George W. Bush On Osama Bin Laden's Death

Former President George W. Bush has revealed details about how he found out that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had been killed.

ABC News quotes Bush: "I was eating souffle at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies," Bush said when asked what he was doing when he received the call from President Obama, according to an ABC News contributor who attended the event.

"I excused myself and went home to take the call," Bush said. "Obama simply said 'Osama Bin Laden is dead.'"

I cannot stand the former President.

But if he is sincere in helping veterans then good. Hopefully he won't screw that up.

Too bad we have no reason to think he's sincere. Quite the opposite based on his record.

During his presidency he would have said, 'Ah put down mah juicy fried chicken leg, wiped my mouth with mah sleeve and high-tailed it outta there.' This statement reveals that he no longer wants to be seen as the guy who eats in the same restaurant or wants to have dinner with tea party folks who are jus' like him. Now he's at the black-tie Obama level.

Consider yourselves dumped, persona non grata, seduced and abandoned. Reagan did the same thing but he let them know he only used them to get elected by his second term.

The header should have been, "GWB Breaks Wind Over Bin Laden's Death."
You were probably "eating souffle" with both hands, right? Too bad that 1000's
of Iraq war vets no longer have that option because of your inept, illegal war.
NEVER hearing from you again would be too soon.

You know, I almost never respond to this kind of humor. I think it comes from having raised a son through his cool 'wind breaking contest' years with his friends. You made me burst out laughing. I'm still laughing out loud. But the soberness of your statement hits home too, we don't even know the full assessment of death and damage done for the sake of a lazy rich alcoholic's ego.

hey george - you don't want to talk to us anymore and we really don't want to hear from you either! You FAILED to protect us after getting the "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Within the US" National Security Memo. You FAILED to pay for your wars to get Saddam's NON EXISTENT wmds and to NOT GET Bin LAden. You FAILED to protect our economic interests and the entire nation almost deteriorated into another Great Depression. Does the statement Junior FIDDLED while Rome...er...America burned...ring a bell?

Considering Dubya led the country into a war based on lies and propaganda, he ought to be forced to "support" those "wounded warriors" out of the Bush family fortune.

See what a president can accomplish when he doesn't have to spend time cutting brush on a tax dodge ranch?

[Reiner-von-Sinn]

Dumped the ranch as quick as his handlers didn't need it for photo ops, background or props anymore, and then young Georgie II moved uptown, to an exclusive, expansive, luxurious millionaire enclave.

That almost covers it except... thanks George for looting the treasury when he had a surplus,* remember Al Gore would have kept it in a lock box.

WTF? "People who do not look like us want freedom just as much. The relatives of [former Secretary of State] Condoleezza Rice over 100 years ago wanted freedom."

I close my eyes and she him ducking a thrown shoe, over and over and over.....

"ABC News quotes Bush: "I was eating souffle at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies," Bush said when asked what he was doing when he received the call from President Obama"

yeah ... I'll eat my souffle while trying to earn "points" by supporting wounded soldiers that I put at harms way -- not because my decisions had anything to do with national security; but because it had everything to do with political ideology and rich billionaire buddies who profited from war (with false information to boot!)

what a farce Pres. Bush is!

[Jim Pasterczyk]

What a farce the oblivious right is who still believe he was a great president and will go down in history as such.
