Former President George W. Bush on Saturday called on Americans to confront domestic violent extremists, comparing them to violent extremists abroad and warning that they are "children of the same foul spirit."
In a speech marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Bush said the US has seen "growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within."
"There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home," Bush said. "But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit."
"And it is our continuing duty to confront them," he added.
Bush's speech at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, came eight months after violent insurrectionists breached the US Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election for President Joe Biden.

“If you ever feel useless, just remember that it took USA 4 presidents, trillions of dollars, millions of lives and 20 years to replace Taliban with Taliban”
I’m more of a constitutional conservative sprinkled with some libertarianism. Having said that, reading these comments, the elites have y’all exactly where they want you.
@ericsw03 yea it’s kinda like when Trump handed over millions in equipment and bases in Syria except it was the Russians that got it not the Taliban.
@Hunter Roberts lol
@ericsw03 Surprised evacuation? Biden only postponed the withdrawal from the original date. Trump made the agreement with the Taliban Trumptard it wasn’t Biden. While I agree that Biden could have handled it better. Nobody knew that the Afghan government was going to bend over for the Talibans. But why I am wasting my time with a trumptard. Don’t bother in replying to me.
Don’t be stupid. Many empires have done the same. And your welcome.
Cheney and John Yoo along with Don Rumsfeld, Wolfy and Dave Addington
@tutnetam zoa org was founded in 1897.
Gitmo court then firing squad.
Don’t forget Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol, Karl Rove
Criminal trump released the leader of taliban from prison and gave him the keys to that country
Richard Perle too.
“If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts.”

It’s not too late.
@TOMG12XU for what?
@Bio Weapon they protected America, and made sure that the tErrOrIsTs cannot attack us again.
@Rachel Pettit Wow, Thank you, you educated me on a few things I did not know. Thanks for taking the time to remind us all. May God Bless you 🤗 United we stand!
@statesk8r go crawl back under your rock!
Let’s never forget that George Bush used the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks to lie us into a war with Iraq, which resulted in more American deaths than from the 9/11 attacks.
@Greg Marks America armed the Taliban when they were at war with Russia in the 90’s. That is because these people know how to survive and all those people we trained to fight the Taliban are now Taliban soldiers again. Will we ever learn?
@Greg Marks Afghanistan is to Lithium as China is to world battery leader, as Biden is to Contemporary Amperex Technology Company stock holder. Who can spot what’s going to happen next?
@Dementia Joe yeah I heard about the cobalt etc in Afghanistan. There is a strong CCP following in America…Afghanistan sell the lithium, China mines it, USA produces batteries etc…..cynical, but likely.
@Greg Marks It’s why this Old Bowl of Rotting Oatmeal, who used to be more center in his politics, is now a Radical Green New Deal advocate. You can guarantee it’s one of the many companies that his crack-pipe art son was visiting while in China.
@Christopher Putnam The invasion of Afghanistan was completely justified, but the invasion of Iraq was not justified.
A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.

That’s correct a criminal always returns to same place criminal acts were committed.wha a shame.
Criminal trump released the leader of taliban from prison and gave him the keys to that country. Never forget
@Truth91 obama did too lol
You got that right. But, you forgot to mention the biggest criminals, Clinton, Obama, and Biden. They should all be behind bars for the myriad of crimes they committed as Presidents( Spying on political opponents, leaving our servicemen behind to die in Benghazi, campaign finance violations, perjury, facilitating the sale and transfer of highly sensitive satellite technology to our enemies( China) for campaign contributions, and dereliction and negligence in office that resulted in the deaths of our servicemen and aiding and abetting the enemy by leaving them with 83 billion dollars of highly lethal weapons that will now allow them to use them against us.

