Yes, I knew that......to the person who said Clinton could have stopped Bin Laden. Guess you didn't know that Clinton had a plan to go in and assasinate Bin Laden after the USS Cole, and the CIA would not confirm that it was Bin Laden that did it. The Republicans in Congress told him he couldn't do it. Bush had 8 months and plenty of evidence to stop 9/11 before it happened. Why do you all keep trying to blame the past before getting your facts?

I can not accept that bush is at fault for 9-11 .Yes we knew something was up and yes we could of possibly prevented it .Did we do the right thing after we began having hiJackings in the 60's and secure the cockpit doors or do we blame bush .
I can agree that all the deaths and injuries in Iraq where totaly avoidable and they should not have occured .
As far as Katrina deaths go ,It was possible to reduce the number significantly ,but this was a failure of local government preparedness and not Bush .I am not defending Bush by any stretch of the imagination here but only seek to point out the truth .The responce to katrina is the saddest note in our nations history aandd it has been proven that only a small number of lotters were armed and did so for profit .Some infact where the police but thats for another answer .
I hope you can get your outrage for Bush in perspective and only lable and place the blame for things where it truly belongs and not all of it lands on Bush .Much of it does but not all .

Did you know that hurricanes are natural disasters? Did you know that the Democrats who run Louisiana did nothing to save lives there? Did you know that Clinton could have prevented 9-11 by capturing Bin-Laden when he had the chance? Did you know that no less than 25 of the Clintons' ex-friends have died mysteriously?

I bet there is more lost due to the health system which is also under his administration...Just as with our Prime Minister, our health system is practically non existant, no beds, no enough heath workers, Doctors, Specialists..Hospitals turning people away, many have died...(Is it the same in USA)..

I didn't know, our history started when Bush took office.
Which is how you rationalize, to blame him, I guess nothing
Your Hero did before, even caused a nosebleed.

Bush seemed to enjoy signing lots of death warrents too when he was governor. I have no doubt he it totally indifferent to the thousands of civilian Iraqi deaths he caused with his invasion and occupation.
