"Clinton/Gore didn't do anything about terrorism for 8 long years"
That's all I heard from repuke callers on CSPAN this morning. I am also hearing it on the talk shows from repuke pundits. There it is folks. The repuglicans are getting the word out that Clinton/Gore did nothing about terrorism and their sheep will believe it and repeat it like parrots. They want Clinton/Gore to get the blame for 9/11 and not Bush.

Stupid, ignorant motherfuckers!:mad:

3. What ever happened to...
personal accountability???

I don't think I have ever heard BBBBush take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. It takes a strong person...Maybe he can take some lessons from Richard Clarke- or maybe he will take credit for Clarkes integrity.

4. The planners of the first WTC bombing are in prison
The planners of the second attack roam free.

5. They can want it all they want
and I know they are pros at rewriting history, but this one is too big for them to sweep under the rug.

I just don't get these idiots. An honest patriot would want to know the truth, so something like 911 won't happen again. But the talking heads are opportunists desperately spinning to keep the votes and support of their brainwashed idiot followers.

I'm tired of them all.

6. If anyone was keeping score: 3,000 dead in 8 months
vs a couple of dozen in 8 years.

Not a pleasant stat to use?

8. If only the 9/11 Commission would ask questions about the
actual HAPPENING on 9/11 rather than just repeating the material the Congress just got through using which was all about who "didn't do enough about terrorism". We have no idea what actually happened on 9/11, all we have are questions the first one of which has to be why the airforce was ordered to stand down and not intercept the "highjacked" planes that were being tracked on radar. Just this question alone would put the onus on dimwit to explain why the attack was not prevented.

They keep explaining that these nitwits "did something about terrorism after 9/11". So what did they do? Why, they said they were bombing the Taliban, a group that had been trained by our CIA as our second mercenary army in Afganistan. Bush had sent a million or so bucks to the Taliban in May, 2001 as a "reward" and this was years after we knew of the Taliban's ongoing vicious treatment of women. Later it came out that the Taliban apparently merely dispersed and returned to their villages. Then we gave Afganistan back to those who had been our first mercenary army, those who had swept across Afganistan murdering thousands after they ran the Russians out. Next this group of thugs illegally attacked Iraq, a country which had had nothing at all to do with the "terrorism" of 9/11. This after having early on shown pictures of seven Saudi men several of whom have since turned up alive. So, what have they done to this day?

10. This is bullshit
He tried to pass an anti-terrorism bill the congress took a crap on.

He wanted to go after Bin Laden but the only time he did he missed and the Repukes made fun of Clinton for it and still are.

They accuse him of doing nothing and made fun of him when he did.

Typical nonsense.

11. Repukes did nothing about terrorism for ten long years...
and before this Reagan boosted funding for terrorism against Soviets in Afghanistan, then Bush became close and cozy with the Bin Ladens in Saudi Arabia during Gulf War I.

Only after an attack on the World Trade Center did they show some interest in this issue! But this shall be clear to everyone once they're thrown out for blatant incompetence :evilfrown:

12. These ignorant motherfuckers have their collective heads up their asses.
In 1999 (the guy's name escapes me) an Al Quaida operative was caught in my state, Washington, trying to smuggle explosives in from Canada.

The sad fact is if the 9-11 operatives had been caught and the destruction of the World Trade Center averted Bush would not gotten as much political mileage from success as he has from failing to prevent this disaster.

13. Um -- they STOPPED those people who were planning to bomb LAX
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 12:07 AM by Lisa
In late 1999, a guy tried to transport bomb-making materials into the US. (He actually tried to make the border crossing on a ferry trip from Victoria, B.C., a town where I currently live -- I can see the boat from my window.) He was caught.

p.s. I know some people who work in Customs on the Canadian side, and scuttlebutt is that the Americans were tipped off, either by Canadian authorities or by someone "embedded" in the conspiracy. Whatever it was, it worked.

14. Exactly Clinton intel stoped the attack at LAX
Bush dismantled that same inteligence machine shortly after taking office.

Being captured at the border was no mistake. They only played it in the media as a chance inspection by a customs agent as to not give up covert anti terror operations.

So would have 911 happened under Gore's watch .... Hell No !!

They would have caught it once reports of middle eastern men paying for 767 flight simulator hours with cash started coming in
