The Path to 911, Repud Incumbents, and Afghanistan

[Vogon_Glory]

I'm wondering if the right-wing propaganda movie 'The Path to 9/11' can be used to our advantage because it stirred up old history, at least as far as some Repud incumbents are concerned.

Some of those birds were in office while al Qaeda was working on the 9/11 plot, some were in office when al Qaeda set off its bombs in Kenya and Tanzania, and some were in office while the Taliban was kicking the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.

So the questions should again be asked: why didn't these very same Republican solons offer their support for former president Clinton's anti-terror initiatives? Why didn't these Republicans vote to better fund the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan back in the 1990's? Why did these same GOPster congress-critters think that removing former president Clinton from office was more important than fighting al Qaeda; was party loyalty more important than fighting terrorists?

We here may know the answers. However, many recently-aroused voters ought to be made aware of the questions--and the answers.

We also know that these Repuds don't deserve free passes again, any more than they did back in 2000, 2002, and 2004.

1. The 9/11 Show didn't show Clinton in a positive light

Actually, it was the Clinton Administration they showed in a poor light. They made it seem like they had Osama by the short hairs and did nothing about it. That's why Clinton was so upset about it being aired. It was surely in poor taste!!! How it could be turned around to serve us is beyond me.

2. Of Course It Didn't

Of course The Path to 9/11 showed former president Clinton in a bad light. It was a right-wing propaganda piece. However, I don't see that whenever some Republiclown tries to use clips from Nowrasteh's waste of cinematography, a Democratic response team couldn't respond with a voice-over and graphics showing how Republiclown Congressman Howdy Bubba behaved after the East African embassy bombings, how Congressman Howdy Bubba (R) voted on authorizing the Clinton administration's security poses, or how Congressman Howdy Bubba (R) voted on the recommendations of the Hart Commission on airline security.


The US is heading down a long, dark, bleak road. The problem with all too many of us Democrats is that we are all too willing to cede control of recent political history to the right-wing Republican/"conservative" noise machine. After twelve years of Republican control of at least one house of Congress, six years of Republican control of both Congress AND the White House,we are seeing the results of allowing Newscorp, WND, NewsMax, Horowitz, Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest of the right-wing rogue's gallery to narrate our history.
