So blowing up a empty camp in Afghanistan and a aspirin factory in Sudan qualifies as going after Al Qaeda? Hmmm, weird.
Clinton took Al Qaeda serious enough to perform military action, and build a counter-terrorism group with cabinet level access to combat them. Those efforts were infinitely superior to the Bush administration's efforts to stop Al Qaeda in the months leading up to 9/11.... Those efforts amounted to pretending that Al Qaeda was a figment of Clinton's imagination.
So you give Clinton a pass for having some meaningless military action preformed, which resulted in no net results. Never mind the fact that the Clinton administration had two years to bring Al Qaeda suspects to justice after the African Embassy bombings. How did that workout, oh wait it didn't.
I believe it is because they didnt think that what Bush did was going to happen. I believe they thought it was going to be just some cruse missiles and that was it. Afterall what did Bill do? The reason why they hit the WTC is because it was the financial capital of the Untied States.
I give Clinton credit for doing SOMETHING as opposed to the Bush administration that did NOTHING. Unless you can inform us what the Bush administration did to combat Al Qaeda when they took over in 2001. From 1998: http://articles.cnn.com/1998-08-20/....02_1_sudanese-television-bin-ladens?_s=PM:US Your turn.
And he gutted the Intel communities, launched cruise missiles rather then dealing with them, and treated them as a criminal org. rather then a military one. What did Bush do? He stepped up to the plate and took on AG rather then sending cruise missiles. How many terrorist attacks happened under Clinton vs. Bush?
Where did I defend Bush and his efforts to combat terrorism prior to 9/11, please do try to pay attention. What Im addressing is your blatant revisionism of history. Roots of 9/11 span five different Presidential administrations and their foreign policy decisions. If you could take off your koolaid tinted glasses and drop your idiotic pin it all on bush talking point for a second, you might learn something. Your turn.
You defend Bush by trying to equate Clinton's action and foresight to the formers' inaction and ignorance. Frankly if Clinton (or another Democrat) were president, 9/11 probably wouldn't have occurred.
I'm sorry you can't cope with the fact that Clinton failed in his efforts against Al Qaeda, and your brainwashed assertion that 9/11 probably wouldn't have happened if a democrat was in office, just goes to show how lost in the sauce you are. Thanks for playing kid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreig...stration#Counterterrorism_and_Osama_bin_Laden Happy reading. Other 9/11s occurred during the Clinton administration? Please enlighten us.
They can certainly see the benefits of a free society. Our armed forces have to amaze them. And as for your assertion that we are somehow treating them badly. Well I guess it just goes with your propagandist bent. They sure as hell have a very high turnout for the elections. skippy.
How did the all of the other attacks happen hummm? Bc he cut the human intel bugget. Maybe you should get yoru head out of yoru ass and go look it up Lets see 93, WTC 98-Embesy bombings 00-Cole Why did those happen.
Ok, first of all where did I assert that we were treating Iraqis bad, or did you just make that up in your mind? And, those elections you talk about, I remember standing on the roof of a gutted school house outside Sammara, watching Iraqis dodge mortar rounds, to get to the polling station we were over watching. Guess you were there too? Didn't think so. The Iraqis have a fragmented sectarian government that does not represent every Iraqi, sorry but that's not freedom. Skippy.
Bingo. Clinton WAS a paper tiger,Bush was not. Hell they even had an attack on those same towers with very little response once before with a truck bomb in 1993. Clinton didn't do diddly squat.
So, since I don't agree with your squeaky clean version of pre 9/11, I must watch msnbc, huh? Wow, gotta love the brainwashed partisan black&white view of everything. How amusing.
And Obama went after Bin Laden to prop up his poll numbers. Bush knew the bastard was hiding and wasn't anything more than a mumbling idiot by the time he'd finished with his organization. Double tapping Bin Laden was nothing more than a publicity stunt by the time it happened. Bush was using the bastard as a lure.
Well good for you for being there. It was just a bit late for me to be there at my age. Not that I really believe people on a message board. But if you did serve, thank you.
When did I ever a dresses you a "fox myrmidon"? Getting a little defensive and huffy, huh? How about read thru the whole thread before you jump to conclusions and embarrass yourself. Just a suggestion.
I don't really care if you believe me or not, because I have a DD214 that says I did, and that's all that matters.
bush,clinton,obama are controlled by the same lobby group. As for al ciada it does not even exist. Heres what really happened. 911 - 10 years later and people are still unaware of this [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k-WooZiEiE"]911 SOLVED IN 2 MINUTES - YouTube[/ame] In saying that the muslims only wished they had the logistics ,power and means to do such a thing.The duel citizen jews who were instrumental in the fight against terrorism in America did have. It would not be the first time the arab/jew semites have teamed up together to takeover goyim/infidels lands. They have done so throughout history. Take Iran for example, did you know that iran has specific JEW representation in their governmental procedures. Still look at these arab grubs.(jews are arabs in denial,mongrel bred evil lunatics.Where ever they are misery follows.) Muslims desecrate 9/11 memorial service.London Police block white opponents. This will also go into the UK new items, but for US cousins--see what happens here. A memorial service for the 67 British victims of the 9/11 event was held in the US Embassy gardens today attended by the US Ambassador, Prince Charles, the Prime Minister, notable Americans and the families of the victims. The service was televised and at its commencement loud shouting was clearly heard. The rants were coming from megaphones wielded by a bunch of *******s called "Muslims against Crusades" who burnt a US flag in "honour" of the "Martyrs of 911" across the road from the embassy. While being permitted to do this a group of White English Defence League members were prevented by the police from confronting them. 9/11 anniversary: Muslim protesters burn US flag outside embassy in London - Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...s-burn-US-flag-outside-embassy-in-London.html YOU BETTER WAKE UP WHITE MAN.
