Bush links al Qaeda to Iraq militias

[maineman]

bush lovers like rsr don't care about the terrorist threat as much as they care about maintaining the illusion that their boy has done a good job.

they desperately want to hold onto the white house so that their party can control the agenda, nominate supreme court justices, overturn Roe, overturn AA, and basically turn back the clock on all the advances of the last century and make america the christian theocracy they have dreamt about. additionally, they continue to believe in the thorougly discredited PNAC vision of multicultural jeffersonian democracy springing up throughout the middle east creating strong american allies of all the oil producing nations.

they will lie and slander and obfuscate and spin furiously in their efforts to maintain power in their efforts to get all of that accomplished.

 

[red states rule]

the war in iraq has done nothing but increase the treat of terrorisum.

and what did the US do to get 9-11?

What did Clinton do in eight years to piss off the terrroists?

Answer: He did nothing and that is why they hit us

got any new Rush oneliners. one more time: I am all for going after the guys who attacked us. I am all for going after islamic extremists sworn to attack America.

We tried it your way. five years. a trillion dollars. 30K dead and wounded Americans.... the mideast boiling over into civil war.

and Al Qaeda is just as strong as it was the day it attacked us. When you are going in the wrong direction, the first thing to do is to stop moving in that direction. We need to find a more effective path. Your way has not achieved anything towards making America any safer. But then, we know that you care more about Iraqi safety and security than you do America's... that is self-evident.

To libs like you the truth is always dismissed as "Rush oneliners" As it has ben proven, you should feel safe Al Qaeda is back to where it was when Bill left office

you've said that same line over and over again. If I had known how dangerous AQ was when Clinton was in office, I would have not felt anywhere near as safe as I did when he left. If Bush was so concerned about our safety before 9/11, why did HE have Ashcroft cut $52M from the DoJ anti-terror budget and move it to the anti-porn task force? If Bush was so concerned about AQ, why did he ignore the August PDB and then go play golf? If Bush was so concerned about Al Qaeda, why did he ignore OBL and invade Iraq, waste five years, a trillion dollars and 3oK dead and wounded Americans?

Libs sure as hell were not worried about AQ when Bill was running things

You should feel safe since all is back to where they were under him

did you - or any republicans - call for the invasion of Afghanistan before 9/11?

9-11 changed the "rules"

However, Clinton did nothing to fight terrorism even after 5 attacks under his watch

It was a crime issue to him - not an act of war

 

[maineman]

If 9/11 changed the rules, what "rules" would the republicans have used to deal with OBL PRIOR to 9/11? As I said, I don't recall anyone from your side suggesting we invade Afghanistan to go get him. I can recall your side getting all over Clinton for launching a cruise missile attack on Afghanistan trying to take out OBL. What "rules" would you have played by and what actions would you have taken if your guys were in power from 97-2000?

Were Republicans in power? Bill was CIC at the time

Republicans will not try to take over the job of the CIC as Dems are trying to do today

Did you miss the word IF? I asked you what you would have done differently than Clinton IF your guys had been in power. Answer the question.

you have never told me what the republican approach would have entailed had a republican been the president instead of Clinton during the years 1997-2000. I am waiting. What would you have done? Would you have invaded Afghanistan before 9/11?

With a Republican President, who could say?

The fact is, Clinton failed to do his job. he was to busy with other affairs

YOU could say. If you claim that Clinton failed to do his job, that must mean that you have some idea as to what sort of alternative actions would have created success.

How can you say that Clinton was a failure when you cannot say what he or you or anyone else could have or would have done any differently to cause a different outcome?

Clinton did not see terrorist attacks as an act of war

He ran away from the fight and inspired them to hit us on 9-11

you did not answer my question. Here...try again

If you claim that Clinton failed to do his job, that must mean that you have some idea as to what sort of alternative actions would have created success.

How can you say that Clinton was a failure when you cannot say what he or you or anyone else could have or would have done any differently to cause a different outcome?

What would or could a republican president have done any differently? What sorts of actions were republicans urging Clinton to take that he did NOT take?

Come on...this should be an easy one for you

and as I have said before, NOTHING inspired Islamic extremists to think that America was a paper tiger MORE than Ronnie Reagan turning tail and running away when 250 leathernecks were blown to bits in Beirut...

but republicans don't like to talk about that, let alone acknowledge the significance of it.

Being a liberal hack you would blame something that happened 24 years BEFORE 9-11 - while you give your guy Bily a pass
