Bush Credits ‘The Work That Was Done’ During ‘My Presidency’ For Osama Bin Laden’s Death

[Submariner]

President Bush sat down with USA Today to discuss the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and his role in shaping U.S. policy in their aftermath. During the interview, Bush thought he’d take the opportunity to pat himself on the back for Osama bin Laden’s death:

Bush said the events that led to the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in May began during his administration.

“The work that was done by intelligence communities during my presidency was part of putting together the puzzle that enabled us to see the full picture of how bin Laden was communicating and eventually where he was hiding,” he said. “It began the day after 9/11.”

1. Hey George:

Fuck Off.

Yours truly,

MH1

(and by George I only mean W, in case anyone might take that the wrong way.)

2. hahahahahahahahahaha...... what a delusional ass.

His administration used OBL to ratchet up the fear. They did't want him killed. What a joke.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. Bush said he wasn't worried about BinLadin

of course his father was an oil buddy

[tularetom]

3. "He he he...We're not looking for him, I really don't know where he is, he he he..."

I guess he now claims that was just a diversionary tactic he used to throw Bin Laden off.

Little pissant.

4. He is correct. His MisAdministrations FAILINGS warmongering and greed directly lead to the events

that after 10 LONG years (after the terror bogeyman was no longer useful) lead to his death.
It is a fact that had not President Cheney ignored all the warnings and stopped the 9/11 attacks OBL would probably be alive today.

5. LOL What a pathetic loser.

6. Really?

So you didn't divert the bulk of our resources to a whole different Country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and Al Qaeda? So you didn't close the CIA division tasked with finding Bin laden several years ago?

Bush never wanted to get Bin Laden, it would have taken away the boogie man he needed to continue to invade countries.

What a total joke and a total failure!!!

PS. Obama hasn't thrilled me, but the one thing I don't miss is the fake terrorist threats Bush terrified us with every time it was politically beneficial for him.

7. If it was your work, why didn't YOU kill him?

[pnorman]

8. That's like Herbert Hoover taking partial credit for

winning WW2!

[Turbineguy]

9. Sure George

and you were the best president there ever was.

[Honeycombe8]

10. Yeah, Cheney talked about that, too. Good luck with that line, Bushwackos! No one will believe it.

[madamesilverspurs]

11. Uh huh.

Little Lord Pissypants still trying to pass himself off as Superman.



As if.

[BeFree]

12. “It began the day after 9/11.”

That is the killer quote.

He didn't do squat on or before 9/11, he got started on 9/12.

No wait, he did squat on the CIA who warned him on August 6, 2001.
Fucking squatter.

13. Kick for the evening crowd

[Nedsdag]

14. He's kidding, right?

No, really. He is kidding, am I right?
