Intro: "President Bush sat down with USA Today to discuss the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and his role in shaping US 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."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

This is SO republican. They destroy the country & economy, refuse to accept any responsibility & then blame Democrats for what they did. But when DEMS are successful, they rush to claim credit, though they had nothing to do with it!
He ferreted his family out of the country the day after the 9/11/2001 attacks in the ONLY plane allowed to fly for days after the "attack."
Suspicious...you bet. As someone else has already said, I can't believe these guys (Bush and Cheney) have the cajones to show their faces AT ALL to the American people, suffering from his choices after this attack, let alone to take credit for something he had nothing to do with.
And guess what? WE let him do it, even vilified those of us who protested, saying we were "unpatriotic" back then.
And the American people elected him in 2004 when we should have ARRESTED him and all his cronies!
Pfft! Today is a sad day, remembering, but he's the saddest sack of a human to ever walk this earth. Murderer. Hate-monger. Liar. Greedy Bum. And you know the rest.

@lin96 ~ If only the international community, the international court (The Hague), would have the guts to get these guys, to bring them up on war crimes, crimes against humanity and the world, I would rest easier. Because frankly, they're still out there, and they're out in force, pushing the Rick Perry's and other scum Repub-religious-baggers to do their bidding. And they've ramped it up big time!
We haven't seen anything yet, and what we have seen, have endured is beyond our wildest imaginations.
Over 1,200 people were arrested early this month for protesting via civil disobedience outside the White House. The events of 9/11 have spawned a police state in America, and the roughest road is ahead.

The nation would never have agreed to attack Iraq, sinse we would have accomplisced what we went to Afghanistan for.
I also remember that Rumsfeld said that there was nothing of cosequence to bomb in Afghanistan. (Iraq was a much juicier target)
The thinking among my friends at the time was that Bush was afraid that if Bin Laden was caught and talked, the truth would come out-- that Bin Laden had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, that they were the work of the far right-wing that was implanted in the U.S. government.

You'd think he'd be too embarrassed to poke his head out the front door....but not BUSH! Or Cheney!
bin laden wasn't one of them.
I will give bush credit, however, for seeing to it that bin laden's entire family were allowed a military escort as they escaped the U.S. on Sep 12, just to make sure they wouldn't have to face any questioning.
Remember Sep. 12, anyone? That was a BIGGER deal than Sep. 11. Sep. 11 was when a few buildings were attacked by foreign terrorists. Sep. 12 was when our entire country was put on lockdown by domestic terrorists in the White House.
NONE of us were allowed to fly on Sep. 12 - UNLESS we were members of the bin laden family.
So, thanks bush jr., for doing your part to ease the pressures of overpopulation, by killing so many people.
BUT, bin laden wasn't one of them.
Funny thing is morons out there still forget how many people from around the world, how many religions were part of the Victims that died. Muslims died also..why would they want to prove they could kill them again? this NY Alert crap is still the GOP and Corporate threats under Dominance and Submission Mentality
I think Tommy Franks is ALSO criminally responseble for the destruction of Bagdad, and so is Rumsfeld.
For there were not enough soldiers to protect vital infrastructure.
I hold him and Rumsfeld resposible for the destruction and theft from the important museum of antiquity. That is inmportant to the WORLD, having items from "the cradle of civilization".
I KNOW Rumsfeld wanted a small force, but........Tommy Frank was the BLEEPING GENERAL. He was a coward if he could not tell Rumsfeld, that he needed to have forces large enough to protect the city and it's citizens.
Let's not forget: WE WERE PRESUMABLY LIBERATING IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!S OME LIBERATION
Presidency actually came up with a detailed plan and executed it to "perfection." Oh Happy Day. (But let's keep Obama in the White House lest we get one of those Republicans in his place; we know how bad those guys are.)
TERROR means: NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU ARE SORRY
We will be digging ourselves out for years in the mess they put us in.
Of course! Just look at all the peace our democracy is yielding.
After reading and listening to some of Bush's comments I think someone ought to warn his security team that his heart may simply stop pumping to avoid having to send blood to a brain that's never been used.
That being said...I EFFIN' HATE THAT SONOFABITCH! Whew...I feel better now.
For he did NOT want to pay attention to Bin Laden, although the Clinton adm. told him how dangerous OBL was, and that they needed to go after him. The Bush adm. also knew that there were plans to fly planes into buildings.
They had been informed of it.
Still at the 9-11 hearings Rice said that: "Nobody could imagine that planes would be flown into buildings." Lies, lies. And ALL AUGUST when Tenet said, that they all "had their hair on fire"
because they realized, that something terrible wAS going to happen. Where was Bush????playing on his ranch.
When a cia agent came to inform him that OBL was determined to attack inside USA,
Bush's answer was "Ok you have covered your ass, you can go now."
ALWAYS THE STUPID FLIPPANT COWBOY.
HE MOST DEFINITELY BEARS RESPONSIBILITY.

"Recognizing it is the first step toward correcting it."
We've been in that "first step" stage since we noticed Little Bush and Company stealing the 2000 election. When, if EVER, will we finish that "correction?"
It is now June of 1776,dear friends.
Meanwhile, Bush trashes the economy, bails out the banks with TARP, and Obama is responsible for the recession and is a huge spender.
Give me a second, I'm sure I can get my mind around that...
US is BIG looser in this game - AL QAEDA decentralized - with help of NATO is spreading to Africa (see Algeria).
Militarism BANKRUPTED USA.
I have little to add but agreement to what has been posted already, except to remind y'all that some of the imbeciles who voted for the li'l phony frat-fink and his Munster-reject V.P. will probably go along with this, no doubt encouraged by FOX, Bechh and Limp-baugh's shrinking but still far-too-numerous gang of ditto-heads.
This sort of thing is irritating to be sure but we must press on with what currently ails the country (thanks to the inept and paranoid rush to war with the resultant overblown military/security expenditures and brokering for the wealthy, cronyism by he-of-the-dyslexic-tongue and his hovering at the trough cabal of evil-doers).
I know that they should all be doing hard time in Gitmo or Abu Grahib but we need to concentrate on getting the current President to actually do his job on behalf of the rest of us instead of taking over as the C.E.O. for the brokerage of the wealthy.
And thanks to "Billy Bob" for reminding us all about the rest of the population (including the private planes of the wealthy) being grounded whilst the Bin-Laden clan were especially "airlifted" from Bluegrass field in Lexington, KY.
Neh, people like him are immune to criticism in their sociopathic and hubristic ego-states. I mean he struts around at PGA golf tournaments and Baseball games, still the frat-brat that he always was and seemingly always will be. The biggest post-presidential joke on the public to date is the utterly oxymoronic "George W. Bush Library" (even worse than the Reagan one) as a towering monument of folly to the worst president of my life at least. It's almost as bad as an imaginary "Dick Cheney Center for Humanitarianism ", what?
You forgot one word: congressional.
It should read:
THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL, CONGRESSIONAL COMPLEX.
Sinse the people in congress reap tons of money from supporting the military industrial part of the complex.
What a terrible combination: simultaneously stupid and crazy. Throw in spoiled and drunk and it becomes a grand slam for disaster.
Why are we not focusing also on these GOP unpatriots who have positioned themselves to continue the damage Rumsfied, Bush, Cheney and the rest of the Tea Party started?
