Where was this during his presidency?

Bush defended his decision to invade Iraq in 2003, saying taking Saddam Hussein out of power was the right thing to do and that the world is a better place without him.

The former president also stood by the decision to waterboard Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-professed mastermind of the September 11th attacks.

Bush said he would quote “do it again to save American lives.”

One of the biggest problems President Bush had was defending himself against  baseless attacks from the left. The media accused the President  of being a sadistic torturer, akin to Torquemada. In addition, George W. Bush was painted as a heartless warmonger, looking to ‘steal Iraq’s oil.’ The truth of the matter is that waterboarding terrorists like KSM, which was only done to 3 terrorists, and fighting terrorists where they live, kept America safe. On September 12, 2001, who would have believed that the country would not be hit again over the next 7 years?

Besides being the Great Liberator, George W, Bush was “The Decider.” As President, George Bush understood where the buck stopped. Unlike Chairman O, Bush made the tough calls. He didn’t vote present. President Bush did not have to worry about his immediate legacy, he correctly understood that in the end, history would vindicate him.
