If Clinton had take the identical actions to GW after 9/11 would the right wing in this country have supported him and rallied around the military as they have under GW? I think not. When I think about how they trashed him for Bosnia (work left by Bush I) and Kosovo, I know in my heart they would have impeached him for these actions and the pundits would have been mericless.

They wouldn't have stopped at impeachment - they would have dragged him down to the Washington mall, then drawn and quartered him.

Lynch wouldn't be just the name of an American POW.
Clinton wouldn't have lived long enough to invade Iraq.

They'd have united in sympathy the rest of the week and started impeachment hearings on Monday, Sept 17th.

6. Nah, they would have pulled the guillotine out
to the town square and chopped his head off on live TV for his incompetence in being unable to protect this country from terrorists Oh but they would have made it pay per view, with Clear Channel handling the promotion and broadcast.

15. Thus the answer is: "No"
Kinda the opposite of a "is the Pope catholic?" question.

11. I don't access to RW boards but I would like someone to post this question
to the RW boards to see what they would say. The question itsself should make them start thinking about why they support Bush.

"The question itsself should make them start thinking about why they support Bush." Get THEM thinking? I doubt it. The would just go on about the cigar. It would be cool though to see what they would say.

17. What did they do after the first WTC bombing?
Wasn't that just a few weeks into his first term? That would make it Poppy's responsibility, not that the freeptards would ever admit that.
