Jeb Bush thinks his brother "kept us safe"... but we won't let Jeb rewrite history. Ignoring warnings of terrorists plots by Osama bin Laden, a tragically inept response to Hurricane Katrina, plunging our economy into recession and leading us into a unnecessary war that took the lives of over 4,000 US men and women - just a few examples of how "safe" Jeb's brother kept us.

To be fair, Jeb has no chance to make the nomination for the GOP. His brother poisoned the Bush name for generations, we won't be seeing a Bush in the white house any time soon.

George W. Bush didn't keep us terribly safe. His successor in President Obama hasn't, either. Obama's successor in 2016, rather Democrat or Republican, likely won't keep us very safe either.

For whatever reason, most of these folks running on both sides want to keep following the same failed policies of the last 60+ years that make us less and less safe every year.

HA!

But seriously, either of the two women running would make a better president than Bush.

Hillary would actually probably be about equal with Bush.

I think she would be a tad bit better. Jeb was pretty good for Florida, I will admit, but he has a lot of issues, especially when it comes to Women.

GWB is secretly Saruman.

Congressional Record: September 26, 2002 (Senate)

HOMELAND SECURITY

In September 1998, the Intelligence Community obtained information that Usama Bin Laden's next operation could involve flying an aircraft loaded with explosives into a U.S. airport and detonating it; this information was provided to senior U.S. Government officials in late 1998.

In the fall of 1998, the Intelligence Community received additional information concerning a Bin-Laden plot involving aircraft in the New York and Washington, DC, areas;

In November 1998, the Intelligence Community learned that a Bin Laden was attempting to recruit a group of five to seven young men from the United States to strike U.S. domestic targets.

In the spring of 1999, the Intelligence Community learned about a planned Bin Laden attack on a U.S. Government facility in Washington, DC.

Additionally, in 1999, the threat of an explosive-laden aircraft being used in a suicide attack against the Pentagon, CIA headquarters, or the White House, was noted in a Library of Congress report to the National Intelligence Council.

In late 1999, the Intelligence Community learned of Bin Laden's possible plans to attack targets in Washington, DC, and New York City during the New Year's Millennium celebrations.

On December 14, 1999, an individual named Ahmed Ressam was arrested as he attempted to enter the United States from Canada with detonator materials in his car. Ressam's intended target was Los Angeles International Airport. Ressam, who has links to Usama Bin Laden's terrorist network, has not been formally sentenced yet.

In March 2000, the Intelligence Community obtained information regarding the types of targets that operatives in Bin Laden's network might strike. The Statue of Liberty was specifically mentioned, as were skyscrapers, ports, and airports, and nuclear power plants;

1998, isn't that 2 years before Clinton left office? Atta and his pals trained in the United States right under Clinton's nose in early 2000. Just sayin.

I've heard Jeb making these comments increasingly now.

Jeb trying to ride on his brothers coattails is a sign of desperation IMO, and Jeb has every reason to be desperate.

I still think the drooling morons that are the GOP voting base will throw their support to him once they realize that... Trump?
