Is it all the Bush's fault for our terrorism problems?

Question

George H.W Bush and Reagan gave arms, training, weapons to Bin Laden in the 80's. Despite C.I.A agents who said that Bin Laden couldn't be trusted.

Then Bush and Reagan gave WMD's to Saddam. Saddam runs out of WMD's but the blood is still on Bush's hand.

Then Reagan and Bush wussed out and give in to Iran and gave them weapons.

Then Bin Laden declared war on America in 1991, Bush Sr did nothing.
Now remember this is all before Clinton so as of right now the Clinton's fault excuse is null and void.

Then the Bush family goes into business with the Bin Ladens.

Then George W. Bush ignores the C.I.A and military when both George Tenant and Richard Clarke tell Bush to be aware of Bin Laden, and if possible to recommend a strike against him now. Then ignores the Presidential Daily Brief which says "Bin Laden Determined to Strike U.S.

Bush try's handing our ports over to country's linked to terror

With all this as fact, did the Bush's help our terrorist enemy's?

Answer 1

That's it - the Bush family business. They did it for the money.

Answer 2

I don't know where you got your facts, but they're mostly wrong. The US didn't give WMD to Saddam. Prior to the Iranian Hostage situation in 1980 the US sold Iran some weapons, but that was before Regan or Bush. Bin Laden was in exile 1991 to 1996 and didn't declare war on anyone.

Answer 3

Most of your facts are simply not relevant to the matter. Lots of people do business with the bin Laden clan, who are (with an obvious exception) decent people. The ports deal was to be with an Arab government that has been particularly helpful in the war on the terrorists. Et cetera, and so on.

Answer 4

to make a long story very short -- no neither president bush senior or junior made it possible --to "help" the terrorist. politics, economics, war acts, terrorist acts -- can not be explained...by a few...excerpts out of context here and there. they are complex phenomenon...and one decision leads to another decision...and it goes on and on. the terrorist menace is not a new invention. it has existed all through the ages. one way to combat it..is to
re-educate and not brain-wash the people that are subjected to it. of course raising the standard of living helps..but there are other measures that countries and the international community have to grasp...to deal with the root causes. the new terrorist threat is religion based ideaology...it is a long battle until the silent majority speaks up. voila.

Answer 5

You must live in California or New York. Only a looney liberal like yourself would reside there.

Educate yourself with FACTS before coming on here. And not relying on the looneys at the dailykos.

1st link takes care of your idiot comments about Bush 41 & 43 and well as Reagan.
2nd link at the bottom refers to your "love" of Bubba Clinton. It's at the bottom of the link.

Answer 6

Carter let the hostages stay for 444 days Clinton didn't take Ben Laden
Carter gave nuclear reactors to N. Korea Clinton gave billions to N. Korea
If you can read check it out
Since Clinton did not take Ben Laden after the 93 world trade center attack does that prove he is in league with Clinton and the Demo's
