Bill Clinton kept us safe from terrorists

[stray cat]

Bush likes to claim he has kept Amercans safe from terrorism because there have been no major attacks since 9-11. The same logic can be used to make the case that we were obviously safer under Bill Clinton because there were fewer succesul attacks when he was president even though Bin Laden had already declared war on us.

1. I've been waiting for years for ANY Dem on the talking head shows to

bring this up. :eyes: Somehow,they never do...and it's an excellent point...don't know why they run from it since every Repug can't wait to make that statement at least once when "terrorism" is brought up.

2. Actually......EVERY President kept us safe....EXCEPT BUSH! n/t

3. No, they'll bring up the USS Cole and the embassy bombings

Yes, I know that's not here in the homeland, but that's their fall back. I know because that was the response to my LTTE thatpointed out that the last successfully prosecuted persons who committed terrorism in the US (the perpetrators of the first WTC bombing)happened under Clinton. So that's what you'll hear.

4. And the first WTC attack. NT

6. They won't go far with that

The perpetrators were hunted down, prosecuted, convicted and are now spending life sentences in prison during Clinton.

9. Not only that, but it happened a MONTH after Clinton took office

All of the planning, logisitcs, training and CATALYST was from Bush I's term.

5. Repubs think Bush's term started 9/12/01.

7. It's like an a.d. and b.c. thing

I am working up a post on that. It really is an unquestioned caveat that garners a reverence that I think is wearing off at this point but they are so out of touch they don't know it.

8. isn't that the truth?

I just love it when they claim Bush has kept us safe, forgeting to mention EXCEPT for 9/11, a glaring example of abject incompetence.

ps: Your screen name always makes me giggle.
