After studying hundreds of years of history, conservatives have the solutions down to a
science - while progressives continue to toil in catastrophic failure as they ignore reality in favor of ideology.
As Ronald Reagan stated - "
weakness invites aggression". When Bill Clinton refused to deal with Al Qaeda and pulled out of Somalia at the first sign of a fight (like a coward), he convinced the world that America was cowardly. That emboldened the world. That coupled with failing to deal with Al Qaeda gave them the time and motivation to plan and execute 9/11. The mastermind of the attack - Khalid Sheik Mohammed - admitted that they were stunned by the response by the Bush Administration and that the Bush strategy prevented more attacks.
“Then he looked at me and said,
‘How was I supposed to know that cowboy George Bush would announce he wanted us ‘dead or alive’ and then invade Afghanistan to hunt us down?’” Mitchell writes.
“KSM explained that
if the United States had treated 9/11 like a law enforcement matter, he would have had time to launch a second wave of attacks.” He was not able to do so because
al-Qaeda was stunned “by the ferocity and swiftness of George W. Bush’s response.”
Had Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush been in office instead of Bill Clinton, 9/11
never happens. Weakness invites aggression. And the progressive idealistic weakness has invited unspeakable horrors against the U.S. It was done once again by Barack Obama - by making heavy cuts to our U.S. military (sending a signal to enemies) and by sending billions in ransom money to Iran.
A horrifying look into the mind of 9/11’s mastermind, in his own words
