TAPPER: So, what are you objecting to about Mr. Trump's remarks about 9/11 and your brother?
BUSH: Look, my brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do.
He united the country. He organized our country, and he kept us safe. And there's no denying that. The great majority of Americans believe that.
And I don't know why he keeps bringing this up. It's -- it doesn't show that he's a serious person as it relates to being commander in chief and being the architect of a foreign policy.
Across the spectrum of foreign policy, Mr. Trump talks about things that -- as though he's still on "The Apprentice." I mean, literally, talking about Syria, saying ISIS should take out Assad, then Russia should take out ISIS, as though it was some kind of board game, and not a serious approach, is just -- this is just another example of the lack of seriousness....
I don't appreciate 9-11 and "The Apprentice" in the same thought process. It is called politics. 9-11 is not politics. It is facts and deaths and a country wrongly at war in Iraq. It definitely is not politics.
The FACTS have been resolved nearly immediately after the Trade Towers fell, the Pentagon burned and a huge jet crashed in Pennsylvania.
It is called negligence, incompetency; but; more than that it was completely ignored as Cheney stated, to Senator Feinstein, "We won't be able to get to that for another six months."
"...my brother responded to a crisis..."
No he didn't. The crisis started long before September 11, 2001. He ignored it. He allowed it to happen.
Face paint for Halloween needs to be recalled because of heavy metals that are dangerous, especially to young children. Do you recall the paint before or after Halloween?
George
Walker Bush NEVER responded to a crisis. At least get that much right.
Standing on a pile of rubble is not a crisis, it is what happened when the crisis was ignored.
"Bin Laden Determined to Strike US" (click here)
"...patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
The FBI is conducting approximately 70 full field investigations throughout the US that it considers Bin Laden-related. CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our Embassy in the UAE in May saying that a group of Bin Laden supporters was in the US planning attacks with explosives."
It looks to me as though the CIA and FBI were talking to each other.
Among those investigations was Zacarias Moussaoui the 20th suicide jet passenger. What else did anyone need to know? A hand written memo from Osama?
No, Mr. Bush, your brother did not respond to a crisis. He allowed it to happen.
