If Bush & Cheney Kept Us Safe….
After listening to my umpteenth right-wing Bush/Cheney supporter espouse how safe that administration kept us since 9/11, I have to ask: Why did 9/11, which occurred nine months into their administration happen in the first place? Why is it these guys think Bush/Cheney and their cohorts deserve a gimme of such magnitude?
The fact remains Bush was asleep at the wheel, going on various vacations of which he was setting records, and who knows what Cheney was doing (if you believe the conspiracy theorists).
In effect B/C made us vulnerable in more ways that one. The fact that the US was not attacked physically one more time is faint praise in light of the economic ripple effects of 9/11, not to mention (and they won’t) their decision to expend our blood and treasure in Iraq, which further damaged our country’s people, and decimated our economy and families.
Shame on them and good riddance.
