Good day all. It’s been years since I wrote anything about former President George Walker Bush, aka the Shrubbery. Under him the term “<insert president> Derangement Syndrome” first put in an appearance. I will admit, I voted for Shrubbery both times, but I slowly developed Bush Derangement Syndrome during his second term.
Bush was in office when Al Qaeda destroyed the World Trade Center, damaged the Pentagon and started the “Global War On Terror.” We went into Afghanistan to destroy Al Qaeda and capture or kill Osama bin Laden. As we saw, the initial assault went off spectacularly, then Bush and Cheney’s Globalist country club friends started tying the hands of our troops and took something that should have been over and done in a year at best and made it go on for 20 years. This led to the Biden Bug Out and the Fall of Kabul.
Recently, we had the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack. President’s Bumbles Dementia and Obama didn’t make any remarks. President Trump, the greatest President of the 21st Century, made a few remarks while visiting the NYPD and the NYFD. President Bush decided that he should polish his RINO Uniparty credentials by attacking the people who were angered by the Tainted Election of 2020. Here are the details from the Washington Examiner:
President Joe Biden was silent during Saturday’s 9/11 commemoration events. So were former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Former President Donald Trump visited a New York City police precinct and fire station, where he made a few impromptu remarks.
The only president who delivered a formal speech on 9/11 was former President George W. Bush. And it was terrible. In two ways. First, Bush’s speech was as much about decrying today’s political divisions as it was about remembering the events of Sept. 11. But Bush showed an astonishing lack of self-awareness of the role his own actions played in creating those divisions. And second, Bush helped widen those divisions by endorsing a Rachel Maddow-esque argument that an equivalence exists between the plane-hijacking, murderous terrorists of Sept. 11, 2001, and the Capitol rioters of Jan. 6, 2021 — a comparison that has no basis in fact but has done much to sour the national debate.
President Shrubbery spoke at the Shanksville Memorial, where the passengers of Flight 93 decided to fight back and almost retook the plane from the terrorists. It was during a call from Flight 93 that Todd Beamer provided one of history’s great tag lines. “Are you ready? Okay. Let’s Roll.” (This is probably up there with General Anthony McAulliffe, commander of the 101st Airborne division when surrounded by the Germans at Bastogne, replied to a demand to surrender with one word. “Nuts”)
President Shrubbery, spoke of the courage of the passengers who fought back, then, in typical Bush fashion, opened his mouth and inserted both feet. He had been talking about American unity after 9/11 and the sense of purpose we had to “Get the bastards.” It was then he started talking about all the divisions that have happened.
When it comes to the unity of America, those days seem distant from our own. A malign force seems at work in our common life that turns every disagreement into an argument and every argument into a clash of cultures. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear, and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation and our future together.
You certainly didn’t help things Bush. First, you and your Country Club RINO Neocon buddies decided to play nation building in Afghanistan rather then just finishing the job we sent out troops in to do. Then you decided to invade Iraq to show your Daddy just how tough you were.
What Bushed skipped was, first, his failures in the war in Afghanistan, and second, his failures in the war in Iraq. In Afghanistan, Bush failed to find and bring to justice Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, and Mullah Omar. And with the major 9/11 player Bush did capture, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Bush failed to deliver justice through a military commission trial and execution. The architect of 9/11 remains alive and well today, imprisoned at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Which President Bumbles Dementia, or at least whoever is pulling the strings of that meat puppet, is looking to release. Bush’s gutlessness to do what should have been done, taking Khalid out and shooting him is going to bite us again.
Also in Afghanistan, Bush set the war on a track of nation-building that was sure to fail and did, not only during Bush’s presidency but during Obama’s and Trump’s, until Biden clumsily put an end to it.
President Trump at least saw the futility of what was going on and started working on an exit strategy. Of course, Dementia Joe and his handlers couldn’t build on what President Trump was looking to do, oh know, Bumbles had to once again show his “Foreign Policy skills by once again screwing up by the numbers.
In Iraq, Bush started a major war by mistake. He will always maintain that in the big picture it was the right thing to do, but in his memoir, Bush admitted that he remains troubled by what he did. “The reality was that I had sent American troops into combat based in large part on intelligence that proved false,” Bush wrote. “I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.” The war in Iraq resulted in the deaths of 4,431 American military men and women, with 31,994 wounded.
Even still, we could have made things work in Iraq except for some major problems. First, there was no plan on what to do after we toppled Saddam Hussein. Then they put that blithering idiot, Paul Bremer in charge of Iraq, where he showed Bidenlike skill levels in screwing things up royally.
