Why does Bush brag about 9/11?
The more I hear Bush talking about 9/11 every time he appears anywhere, the more absurd it sounds. What does he have to brag about? That his administration was asleep at the switch, ignoring all the warnings? That he took his eye off the terrorism ball for several months? That he fired the guy in charge of identifying and neutralizing terrorists?

This is like FDR bragging about Pearl Harbor, or the Trojans bragging about the Greeks' Trojan Horse.

Help me understand: Is this a sign of desperation? Or stupidity? Arrogance? Evil genius? Something else?

Am I nuts, or do others agree with me that this is really surreal?

2. because he got away with it
and instead of facing a gurney for letting 3000 americans die to save his residency, he's actually got 45million voters buying into the fact that he's god's man on earth.

3. You arent the one that is nuts
It's the Chimpster and all his supporters.

I'm baffled as to how ANYONE could think this fool is the one to keep America safe. Yet at least 40% do.

Hello?

4. You see..
That's what I've been saying for the past three years. The man struts around like 9/11 happening is the greatest thing he's accomplished. It's sickening, and I wish more people would call him on this bullshit.

6. I'd wager..
..he'd list 9/11 as one of his "accomplishments".

Reporter: "Mr. Bush, what did you accomplish during your term?"
Bush <smirking>: "Well, you know, this great country suffered an attack from terrorists.."

7. "TRIFECTA"
I vote "something else."

And yes, Bush is past surreal. And unfortunately, we have to share his fascist unreality.

8. Because the only remotely redeeming thing he's done...
in four years is stand on pile of rubble. He was set up for success like no President we've had since WW-II and he BLEEEEEEEEEWWW IT!!

I guess he figures he can put things on rewind and start over. TOO LATE!
