Seething!!!! Some FB friends are blaming Clinton for 911 BC of NYT Piece out today. nt

[LaydeeBug]

I am too angry for words.

[PearliePoo2]

1. Then they need to actually read the piece.

Bushies didn't need no stinkin' input. Clinton's people were dismissed.

[LaydeeBug]

3. Remember when this happened and they said, "Wag the Dog"& "He's trying to keep Monica off the news"

are the same ones saying this now.

Oh I am PISSED

[Voice for Peace]

11. I don't recall Clinton talking about 911 in his speech, and how the Repubs had....

disregarded the previous administration's work & warnings.

Did he even mention it?

But he could have made it a BIG deal, as it was.

[get the red out]

2. Hate Radio

I believe right wing radio would have a lot to do with that.

[rfranklin]

4. Okay, grant them that Clinton "did nothing." Why did Bush continue to do nothing?

Ask them exactly what anti-terrorism measures Bush instituted when he came into office.

I believe that Bush people actually defunded anti-terrorism efforts. (Ashcroft in particular.)

[progressivebydesign]

13. But Clinton did NOT "do nothing" he handed them all the intel they had.

He urged them to sit down with his intel people to discuss the threat. HE took the Hart/Rudman report seriously, and was blown off by Bush's people. His own people begged the Bushies to put aside their political differences and deal with the threat. They refused.

I will not grant them that Clinton did "nothing" even if it's for the sake of argument.

[madrchsod]

5. mad? i`d just laugh in their faces.

my rabid republican friends have`t said one word about the new york times article.
.

[RockaFowler]

6. These are the same people who blame President Obama for the Recession

It's like Bush never existed. They had 2 terms of Clinton straight into Obama

Looney

[dogman]

7. As President Clinton said at the DNC,

tell them to read Richard Clarke's book. He observed this from the beginning and his only loyalty is to his country, not any political entity.

[Sugarcoated]

8. Didn't Clinton give smirky advice on the Oval Office handoff

to keep a close eye on OBL? Repubs are a freaking joke.

[JohnnyRingo]

9. Let 'em

Find Clinton's approval ratings and ask how it feels to be in such a small minority and let them know they seem to be convincing no one. Point out that if Big Dog could run again, he'd beat every Republican in the country by a landslide if he could find one that stupid.

Crybabies.

10. Clinton at least had Gore chair a commission on aviation safety and security

http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/212fin~1.html

White House Commission on

Aviation Safety and Security

FINAL REPORT
TO
PRESIDENT CLINTON

VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE, CHAIRMAN
FEBRUARY 12, 1997

Tell them to check out chapter 3.

[LaydeeBug]

12. Now they're saying President Obama is "taking credit" for OBL. Oh...I let them HAVE IT

President Barack Obama, the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, issued the order for that raid, AND MADE THE DECISION TO *DO* THAT RAID, period.

[progressivebydesign]

14. Good. And remind them that being a republican apparently means taking no blame,

and giving no credit, while taking all credit. The entire party is a basically a sociopath narcissist.

[HughBeaumont]

15. For those not following at home - "The Party of Personal Responsibility".

Yeah, "personally responsible" when good shit happens.

Everything else, blame the Democrats.