It was thanks to that invasion, along with your predilection for “Free Trade Agreements,” that freely traded American high paying jobs to foreign governments for massive increases in your Country Club Uniparty friends bank accounts, along with crashing the economy and that led the way to the “Great Mistake” Barack Obama, probably one of the most divisive presidents in over a century.
It wasn’t until Donald Trump came along with a promise to Make America Great Again, and who had little use for the RINO’s, Neocons and Beltway Uniparty trash who had done so much damage to the United States.
Bush’s second jaw-dropper was his oblique comparison of the 19 terrorists who hijacked four commercial jetliners on 9/11 with the rioters who descended on the Capitol on Jan. 6. Speaking of 9/11, Bush said, “Many Americans struggled to understand why an enemy would hate us with such zeal.” Then:
And we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit. And it is our continuing duty to confront them.
Bush did not explicitly say so, but he appeared to be referencing Jan. 6. And he used the rhetorical trick of denying that there was “cultural overlap” between the 9/11 terrorists and the Jan. 6 rioters before outlining areas of such overlap. They were similar in their “disdain for pluralism,” Bush said, their “disregard for human life,” and their “determination to defile national symbols.” In these, Bush argued, not only was there cultural overlap between the two groups — they actually came from “the same foul spirit.”
George Bush hates Donald Trump. He hated what Donald Trump did to the Bush Family heir apparent, Jeb! Bush, who showed America how to blow $100 million dollars and win…nothing. It isn’t just the Bush family, the Cheney family hates him as well. They hate the fact that their way has been flat out rejected by the Republican base and that they now have an actual alternative in the party. This has led them to going completely over the top. First with Liz Cheney voting to Impeach President Trump for nothing, now with George Bush equating the “Deplorables” with the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
With that, Bush joined a group of commentators, mostly but not entirely on the left, who maintain that 9/11 and 1/6 are similar.
9/11 was an assault on America by an enemy dedicated to bringing back the 11th century. What January 6th was, was a wake up call to the “Ruling Elites.” A few hundred people, with a number of “Agents Provocateurs” were able to get through the security around the congress and scare the crap out of the Democrats and the Country Club RINO’s.
Unlike the Al Qaeda terrorists, these people intended no harm to the Uniparty twerps in Congress. Once they got in, most acted like tourists including staying behind the rope lines and taking pictures. If they had been a serious Insurrection, they would have come armed, they would have numbered in the thousands and they would have mowed down the Capitol and Washington Police.
This is what is terrifying people like the Bush’s and the Cheney’s. They’ve lost control of the Party. Liz Cheney has been stripped of her leadership posts and is going to lose her primary. Others of her ilk have already announced that they won’t be seeking reelection in 2022. Why? They know they are going to be crushed.
Parts of the Capitol were ransacked, but not seriously enough that Congress could not meet and finish its election certification work on the night of the riot. The riot was appalling, and the participants deserve punishment, but it was simply nothing like Sept. 11. To visualize the difference, imagine that on the night of the 9/11 attacks, there was a convention that went on as scheduled at the World Trade Center.
Somehow, I don’t consider walking off with the Speaker’s podium to be much in the way of a good “Ransack.” Was there damage? Yes, but it was mostly doors and windows. No fires were set and none of the artworks or any of the other finery was damaged, or, apparently, even touched.
In its style, Bush’s brief Shanksville speech — it ran less than 10 minutes — resembled some of the most memorable of his presidency. In public, Bush could be embarrassingly inarticulate off-the-cuff, but during his White House years, he delivered a few set-piece speeches, often penned by senior aide Michael Gerson, that soared in rhetoric and ambition. In Shanksville, Bush’s words did not soar, but they had a quality similar to his older speeches.
Bush not only didn’t soar, with his remarks, he has cemented his reputation as nothing more than a spineless RINO squish who will turn on people he considers to be “Lesser” then himself and his country club cronies. The Globalists, Swamp dwellers and others in the Uniparty like to say that Bush kept us safe. Not really. He managed to create a nice internal security system that is starting to look like something out of East Germany.
I’m putting up the YouTube video so you may watch and decide for yourselves. I’ve made my decision.
President George Walker Bush, much like his daddy, George Herbert Walker Bush, were mediocre to poor presidents. In GHW Bush’s case, he rode the coattails of the Greatest President of the 20th Century, Ronald Reagan, into office. Once in, he promptly started reversing everything good that Reagan did. President Trump came in and started working to undo decades, actually over a century of damage done to America, our Constitution and our economy. George W. Bush showed why most Republicans want nothing to do with him.