@Truth91 And anyone who supported Trump needs to go on a list, right? For the domestic war on terror, right? Because of January 6th, of course? Yes, this well is ripe for extraction.
The word for the day class is Co-conspirator. Now lets use it in a sentence. “Why is this Co-conspirator speaking at the 911 memorial?”
@Dakoder II big pharm is held liable all of the time.. google “who paid the largest criminal fine in history”
@C M Correct. Presidents usually have quite small effect on world events – for good or ill. The world turns.
I am certain you were in on it as well.
A fine of millions of dollars seems large until you consider how many billions it came out of.
@Violet 13 they were fined literally a billion dollars
I once supported GWB. That’s before I understood who he really is.
@YouTubeHates TheTruth Are you a landlord? Most landlords are corporate trash, not mom and pop renting out a spare room. They deserve the shaft, don’t be a corporate cuck.
@YouTubeHates TheTruth We still have Covid, because some 80 million Americans see caring about their rights, is more important than caring about their neighbors.
The American Rescue Plan was a $1.9 trillion bill aimed at both providing additional funding for fighting the pandemic and helping the economy through the resulting recession. The measure included aid to state and local governments, increased unemployment insurance, support for vaccination efforts, education aid, refundable child tax credits and housing assistance.
I’m guessing your a landlord. I know landlords have to make money, but when people don’t have jobs, or can’t work because of covid, and therefore do not get paid. Its kind of hard to keep up. I’m sure you understand that. Would you rather see thousands of families thrown out into the street? There are enough third world country parts right here in the US of A.
@Ken Simmons Now we have an installed regime with their installed dictator barking out” his “ orders.
@Kuill Ugnaughty Democrats are literal fascist. Their merger with corporations to impose mandates proves this.
@Dustin Sindledecker Wacist
So, now can we suspend the unconstitutional patriot act?
@mike s. But, you do?
@Abigal Anderson Our last “hero” got his brains blown out in Dallas. Now, all we have is clever traitors.
@Robyn Perdieu Like, the “Fed Rez” never was “legally” ratified. “Gangsters”
@You more than that guy
@Daniel Matheus The polarized, smug certainty, of a true lefty liberal, anti-american, commy. Either-Or for you.
This man is a War Criminal. He lied to this nation, on the reasons, for invading Iraq in 2003.
@Leslie polk Where is the evidence for that? What he do/say? War crimes just means violations of the laws and customs of war in the name of international treaties. If a law has been violated, then what would you have done? And what if there was also a high possibility that the consequences for not taking that decision would backfire. Would you follow international treaties if they said to fall off a cliff? No. War is hard, especially when its hard to prove if you were actually in the right the whole time.
Bush a is a war criminal for sure. All this sh*t until this day is because of him. All this ISIS, Arab springs, AMERICAN DEATHS, NATO DEATHS and innocent civilian death is because of this fool.
@shoxite Would you follow international treaties if they said to fall off a cliff? What would you have done? What did he do wrong specifically?
@Pha Yu you are not calculating the situation right at all. If you want to ask questions… are we in a better place NOW or is it WORSE? Talking as someone who actually served in Afghanistan and lost several of my friends, we are in a much worse place. A rogue Bin Laden who we gave money and weapons to beat the Russians, could’ve been wiped out at that time. Government weapon contractors and and senators wanted to extend the war. We could’ve taken the bastard out and his little posse right away. Now the entire region is unstable and a million times over countries and many families hate the US even more. What do you think will happen when you wipe out families? No retaliation from them. There is no puffing your chest at the situation. One of my eyes has shrapnel inside and doctors can’t take it out or I will be blind. You don’t understand what you are saying.
@shoxite I’m very sorry that happened.
The terrorists just vowed to do revenge suicide attacks for prisons, so we should just let ourselves get killed some more then? I could get killed tomorrow for my beliefs for all I know. All of us want peace, but people with enough brain damage don’t care about peace. The world has to defend itself if there is imminent danger that doesn’t want to reason with you. What other alternatives are there besides that? Regarding the Russian stuff, where is the evidence? The mission should be to stop insurgents from posing a threat to foreign territories in the safest and well thought out way possible by reducing their military capability and working to fix problems so they can’t just hide in Pakistan or be at a distance to be able to respond to a threat. One of the combat controllers said the Russian stuff was fake disinformation. You’d have to elaborate more… From the looks of it, the Russians get better press when fighting in wars. Religion is very dangerous when interpreted uncritically, as it just gets generations after generations killed. Religion is the primary cause of 11 of the world’s 100 deadliest atrocities. According to the Encyclopedia of Wars, out of all 1,763 known/recorded historical conflicts, 123, or 6.98%, had religion as their primary cause. Radical firmly embedded religious beliefs have always been causing conflict throughout history…
Bush should’ve ended his incompetent wars himself during his term.
He actually had us set up to withdraw under obabo but he fucked it up and it kept us there another decade. But what would you know of reality.
@drew torres bush is a liberal
@Truth91 fake story you lie like Hunter’s dad
Arm chair quarterbacks. We hadn’t even caught Osama then….there was not an American ready to quit then
Lots of money to be made
George Bush is a neocon elitist. We haven’t forgotten you bush
@Truth91 yeah , and the democrats have colluded in the slaughter of the unborn children in the womb, and anybody who supports abortion has also colluded
@superpinkeee504 I don’t believe or trust anybody who supports the slaughter of the unborn children in the womb, hear that democrats
@Johnny Lightning You’ll just leave em on the street after 20 years, pro life is the biggest scam.
George Bush is being puppeteer by the same puppet master as Biden, and aunty kams!!!
@Nivlac Senoj again your words of fake compassion .
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”

