Did the Clinton Administration ever blame Bush 41 for WTC attack in '93? |
|
Think about it.
Clinton took office in January 1993. The first attack on the WTC occurred a month later.
Did we ever hear the Clinton administration point the the finger at Bush 41 for "allowing" the attack to happen?
Compare that with how Clinton has been getting the blame from these creeps for 9/11 which happened, not 1 month into the new administration, but 8 months into it and with warnings from their own counter-terrorism chief and CIA.
Maybe we should look into the ineptness of the Bush 41 administration in defending the USA.

2. And, please consider this as well.. |
|
#41 had VAST CIA and foreign policy experience.. Why did HE not know about these guys.. It's all a smoke screen.. They didn't even know that USSR was imploding or that the Wall would come down..
He was spending us into oblivion to combat the USSR's "threat", when they were so broke that they could not have picked up a tab at McDonalds...

Because they are grown-ups.
Unlike the two-year-olds currently occupying the White House.

6. I used that arugment on a Freeper and he didn't give a good response |
|
Repugs are hypocrites when they bring up Clinton and 9/11. Clinton only had 1 month to stop WTC 1993, were as * has 8 months to stop 9/11.

He didn't need a one-year ramping-up period or whatever nonsense the BADministration keeps spewing.
It also kills me that they keep bringing up the Cole and whining, "why didn't he start a war right after that?" Um, because the presidential election was going to be in three weeks? Because saddling an incoming president with a brand new war is a Republican trick? Because they liked to check facts before starting a land war?
Assholes, each and every one of them.

9. Whenever Clinton tried to attack Al Qaida, the Repugs would |
|
shout "wage the dog" and accuse Clinton of doing it for poltical reasons. My FR thread from '98 on my sig line is a good example.

10. Right. What the freepers are asking for was another Somalia. |
|
Good thing that Clinton didn't give the Bush Administration military plans for retaliation against the U.S.S. Cole. The Bush Administration couldn't even maintain Sandy Berger's hand's on approach to ferreting anti-terrorism.
But, there is definitely a problem here between presidential transitions. Within a month of Clinton's first term, we had the bombing of the WTC; and after nine months of the Bush Administration we had their total destruction. I think our enemies have spotted our weakness.

I can just hear them saying that shit...man they piss me off...

the GOP...the party of excuses.
