GWB's History as President, as Written on the White House Website, Conflates Iraq With 9/11

And conflates the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions. Also, no mention whatsoever of "WMD".

The most significant event of President Bush’s tenure came on September 11, 2001, when terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people on American soil. President Bush responded with a comprehensive strategy to protect the American people. He led the most dramatic reorganization of the federal government since the beginning of the Cold War, reforming the intelligence community and establishing new institutions like the Department of Homeland Security. He built global coalitions to remove violent regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq that threatened America; liberating more than 50 million people from tyranny. He recognized that freedom and hope are the best alternative to the extremist ideology of the terrorists, so he provided unprecedented American support for young democracies and dissidents in the Middle East and beyond. In the more than seven years after September 11, 2001, the United States was not attacked again.

Who writes these Presidential eulogies for the White House's website?

3. What a steaming pile
of not-so-happy horse manure.

Does the web site mention anything about him continuing to sit in a classroom, engrossed in a 2nd grade reading lesson, after being told that "America is under attack"?

4. Well of course! What did you expect the truth!?
George W Bush IS a lie, his very life is nothing more than a fabrication. Everything about his existence is wrong and false. We will never see the truth, because even the govt after Bush can't handle what a lowlife scumbag criminal he and Cheney are.
