Current Events > Do you think george w bush handled the day of 9/11 well?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i think most thought the handled the day well, but of course not the years after

I mean, I am super critical of his shitty decisions throughout his presidency, but the way he acted was pretty much exactly what anyone would do in that situation. What the hell else could he do, really?

great readers. very impressive
---

Yes and no. I feel like he did a good job by not acting out In front of the kids...and I know thats a lot to take in, but he should have been up and out the moment he heard
---

Yeah.

Yes.

If I was in his position after learning that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for that terrible act I would have ordered the launch of around a thousand hydrogen bombs to hit various countries in the region killing a few hundred million people and nuking more than a few holy sites. I mean Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Ahsa, I mean by the time I hit city 10 out of 100 I would be hitting cities you had never even heard of before but I would just keep nuking till I hit 100 cities that I held most responsible and then I would have sent in an Army to comb through the wasteland that used to be that part of the planet and call it New New Mexico and call it a day. That is what I would have done and we would of collectively felt real bad about it.

It wouldn't be bad in a sense of a terrorist threat because everyone would be fucking dead but it would be bad morally. Like "what did we do?" You know? Like we wouldn't have boots on the ground dealing with IEDs and all that stuff it would be more boots on the ground stomping through the ashes of damn near a billion human beings that used to be alive and now aren't. That would be a harsh reality. I mean can you even imagine what that would be like. Just a clean sweep from coast to coast from Morroco to Pakistan with every single city over 200,000 people hit with a megaton yield hydrogen bomb such that the entire metro area was blasted to basically nothing.

That would have been the wrong choice. He made the right one.
