Bannon attacks George W. Bush

[Applewood]

Not replying to anyone in particular but Bush WAS a good man as was his father.

Daddy Bush was a brave pilot, a good baseball player and a loving husband and father.  He never did anything to tarnish the Bush name.

GWB was a good and faithful husband and father and dog owner.

There was a story about GWB when his father was President.  George was working in the White House and a female aide kept coming on to him.  He finally instructed the SS not to let her in his office anymore because "I am a married man."  That's the way to avoid temption.

George W. Bush has class...which is more than I can say for his 2 successors.  Or for Bannon.

As far as I'm concerned, GWB was compromised during his 2nd term in office.  It all went downhill from there and he became a "changed man" in my eyes.   He let us down exactly like his dad let us down ("Read my lips: no new taxes").   He allowed the radical left to damage Americans just like his son allowed them to do in his 2nd term (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mortgage loan meltdown).  Cozying up to the Clintons, of all people.... then the Obamas.... and now this.   

From my perspective..... you're either against the radical left (ALL of the Democrats, at this point)...
or you're with them.  So this apparent siding with the Democrat left .... against Trump.... seems to have completed the taint of the Bush family ... at least to me.

I repeat.  Screw em.

No doubt W is a nice guy. However he had his chance and we know where it led us.

I like the way things are beginning to trend now and I really resent his attempt to drag us back to where he and his kind have it all their way. Their way leads to our ruin and if W persists he'll deserve every ounce of the flaying he'll get.

[dfwgator]

By not fighting back, Bush gave the Left legitimacy they didn't deserve,   and now it takes a guy like Trump to finally put them in their place.

[Bigun]

W is th e first person to occupy the Whitehouse that I personally know.  To say that he sorely disappointed me grossly understates the matter.  And I don't think he can blame this stupid attack on the president on bad advice from his advisors.

Of course GW is a 'nice guy'. That's the problem. The Bush family can't see evil, even when it slaps them in the face.

A 12 year old Christian Boy Scout is also a 'nice guy', but I would want him running a war. I wouldn't make him a general. In war, the last thing a soldier wants for a leader is a 'nice guy'. A soldier wants Patton. A soldier wants McArthur. A soldier does not want some peacenik 'religion of peace' idiot, telling them to 'make friends' with the enemy. That is what has caused a war that was supposed to be a victory, to turn into a 30 year long nightmare. We are not there to be their friends. We are not there to rebuild their country. We are there to defeat them in battle and take their territory. That is what war is.

Yes, I want to have a war...but I don't want to hurt anybody...
This weirdo Leftist bullshit does not work, as we can clearly see. Either we are there to 'win', or we are just wasting our time.

The problem with the Bush family is that they see the world through rose colored glasses. That defines their attitude toward Obama. "Oh, he means good..." Obama, on the other hand, sees the evil very clearly, and he likes it. Obama knew exactly what he was doing. And he knew he had the 'immunity' card, and that he would never be criticized by people like Bush.

Nobody is ever going to argue that the Bush family is 'nice'. But it is their pathological 'niceness' that makes them dangerous for America.

As a Conservative, I see the damage he AND his father have both done to this nation.  It remains to be seen whether they had ill intentions via that New World Order globalism..... or if they are/were just wusses.   Doesn't even matter at this point.  The damage is done.   Bush needs to do what he did the entire time he was in office and the entire time Obama was in office.  STFU and go fishin.   Now is not the time to "jump into the fray".  It is waaaay too damned late.

@Bigun

A soldier wants Patton.

"Get them up. Get them running and shoot them in the back."

Because if you don't, you'll give them time to regroup, dig back in, and it'll cost at least 4 times as many of your men's lives as if you didn't.

W.'s crowd didn't want to upset the Saudi Royals.

We've got more oil than we know what to do with just off every coast. Screw the Saudis.

What we got, for over 5,000 American GI casualties in this endless POLICE ACTION instead of a war, is a safer bottom line for the oil companies who don't have to invest in the new domestic infrastructure to drill it up off our coasts.

As for Bush II being a 'nice man' I wouldn't want to be the guy selling that garbage door to door to the families of all those service men who've been killed, crippled and maimed in this mess.

Bush II had 8 years to assess and fix our Intel Services and keep the 9/11 hijackers OUT of America.

We have not had another hijacking of airliners to fly them into Trade Center size buildings since.

If it can be done today, post Bush II, Why couldn't that 'nice man' have gotten off his AZZ and got it done Before 9/11?


Damn straight I want a George Patton running the show.

“There has not been a more destructive presidency than George Bush’s,” Bannon said

Not Obama's?

This is getting a bit ridiculous.

I would go along with maybe more destructive GOP presidency, but Obama's was far worse in so many ways.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

How about Al Gore, the climate millionaire or Swift Boat Traitor John Kerry, both of whom he defeated, thank God.

What do you mean?  Neither one became president.

Very fine posts, civil discussion. I may not always agree but a good perspective.
