Now isn't that quite the little oxymoron?
Hey Jebby. Trumpet is right about that, particularly in light of the August 6 PDB that KinaSleazy blew off and your brother was too stupid to understand.
Or not. Ya know what I'm sayin'?
Then there was that anthrax thing.
And those two sniper guys.
The economic crash.
Setting the entire Middle East on fire.
For openers.
So, no. He most certainly did NOT keep us safe.

(82,849 posts)It would be instructive to ask Jeb! just who "us" refers to. Clearly it's not the citizens who worked in the World Trade Center or the Pentagon. Jeb! must be talking about someone else when he says "us." But who?

On another topic, I was watching when Jeb said the bit about he kept us safe. I absolutely could not believe it that he received applause for that line. Dipsh@$ts.

(17,199 posts)someone needs to remind Jeb about that OTHER time (besides 9/11) that his brother kept Americans safe ...

(63,221 posts)9/11 altogether. It's like he's thinking "Oh, well we didn't have a major terrorist attack on our soil AFTER 9/11, that's what I mean". No, you idiot. 9/11 happened on his watch. He did not keep us safe.

(55,745 posts)Maybe because he was warned bin Laden planned to hijack a jet while at the Genoa G-8 summit in July 2001.
So the pretzeldent avoided the hotel and slept aboard a missile destroyer in the harbor. Here's the story from July 2001:
Why would Osama bin Laden want to kill Dubya, his former business partner?
By James Hatfield
Editor's note: In light of last week's horrific events and the Bush administration's reaction to them, we are reprising the following from the last column Jim Hatfield wrote for Online Journal prior to his tragic death on July 18:
July 3, 2001There may be fireworks in Genoa, Italy, this month, too.
A plot by Saudi master terrorist, Osama bin Laden, to assassinate Dubya during the July 20 economic summit of world leaders, was uncovered after dozens of suspected Islamic militants linked to bin Laden's international terror network were arrested in Frankfurt, Germany, and Milan, Italy, in April.
German intelligence services have stated that bin Laden is covertly financing neo-Nazi skinhead groups throughout Europe to launch another terrorist attack at a high-profile American targethis first since the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen last October.
According to counter-terrorism experts quoted in Germany's largest newspaper, the attack on Dubya might be a James Bond-like aerial strike in the form of remote-controlled airplanes packed with plastic explosives.
Why would Osama bi Laden want to kill, Dubya, his former business partner?