@Rechelle Benge Is your name “Echo”?
@R Dub Some people didn’t seem to get the “irony” , hence America as it is.
@Herr Wahnsinn “This” is what “I” wanted to say. Very well put, props ta-ya.
@You May you live in interesting times – old Chinese proverb, some call it a curse. We are witnessing the greatest phony times ever, financial market or otherwise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not into mainstream religion actually a pagan, ancient and esoteric but I still call it the tide of God….. and Satan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
You i agree. That was my bush ism……I think it was an SNL spoof
Bush is the one that started the Iraq war that was a mistake, and the Afghanistan war which was a 20 year failure.
Both sides agreed to it.

Yet Biden managed to kill 13 Americans, and checks his watch at the funeral.
@OO Gatz He also killed a U.S. Aid worker and children with a HelllFire from a drone, and said he was a terrorist
@GeorgeH it was going pretty well until some super old guy pulled us
The irony of his speech.
But he can talk, biden can’t talk with or without a teleprompter
Obviously he retained his speech writer because he’s still got those deep emotional pulls.
Criminal trump released the leader of taliban from prison and gave him the keys to that country. Never forget
Biden is a fraud and needs to go. Trump won.
@Benjamin Levine are you delusional?
Biden has no speech because he can’t talk or walk, a laughing joke.
If you buy the so-called “Patriot Act” was written in a month’s time and it was for our benefit, then I have mountain property to sell you in coastal Louisiana.
@john Solberg Building 7 was controlled demolition. No plane hit it. And there is NO WAY an aluminum plane could slice thru reinforced steel.
@Joshua Phillips yes, all the “isms” communism, socialism, fascism, capitalism all lead to cronyism. We were to be a pure capitalist system under a constitutional republic and were derailed long ago by treasonous sell outs.
@Eagle Eye agreed
All the proof you need that “liberals” in2021 are exactly like bush, you’re the same team doing the same false flag bs, the new NSA is CDCand contact tracers, minimum wage level unskilled power hungry dip shts hired by govt to go around harassing the public on a power trip
Well stated..
The division started with Gingrich. That was the beginning of the end of our nation.
Arthur Finkelstein did this according to the stall wall.
The “W” stands for “worthless”. He always has been.
@kelperdude Trump had four years to kill off the Taliban and wasn’t exactly successful either.
@Bridget Drummond – Biden let the Taliban take over. He is a useless hot mess that cost many lives with his exit.
That would apply to 44
@kelperdude I agree but if held at gun point and had to tell the person holding the gun who I prefer out of the 3…… I would take Busch.
Bush was nothing compared to the pos we have now.
Says the guy who literally lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which led us into a war that had nothing to do with Al Queda and the Taliban.
Says d Anna who knows the election was stolen, now look what we have, A brain dead fake president with Dementia he can’t talk read or walk.
