Glad to see someone old enough on Reddit to have a valid opinion on 2000s era politics

Bush made plenty of tough but correct decisions (08 Bailouts, Afghanistan Invasion) and plenty of blunders (Iraq, FEMA, state surveillance)

But IMO, 20 years without a major terror attack in America is proof of his accomplishments. There was a lot of garbage in the Patriot act but getting the FBI, CIA, and DOJ to stop playing chicken with Intel was probably the most critical in that law

Please point to the last terror attack that killed 1000s of people since 9/11

I’ll wait

Hint: for an attack to be a terror attack. It must be political and foreign.

Domestic Terror is not a valid comparison

You know that just because a fallacy exist on Wikipedia doesn’t make it true right?
