Gee, where have we heard this before?

On Feb. 26, 1993, a car bomb was detonated at the World Trade Center in New York City, killing six people and injuring thousands. The bomb caused extensive damage to the complex. Osama bin Laden is suspected to have been behind the attacks.

In reacting to the attack, Clinton urged calm.

"I would plead with the American people and the good people of New York to keep your courage up and go on about your lives. I would discourage the American people from overreacting to this," Clinton said.

Clinton assured Americans that he had put forth "the full, full resources of the federal law enforcement agencies - all kinds of agencies, all kinds of access to information - at the service of those who are trying to figure out who did this and why."

He also said he would implement a policy of "continued monitoring."

Clinton said the United States was "absolutely determined to oppose the cowardly cruelty of terrorists, wherever we can."

And

On June 25, 1996, terrorists attacked the U.S. military complex and Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, killing 19 Americans and wounding hundreds more.

Shiite militant terrorists with connections to bin Laden are thought to have been responsible for the attacks.

In a televised statement, Clinton addressed the nation with news about the bombing:

"The explosion appears to be the work of terrorists. The cowards who committed this murderous act must not go unpunished," Clinton said. "America takes care of its own."

And

On Oct. 12, 2000, terrorists bombed the USS Cole as it sat in the Yemeni port of Aden. The bomb killed 17 U.S. sailors. American officials quickly linked the attack to bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

Global News Wire reported Clinton's response:

"If, as it now appears, it was an act of terrorism, it was a despicable and cowardly act," he said.

"We will find out who was responsible, and hold them accountable. If their intention was to deter us from our mission of promoting peace and security in the Middle East, they will fail, utterly."

As they say, talk is cheap.

Agreed

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Anyone stop to think that this is just another distraction from Obama?

Bush relented because he, and many others, thought Laden was dead already. Have we seen him lately? At all? We haven't even heard a peep from him. Likely he's dead and now Obama is just using this to distract people.

Obama didn't use anything - WE were posting on the empty words of politicians when it comes to putting American lives on the line and WE quoted Democrats AND Republicans.
So YOUR attempt to turn this into partisan BS is the ONLY attempt to spin this into some partisan BS.

Why not READ first and respond LATER!!!!

Diversionary Practice of war, a common presidential tactic to distract the people from domestic issues
