PERRspectives: George W. Bush's Magic Calendar Returns

PERRspectives: George W. Bush's Magic Calendar Returns
"In the run-up to today's celebration at the George W. Bush Presidential Library, America's 43rd President declared that "history will ultimately judge" his tenure in the White House. And that is precisely the problem for the custodians of Bush's legacy. After all, the slaughter of 3,000 people on 9/11, the catastrophic and unnecessary war in Iraq, illicit domestic surveillance and illegal detainee torture, the worst eight-year economic performance since Herbert Hoover, a near-doubling of the national debt (thanks in large part to tax cuts that will continue to drain the U.S. Treasury for years to come), the implosion of Wall Street and the disastrously bungled response to Hurricane Katrina all occurred on George W. Bush's watch.

Unless, that is, you don't just rewrite history but redefine time itself. According to the Republicans' Magic Calendar, George W. Bush somehow "kept us safe" despite the carnage on September 11, 2001. Miraculously, it was President Bush who killed Osama Bin Laden, despite his opposition to the very kind of raid ordered by Barack Obama two years after Dubya left office."

"Amazingly, the Bush library seeks to ask visitors "What would you have done?" if you were in this president’s shoes. The ex-president’s defenders are betting that the public will reconsider their judgments after a hefty dose of historical amnesia. Bush has been absent from political debates in recent years, instead making millions in private speeches."

STUDY: 9/11 First Responders Have Higher Rates Of Cancer Than The General Population

STUDY: 9/11 First Responders Have Higher Rates Of Cancer Than The General Population: Responders to the September 11 attacks have a 15 percent higher rate of cancer than the general population, according to a new study published in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal. The study examined data from 20,984 first responders in the seven years after the 9/11 attack, a short time period that the study’s authors say [...]/p

Jeb Bush: 'History Will Be Kind to My Brother'
"As for comparing W.'s record to "what's going on now," the Obama administration has produced more jobs in 4 years than Bush/Cheney did in 8 -- not to mention the fact that they haven't suffered the worst mass-casualty terrorist attack in US history, let a US city drown, and presided over the worst financial crash since the Great Depression.

Good luck with that "W. was a great president" stuff, Jeb! It's a winner for 2016."

Ex-Army Officer Accuses CIA of Obstructing Pre-9/11 Intelligence-Gathering
"A decorated ex-clandestine operative for the Pentagon offers new revelations about the role the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) played in the shut-down of the military's notorious Able Danger program, alleged to have identified five of the 9/11 hijackers inside America more than a year before the attacks."

Getting 9/11 history right to fact check our threat response

Kurt Eichenwald, author of "500 Days: Secrets and Lies in the Terror Wars," talks with Rachel Maddow about what he learned about the previously unrealized degree of specificity and frequency of warnings the Bush administration received about a terror attack by Osama bin Laden leading up to the attacks on 9/11.

Bush White House Was Deaf Before the 9-11 Storm

Bush White House Was Deaf Before the 9-11 Storm
"On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bushreceived a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning's "presidential daily brief" — the top-secret document prepared by America's intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal."

PERRspectives: Failed Bush Team Marks 9/11 by Slandering Obama
"After all, on the same day Thiessen made his claim that the Obama White House laughed off as "hilarious," new revelations about the Bush administration's fatal lack of concern over the Al Qaeda threat to the U.S. homeland in 2001 came to light. Which is why Team Bush, the one which protested that "nobody could have predicted" the 9/11 tragedy, the chaos in Iraq, the Katrina disaster, the 2008 economic collapse and so much more, will forever be remembered by the words of Condoleezza Rice and President Bush himself:

"I believe the title was 'Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S.'""All right. You've covered your ass, now."

Writing in the New York Times, 500 Days author Kurt Eichenwald documented the Bush administration's near-total deafness to the rapidly growing threat from Osama Bin Laden in the summer of 2001. While Americans learned three years later of the famous August 6, 2001 PDB ("Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S"), Eichenwald's findings show the Bush White House pre-occupied with Saddam Hussein at best and, at worst, asleep at the wheel"

Bush-Cheney ignored warnings of imminent Bin Laden attack

Bush-Cheney ignored warnings of imminent Bin Laden attack
"Many of the Bush administration's advisers who ignored the warnings, who pushed for the focus on Iraq, are now advisers on Mitt Romney's team. As Eichenwald demonstrates, their casual references to the threat from the "Soviet Union" is the least of the reasons they should never ever be allowed near the levers of power in the future."

When Paul Ryan voted against the 9/11 heroes

When Paul Ryan voted against the 9/11 heroes
"The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, the law that created the World Trade Center Health Program to provide compensation for illnesses for the first responders and residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, has been expanded to include coverage for a variety of cancers.

The law was passed in 2010, named for police detective James Zadroga, who died at age 34 after working at Ground Zero. You might remember that Republicans opposed the bill in committee and then blocked passage of the bill under suspension before it was finally passed in the House under a regular rule and sent to the Senate.

You also might remember that Paul Ryan was among those Republicans voting against providing coverage to the 9/11 heroes."

9/11 First Responders Gain Coverage For Cancers Resulting From Ground Zero Hazards

9/11 First Responders Gain Coverage For Cancers Resulting From Ground Zero Hazards: First responders to World Trade Center have suffered major medical problems, both physical – caused by exposure to toxic dust – and mental. Some 1,000 deaths have been linked to illnesses caused by the environmental hazards at Ground Zero. Now, following an advisory committee’s recommendation, the National Institute for Occupational Safety has announced that more [...]/p

"When people adopt a highly rationalized worldview designed to justify whatever it is that they want to do, there's no diverting them from their plan -- even in the face of evidence that suggests their plan will lead to disaster. Such was the case with President George W. Bush  in the days leading up to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

9/11: When The Facts Didn't Fit Their Neocon Fantasy
"Astounding. This New York Times oped piece by Kurt Eichenwald says the neocon influence in the Bush White House was so all-consuming, so rigid, that when President Bush received numerous intelligence briefings about an impending attack by bin Laden, they decided it was an attempt to distract them from Saddam Hussein. Frightening, just how criminally negligent they were - and they've never admitted they were wrong, not even after all this time and all these people dead:"
