George Bush’s Almost Perfect 9/11 Speech

I just listened to George Bush’s speech in Shanksville, PA, on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  His speech was inspirational and worthy of the heroism of the people on Flight 93.  My favorite part of his speech was “20 years ago, terrorists chose a random group of Americans on a routine flight to be collateral damage in a spectacular act of terror.  The 33 passengers and seven crew of Flight 93 could have been any group of citizens selected by fate.  In a sense, they stood in for us all.  The terrorists soon discovered that a random group of Americans is and exceptional group of people”.

But…his irrational hatred of Trump and Trump’s supporters drove him to ruin an otherwise perfect speech.  He made a veiled comparison of the 9/11 terrorists to the people who unlawfully entered the Capital on 1/6.  I could envision Liz Chaney on his shoulder whispering in his ear to not forget to take a shot at Trump.

Very unfortunate.

  1. Very sad but remember his dad was the first to bring up the new world order. The Bushes can’t seem to take a stand against the left. To many good cocktail parties to go to.
