Bush kept us safe for 8 years. The media lies, but in the end when the dust settles, history won't lie.

    Nice concept, but, history is viewed in different ways depending on which side one is on.

    Take the American Revolution. To the British, it was a rebellion, not a war for freedom and the American Civil War, to the South, the North was in the wrong. History, when written by opposing sides will always vary when viewed by the side writing it.

    During the Indian wars of our western frontier. When the Indians won, it was called a massacre, but if the army won, it was a victory. For instance, the Battle at the Little Big Horn (Battle of the tall grass, to the Souix), was called a massacre by the army and American history. But to the Souix, was a victory but they still called it bad medicine.

    Yes, to the future generations, history will be written to make whatever happens look as the leaders of those generations want them to appear. There is more truth in folk lore than in the books we study in school and the reports the government puts out!

    Yes, history will not lie. Eight long years elapsed between the attacks on the World Trade Center; al-Qaeda moves slowly. The fact there were no attacks on U.S. soil proves nothing. History will also show that Bush failed to protect our borders, allowed Afghanistan to fall back into the hands of the Taliban, did not "smoke out" bin Laden, squandered the world's good will after 9/11, and generated an entire generation of terrorists with his unprovoked attack on Iraq.

    Oh, I almost forgot. Bush was warned in August 2001 of bin Laden's intentions and failed to prepare. At least the brush got cleared.

    It doesn't as long as the correct facts are presented - so far WMD has turned into a trillion dollar & over 4000 American lives, not even counting Iraq lives - Bush lie. Iraq War, One of the finest terrorists training and recruiting areas possible.

    at the beginning, are those lies or education which on the time weren't extensively disseminated. as an occasion, the gold concern became into theory to exist interior the Southwest before 1848. whether, till the invention of gold at Sutter's Mill, the "gold rush" did no longer ensue. Why, because of fact it became into in mines and so on. the invention at Sutter Mill became into panning for gold. it truly is distinctive than mining. no you may say gold became into discovered in 1848 yet truly "person-friendly gold" became into discovered in 1848. The oil in Texas became into discovered early on yet no person knew what it became into. It many places in Texas it bubbled as much as the exterior yet initially they did no longer be responsive to what to make of it. They did be responsive to it burned. The products you declare are lies are actually not probable lies yet is education which the folk making te discovery did no longer be responsive to what it became into. i'm particular the Indians discovered oil in Texas or copper in Arizona yet they did no longer be responsive to what it became into. Later somebody found out what they have been finding at and the push became into on. additionally, as others have talked approximately, regrettably, while situations exchange so does history. Revisionists attempt to reinterpret what handed off interior the previous. sometimes it truly is for the purpose of being politically superb different time to make heroes out of extremely some figures. lots of the flaws taught at present are actually not an identical concern that became into taught 40 years in the past. no longer because of fact they have discovered new issues yet because of fact that is no longer ordinary to coach a number of those issues. It does no longer advise they are telling lies that is in simple terms they have revised history to in high-quality condition the present climate. If it truly is real, then that could be a lie that the Mexican and Spaniards discovered gold while in fact i'm prepared to guess that the Indians knew of the gold yet did no longer regard it as a powerful metallic. Does that advise in case you say the Mexicans discovered gold you're mendacity. of direction no longer. be careful what you state is a lie because of fact it may't be.

    Yes, you are right

    History won't lie because it was Bush that was President on 9/11.

    So, 9/11 is the ultimate mulligan?

    How safe did he keep the 4,000 soldiers who died in Iraq?
