Surely, it is getting tiresome to the see the mantra repeated that George W. Bush kept us safe from terrorists after 9/11. While it is not surprising to see such remakrs from pro-Taliban publications such as the Wall Street Journal (editorially praising the rise of the Taliban back in 1995), loyal Americans must be apalled.
The simple fact is that George W. Bush surrendered to Osama bin Laden's key demand: withdrawal of US troops from Saudia Arabia. This was, I believe, the first American surrender to a foreign military diktat since Correigdor.
In May 2003, the man who so bravely served in the Texas Air National Guard (while cowards like John Kerry hid in the jungles of Vietnam) aceeded to the key demand of the man responsible for killing thousands of Americans.
Surrender thy name is George W. Bush
This was not the first act of cowardice and appeasment by the favorite of such obese, impotent draft dodgers as Rush Limbaugh. The AWOL drunk in October 2001 used our tax dollars and planes to airlift hundreds (if not thousands) of terrorists out of harms way. The "Airlift of Evil" or the "Al Qaeda Dunkirk" is rarely mentioned by the likes of Man Coulter. However, loyal Americans who consider Max Cleland a greater war hero than a serial draft dodger such as Dick Cheney should be horrified at this treachery.
In the 1980s Ronald Wilson Reagan sent Ollie North to grovel before the Iranians and beg for the release of American hostages.
In this decade, George W. Bush groveled before the killer of Americans so he could strut aboard an aircraft carrier and give a woody to traitors like G. Gordon Liddy.
The surrender at Corregidor was avenged in a few short years. Alas, that was an America of different age where the so-called leading financial publication didn't editorially support America's enemies.
In history we learned about great Americans who bravely faced the enemy,
"Don't Give Up the Ship"
"I have not yet begun to fight"
"Nuts"
Now our politcal class honors a 'man' who didn't get all of us killed by surrendering to terrorists.
