The can dish it, but Clintons and supporters can take it?

Question

The upcoming ABC special "Path to 9/11" is said to include a segment that faults President Clinton for weakening the U.S. and missing opportunities to deal with Islamofascists when it was much easier than when President Bush inherited this dangerous situation we are in. The Clintons and supporters have demanded that ABC edit that segment out.

I may not agree with everything that President Bush has done, but the Clintonites certainly criticise President Bush, and applaud the misleading Michael Moore and company from releasing negative attacks on President Bush, but they can't take any criticism about their beloved president? This is absurd and a classic case of double-standards. Outrageous!

I implore each and everyone of you to contact ABC and demand that they not bow to Clintonites demands to edit the ABC special segment. Let freedom reign, let freedom of expressions reign. I thought that only the Democrats are champions of that cause. I guess I was wrong!

For those who continue to write that no facts exists that President Clinton weakened the U.S. are living a fantasy and are denying reality. Has everyone forgotten about the 1st terror attack on the World Trade Center, or the attacks on U.S. interests, or the attack on the Cole? These all happened under President Clinton who chose not to deal with Islamofascist threats when it was much easier to do so under his administration.

I certainly don't like everything that President Bush has done, but the reality is that he inherited this dangerous situation from his predecessor. The 2nd terror attack on the World Trade Center was years in the making. There is no denying that. I voted for Clinton, I must admit, but in retrospect, though his presidency was marked by good economy, he has done very poorly with defense and protection of U.S. interests. Even his FBI director has repeatedly said that Clinton has weekend the FBI and CIA. Freedom must reign, and the unedited ABC special must air.

I further read that this ABC movie is not based on facts, and even though it claims to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report, it is not. That is completely incorrect. For all those saying and writing this, I would encourage you to re-read the 9/11 Commission Report. Start on page 339, a chapter called "Foresight -- and Hindsight." Page 340 - 342 strongly discusses the numerous reports and intelligence gathering under Clinton administrtaion (specifically 1993 - 1999) and warning that the Clinton Administration chose to disregard, and enjoy the prosperity of the world during that time rather than look ahead and deal with a growing threat in its diaper stages. Please, please re-read the 9/11 Commission Report before you make additional incorrect and misleading comments. I voted for Clinton both times, and in retrospect, aside from good economy, he sacrificed and undermined our security, though I am sure unintentionally, simply not having foresight of Islamofascism.

Answer 1

Freedom of speech to them only means freedom of THEIR speech.

Answer 2

The structures of the present government grew up under capitalism and are designed to protect capitalist rule.

This goes for Democrats as well as Republicans.

Bombing the Sudan sure didn't help matters much as far as dealing with terrorism is concerned.

What Bush has done is far worse, we now live in fear, not because we were attacked, but because we now know we can never be peaceful with others, we have bullied the world and there is no doubt many want to kill us for our actions against them on thier soil.

So, Clinton may have been weak but remember all of this War on Terror has very little to do with 9-11. The Government now and in the 90s had little concern and still does.

Have the recomendations of the 9-11 Commission been heeded?

Not a bit.

Open ports, etc. Ask any Northern Ireland citizen... the way to stop terrorism is to A. stop doing it yourself and B. address the causes diplomaticaaly so bombs are not thrown and planes are not flown into buildings. Bush can't stop that, and we are just getting lucky.

The roosters still will come home to roost if we keep them fed and we are overfeeding them at this current time.

Answer 3

It IS curious. I heard that Madeline Albright and Stephanopolous (I think) and others in the Clinton administration are "outraged" that this is airing, and that they didn't get advance copies or something.

Who the hell are THEY? Last I checked, they were not in power anymore.

To be fair, I think the Reagan thingy with James Brolin was cancelled, wasn't it? Seems they were portraying Reagan in a negative way, and the network (CBS?) bowed to pressure. So it cuts both ways.

It just cracks me up though, that people like Albright et al (who are all a bunch of half wits), are "demanding" crap. I wish they would shut the hell up. Or maybe not, all their b itching makes them look even more ridiculous.

Love, Jack.

Answer 4

OK fine to your opinion but here is my own personal belief...The Bush administration has blamed every single problem on the previous Clinton adminstration..they blamed Clinton for 9/11 when 2 very important facts prove Bush wrong. 1) Clinton saw the rising tide of terrorism and tried to pass legislation that includes many of the safeguards now in place but the republican congress shot it down saying it was a waste, warmongering,etc. 2) Bush took power in early 2000....9/11 was in late 2001...if you are President for over 1 year b4 trouble happens then guess what YOUR BAD!

This is just another Bush smear compaign of lies and "Accept what we say or my Vice President will shoot you in the face and blame you for looking like a tiny bird". We had 12 years of Republican presidentcy where economy went into toilet..8 years of Clinton brought it back and as soon as Bush came in right down tubes and Bush's claim, no joke here, was that all the economic trouble was from Clinton. Clinton has taken abuse, ridicule and slander from Bush for 6 years now..I am surprised he waited this long to object.

One more thing..if we went thru impeachment for Clinton getting a BJ and Bush wipes his @ss with the US Constitution and gets a parade...why would turn and say Clinton is the one who can dish but not take it? Add the real facts and it is totally opposite of what you are claiming.

I now demand YOU call your congressman and start the impeachment process on Bush.

Oh and 1 more fun fact...all of this middle east stuff..ALL OF IT came from Reagan who gave us all a bucket of crap and told us it was perfume. I liked Regan but hey he did F this up royally

Answer 5

LMAO I think it's really funny that people on here are saying they inherited it from bush Sr. They have been saying Bush Jr.had 9 whole months to get it straight. Hell Clinton had 8 years!

Answer 6

Exactly right , EDDie!! Clinton and his supporters are now demanding that ABC edit certain content from this special. But censorship by any other name still stinks. And the liberals continually con people into thinking that THEY are champions of free speech!! Can you spell hypocrites? I believe it's spelled: D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-S.

Answer 7

Anyone with HALF a gd brain knows Clinton weakened this country and set up 9-11..That leaves Liberals out..

All of them crying and demanding this and that over this special that most of us already knew anyway,..Geez, I didnt see any Republicans demanding the Michael Moore movie to be pulled..Typical cry babie libtards

Answer 8

The problem is that the film claims to be based on the 911 commission report, which it is not. Remove the claim that it is based on the 911 commission report and then there is no issue.

Answer 9

... well the question is... how accurate is it... does it just address the issues you mentioned or does it go into even more questionable issues?

I doubt it's as simple as you state... there is a reason they are calling it a "docudrama" and "fiction"... probably because they couldn't get away with calling it the truth...

the only problem is.. people will take it as the truth, when the network has said that it's fiction...

Answer 10

And Clinton inherited it from George Bush Senior.
And ABC has stated parts of it are drama not documented fact.

Answer 11

I'm getting a kick out of this one! Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch. Where were these guys when Moore's 'doc' was aired?
