yet. Unfortunately, we don't really have much to live for either.

[No Elephants]

4. 911 happened on his watch (and Guiliani's). The anthrax business happened on Bush's watch as

well. If he had actually prevented anything significant, we would have heard about it--every day for months--and we'd still be hearing about it. All we ever heard about was the Fort Dix ludicrousness.

Please, Dummya. Just leave.

[county worker]

5. St George headed for Mt Rushmore!

What a sick fuck he is!

[pjt7]

7. He is the only President to have allowed

such a massive attack on our mainland.

That equates to failure.

There is no argument.

[ixion]

6. he's right... there is no debate... he did not keep us safe

he did, in fact, destroy our republic, IMO, and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people along the way. :(

[BlueStater]

8. The world is a far more dangerous place than it was in 2001 thanks to this shitball. n/t

[dipsydoodle]

9. Mass debate

might be more appropriate comimg from him. Wanker.

[HopeHoops]

10. I agree with Bush for once! No debate! --------> FAILURE

[Hulk]

12. Why do these dumb shits omit the ONE we had on his watch???? 9/11 ring a bell anyone?

He did no better than any other dumb shit could have done after we were woken up from ignoring the warnings. Nice job condom rice and co.

I think Alfred E. Newman could have done as much or better.

And what a "hero" he turned out to be during Katrina. God...what would we have done without his leadership and "good job brownie" in control.

What a f*cking ass wipe.

This guy is beyond retarded.

[truthisfreedom]

13. LIHOP MIHOP, georgie. When you stop attacking the United States, we stop getting attacked.

It's that simple.

[santamargarita]

14. There is NO debate about you being a War Criminal - Bush!

This asshole thinks he's going to rewrite history - no fucking way!

[uppityperson]

15. There is no debate since terrorist attacks have happened

911, anthrax, just to name a couple

[truth2power]

16. Cause & effect. The Monkey's jabbering proves nothing...

There could be a number of reasons why we haven't been attacked since 9/11.

My personal favorite is that Bushco achieved their goal (instilling fear) with their little false-flag operation. No need for an encore.

Nevertheless, I find the idea that the Torturer-in-Chief has protected us from anything to be ludicrous

[Shipwack]

17. Of course there haven't been... He caved in to OBL's demands

Osama wanted US forces withdrawn from Saudi Arabia. Bush has withdrawn them. Osama says "Mission Accomplished!"

[Serial Mom]

18. Clinton kept us safe from 1993 until 2001 when he left office...

so what the hell is dubya bragging about?!?!?!?

[jeffgad]

19. What attack did he stop??? Does anyone honestly believe that

if they'd prevented a plot from succeeding they wouldn't have been crowing about it? There were no more attacks because no one CHOSE to attack. Sheesh.

[Lorien]

20. I guess that he's too drunk to remember 9/11/01. n/t

[quiet.american]

21. Looking forward to not daily boiling with rage over this arrogant and traitorous idiot. nt

[truthisfreedom]

22. He certainly didn't keep us safe from the terrorists on Wall Street who looted America on his watch.

The financial damage done to this country on his watch was far greater than that of 9-11-2001.

[LynnTheDem]

23. Except for that little September 11, 2001 incident...

Dear Georgie;

Fuck off, MFer.

[Javaman]

25. so 9/11 and the anthrax attacks were mcguffins?

what a fucking asshole*.
