fucking wild on retrospect that a republican sec of defense wanted to cut the military budget. I cannot fathom that today. Even getting dems to want to cut the defense budget is rare now. They really seized the moment to drag this country as far right as possible
The Bush administration accomplished more with their shock therapy than any other administration within the countries history.
They essentially formally legalized forever war, over anything that can remotely be described as "terrorism". Truthfully most of the new toys created by the Bush administration didn't really get to show their new muscle until the Obama years where he only escalated things.
One thing to remember is that the deep state is more powerful than the Congress. They have lobbying capabilities that functionally just run our government with congress mostly just being an oversight entity.
I think it depends on if you believe 9/11 was just allowed to happen by the government (either by incompetence or by malice) or was made to happen. The latter descends into trutherism and screaming about THE JEWS
