More American citizens have been killed by 'terrorists' under Bush

[keithyboy]

administration than any other President in recent history. How many Americans were killed by terrorists during the Carter and Clinton administrations compared to the number killed during the Reagan/Bush/Bush administrations? What are these dittoheads thinking when they say we are more secure and safer under the Republicans?
It was Democratic administrations that entered into and fought WWII, Korean, and Viet Nam wars. What the hell are they thinking?

RNC Communications Director Statement on Al Gore’s Comments Today at MoveOn.org Rally


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, DC—RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke issued the following statement today in response to a speech by former Vice President Al Gore attacking President Bush.

“Al Gore served as Vice President of this country for eight years. During that time, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States five times and terrorists killed US citizens on at least four different occasions including the first bombing of the World Trade Center, the attacks on Khobar Towers, our embassies in East Africa, and the USS Cole.”

“Al Gore’s attacks on the President today demonstrate that he either does not understand the threat of global terror, or he has amnesia.”

Sorry, but 9/11 happened under Bush's watch.

3. Big gap

Fails to mention the CONVICTIONS that the Clinton administration obtained in the first WTC bombing. Maybe Bushco has amnesia.

2. As Amnesty International pointed out in their report . . .

Bush's "War on Terror" (so-called) has made the world less safe. In fact, there have been more attacks by al Queda in the 2 years following 9/11 than in the 10 years prior.
