Yeah, now. But at the time, everyone knew it was the one big moment that confirmed he would never get a second term. In theory, a case could be made for all that other stuff.

Bush Sr. just was not a very likely president. He had no ability to connect to the average Joe. When you look at pictures of him in his younger days, you get the impression he was a bit of a motherfvcker. Just an as$hole. I say this with some affection. It also goes to show that you never get credit for things that you actually manage to pull off. Such as after being shot down in WW2, surviving, floating in the Pacific ocean for a couple days before he was rescued.

And had to devote quality time to the family friends the bin Ladens.

Interestingly, on Sept. 11, 2001, members of the Carlyle Group – including Bush senior, and his former secretary of state, James Baker – were meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., along with Shafiq bin Laden, another one of Osama bin Laden’s brothers.

While all flights were halted following the terrorist attacks, there was one exception made: The White House authorized planes to pick up 140 Saudi nationals, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, living in various cities in the U.S. to bring them back to Saudi Arabia, where they would be safe. They were never interrogated.
