Bush Republicanism at its finest...take credit for something you really had nothing to do with (how many domestic attacks had we had from foreign terrorists BEFORE 9/11?) and deny that you had anything to do with a disaster you allowed to happen.

Couple half a dozen. Only ones that can really be thrown off the top of my head was the torching of the white house by the Brits and the World Trade Center Bombing.
Ironbite-that's it.

I'd like to point out that I do not support or endorse the ad next to the YouTube I posted.
And considering that the Brits torching the White House was during a war, I wouldn't count it as terrorism. That's me, though...I know there are some who say that any form of politically-motivated violence is terrorism.

I don't think the White House one counts as terrorism, at least not in the same sense as the WTC attacks (both of them). |

Shrub and his cronies have figured out that History is always more fun if you make it up yourself.
Though normally most are smart enough to know they have to let people forget history before you rewrite it.

Oh god, 1:14 PISSES me off so badly. Listen, he says, "After 9/11 How could we take the risk that saddam might strike again?" WHAT THE FUCK. How many times do these people need to be told that's a full out lie that saddam had any involvement in 9/11? It was Osama Bin fucking Laden, who guess what? Bush never caught. He needed Iraq as a diversion obviously. Honestly, these people really have no sense of reality. |

That's me, though...I know there are some who say that any form of politically-motivated violence is terrorism. That is the real definition you know. Before the faaaaaar right redefined it to mean any kind of dissent or violent action from people they didn't like. Technically 9/11 was a violent crime, it was not a politically motivated act , the perps never took responsibilty, made any claims, had a manifesto nor a list of demands. |

Well, there was our buddy up here in michigan, Timmy Mcveigh, and the first trade center bombing prior to 9/11
They'll deny anything that black eyes them and and find any scapegoat to push it off on anyone but them. i'm sure if you kept it going long enough they could push it off on the Aztecs

Another Bush apologist suggested on Hardball the other day that Saddam Hussein was behind the Oklahoma City bombings and Timothy McVeigh and he was 100% serious too.
It's just so stupid I have no words to describe it. US politicians, esp the Republicans, are totally retarded.

History revisionism...when will the apologists learn that historical revisionism won't work now that the truth is out that Saddam had nothing to do with any terrorist attack on the US? I mean, seriously, why are they wanting to lie? Is it to shirk responsibility? Most likely, Bush was never much on the idea that he is responsible for his actions.

Well, they've conned a lot of people into believing it. People still believe Saddam was behind 9-11. People still believe we found WMDs in Iraq. People still believe Bush kept us safe (I guess 9-11 doesn't count). People still believe that we "won" in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. My "favorite" right now is the whole "Obama's recession" thing. You know, because of the whole four year cycle, Bush inherited his recession from Clinton. But wait! This recession is Obama's fault, even though it started before he took office! |

"And I am glad that we no longer have an administration that uses that kind of argument." ;D Also I thought they only accused Saddam of the WTC attack before the Iraq war. And they stopped using WMD's as an excuse after they coulnd't find any. Maybe he ran out of excuses so he just went back to the beginning of the list...  |
