As governor, Bush hosted a Taliban delegation to work out a deal for
that oil pipeline. As president, he did diddly-squat about terrorism
until September 2001. So says everyone involved.

And Osama's bin Forgotten. (But that won't stop Shrub from crowing about
finally running the creature to ground when/if it ever happens.)

Spoken like the true Michael Moore fanatics you are.

Care to cite ANYONE claiming that Shrub was working terrorism before
9/11? No one not currently in the administration says he did, and even
those currently hanging on can't show anything.

Compassion so they can get on their feet and say death
to imperial America. Who came running in 2001 on Manhatan Island they
were all Amerians no out side help. The out siders were laughing so hard
they couldn't move.




There was only one guy just sitting there and not moving that I can
recall.

For seven ****ing minutes. Good call.

Yeah, it would have been a lot more effective had he jumped up and run
out the door (changing absolutely nothing). Of course then you'd
probably be complaining that he acted scared or something equally
silly. Doesn't much matter what he does, there are legions of people
who will bitch about it.

You might want to check with the Taliban to see if he did anything
besides play golf though - I think they'd disagree with you.

Some were berthed with minimal crews to maintain readiness. Full crews

Let's not forget an aircraft carrier group that has been working the
area relentlessly either - logging LOTS of helicopter hours. There
are 6,000 sailors on the carrier alone.

But wait! That's too NICE! Remember, US BAD. Military BAD. Republican

You are such a dumbass. A terrorist attack in which a net 3,000 deaths
occured - how is that even remotely similar to an act of God in which 50
times that amount died?? I'm not marginalizing 9/11, but this is a
completely different situation.

If it helps, it's being reported that the tsunami was all the US'
fault. Either we were doing underwater nuclear testing in the area,
or Allah decided to punish us for our evil deeds (though how he
figured that wiping out Indonesia - a heavily Muslim country - to do
that is beyond me).

How 'bout Richard Clarke?

"...the first point, I think the overall point is, there was no
plan on Al Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to
the Bush administration."

"the Clinton administration had a strategy in place, effectively
dating from 1998. And there were a number of issues on the table
since 1998. And they remained on the table when that
administration went out of office."

"the Bush administration decided then, you know, in late January,
to do two things. One, vigorously pursue the existing policy,
including all of the lethal covert action findings, which we've
now made public to some extent....The second thing the
administration decided to do is to initiate a process to look at
those issues which had been on the table for a couple of years and
get them decided." - Richard Clarke

Just in case you were really interested... he brought up other points
like Bush increasing the budget to get Al Qaeda by five times (IIRC),
and about changing the policy from reacting to Al Qaeda to one of
eliminating Al Qaeda.

I'd like to pose the same question the Democratic incumbant who held
office the 8 years prior.

Face it. Clinton stank. Bush stinks (but not as badly).

Not so. Clinton actually tried to hunt Osama down, but the political
climate called for playing sort-of nice. 9/11 did change that.

And of course there's the millenium celebration attack that didn't
happen. The 9/11 commission will tell you about that, and what credit
Clinton was due.

Shrub is a right winger. That's bad, but what's worse is he's an
incompetent right winger.
