That's some pretty STRONG "Kool-Aid" that you've been drinking, eh AAA? Bush wasn't even President. Cheney did all of the "heavy-lifting" and Bush was his "puppet" . . . spending 25% of his Presidency on VACATION. Integrity and Maturity in the Bush Administration??? That's too funny dude. How much integrity did the Bush Administration show when Bush's appointed chairman of the Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC), Pat Wood III sat idly by while Enron manipulated (the 6th largest economy in the world) - - - California's power grid during the Recession of 2001??? Once again, AAA shows that he still has his "rose-colored" glasses on and his nose planted firmly up George Bush's bum.
If Bush had did a better job and spent less time on vacation he might have prevented 9-11.Bush supporters want to blame his problems on 9-11,But 9-11 Happened on his watch,making it his fault.Bush had 10 months to prepare for and prevent 9-11 The unemployment rate today is around 7 % thanks to Bush's polices 21 % is too high,But If interest rates weren't so low the current housing situation wouldn't be so bad and the value of the American dollar wouldn't have dropped so low under Bush the dot com bubble would not have been so bad if not for Bush's polices and if he had prevented 9-11 Bush tried to get inflation as high as he could to offset his massive deficit spending
The dot com boom was part of Clinton's so called success-- Bush didn't cause it. It got way out of hand prior to Bush taking office. The interest rates were the sole product of Greenspan-- he left them too low too long. Oh, yea, don't forget that Clinton had the chance to take Bin Laden out but chose not to-- maybe he had other things on his mind in the oval office.
Clinton's term ended in 1-2001.Bush got Full presidential briefings starting in 11-2000 I'd give bush 3-4 months of slack after taking office,after getting full presidential briefings in Nov thats 6 months for him to fully transition into office.Anything after that is all Bush
Nope ...never heard it before. I was a Rayguns era Marine. Maybe they banned the term. However I did grow up in Austin. That was two years after I joined. Great youtube. Thx.
Its funny how Bush was such a bad president that many feel the need to blame it on 2 presidents.I understand though,its kind of hard to believe 1 guy could have fucked things up so badly
But hey, Condi Rice said that they could have "never imagined that terrorists would use Airplanes as weapons", just like Michael Brown of FEMA said " we could have never imagined that those levies would fail" . . . just as Dick Cheney remarked about the current financial crisis . . . "nobody anywhere was smart enough to figure it out." Just pathetic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Ladin_Determined_To_Strike_in_US Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US was the President's Daily Brief given to U.S. President George W. Bush on August 6, 2001. The President's Daily Brief (PDB) is a brief of important classified information on national security collected by various U.S. intelligence agencies given to the president and a select group of senior officials. The brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda over a month before the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1] Some arguments have focused on clear warnings in this letter, specifically that: the title was Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US a large attack was planned the attack would be on United States soil target cities of attacks included New York City and Washington, D.C. the World Trade Center bombing was explicitly mentioned hijacked plane missions were anticipated people living in, or traveling to, the United States were involved recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York was witnessed.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/23/AR2006012301711.html White House Got Early Warning on Katrina In the 48 hours before Hurricane Katrina hit, the White House received detailed warnings about the storm's likely impact, including eerily prescient predictions of breached levees, massive flooding, and major losses of life and property, documents show. A 41-page assessment by the Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC), was delivered by e-mail to the White House's "situation room," the nerve center where crises are handled, at 1:47 a.m. on Aug. 29, the day the storm hit, according to an e-mail cover sheet accompanying the document. The NISAC paper warned that a storm of Katrina's size would "likely lead to severe flooding and/or levee breaching" and specifically noted the potential for levee failures along Lake Pontchartrain. It predicted economic losses in the tens of billions of dollars, including damage to public utilities and industry that would take years to fully repair. Initial response and rescue operations would be hampered by disruption of telecommunications networks and the loss of power to fire, police and emergency workers, it said. In a second document, also obtained by The Washington Post, a computer slide presentation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, prepared for a 9 a.m. meeting on Aug. 27, two days before Katrina made landfall, compared Katrina's likely impact to that of "Hurricane Pam," a fictional Category 3 storm used in a series of FEMA disaster-preparedness exercises simulating the effects of a major hurricane striking New Orleans. But Katrina, the report warned, could be worse. The hurricane's Category 4 storm surge "could greatly overtop levees and protective systems" and destroy nearly 90 percent of city structures, the FEMA report said. It further predicted "incredible search and rescue needs (60,000-plus)" and the displacement of more than a million residents. The NISAC analysis accurately predicted the collapse of floodwalls along New Orleans's Lake Pontchartrain shoreline, an event that the report described as "the greatest concern." The breach of two canal floodwalls near the lake was the key failure that left much of central New Orleans underwater and accounted for the bulk of Louisiana's 1,100 Katrina-related deaths. The documents shed new light on the extent on the administration's foreknowledge about Katrina's potential for unleashing epic destruction on New Orleans and other Gulf Coast cities and towns. President Bush, in a televised interview three days after Katrina hit, suggested that the scale of the flooding in New Orleans was unexpected. "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees. They did anticipate a serious storm," Bush said in a Sept. 1 interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
