By Alvin Leaphart, attorney-at-law, Jesup, Ga. | At the time Bill Clinton left office and George Bush took over, this country was on a sound financial footing. During the Bush administration we suffered the 911 Attack. As the result we attacked Iraq, destroyed the Iraqi Army, essentially killed Saddam Hussein, and destroyed the balance of power in the Mid-East.
It has been a long war, the longest in our history . . . and expensive. The Bush Administration, contrary to the act of any former wartime administration, lowered taxes rather than raise them to meet the expense of the war. Also there was not a single Iraqi on any 911 aircraft, and Iraq had nothing to do with the attack.
They were Saudis and the attack was instigated by Saudis. Why didn’t we attack Saudi Arabia? Osama bin Laden was a Saudi and his family was in business with the Bush family. After all airports in the United States were closed immediately after the disaster, one private plane flew out of the United States; it was loaded with the bin Laden family members headed back to Saudi Arabia. Decide for yourself.
If it had NOT been for the disastrous war with Iraq and Afghanistan we would not have had the economic problems in this country that we faced as the result of the war, we would not have had to deal with Iran on the nuclear threat, there would have no Mideast upheavals . . . and we certainly would not have had the threat of ISIS.
So we need to get off President Obama’s back. He has done the best he could with what the Bush Republican Administration caused. And we should get off this email stuff with Hillary Clinton and look at the real causes of our problems, and put them blame where it belongs . . . on the Bush Republican Administration.
