You can't trust Republicans on national security -- and two things proved it yesterday:
1) In a powerful interview that aired yesterday, President Bill Clinton took on the extremist Republican propaganda about 9/11 -- and Fox News tried to cover up the fact that the Bush administration downgraded terrorism as a priority before September 11th and has failed to eliminate Osama bin Laden since the attacks.
2) An explosive report on the still-classified National Intelligence Estimate states that the "invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks" -- and Republicans have been trying to cover it up.

These animals will do ANYTHING to further their extreme right-wing agenda regardless of who or what gets destroyed in the process, think Germany in the 1930's. One only has to look back at the last 6 years to see the damage done by the criminal Bush administration, anyone who adheres tho their doctrine is Un-American.
Svern; you are a fvcking moron preaching your NEOCON bullsh't. What do you do cut and paste directly from newsmax.com!? "duh, yeah I concede that 9/11happened under bush" LMAO, it's that mentality that you and your NEOCON brood share that are responsible for the deterioration of our great country, Yeah things have been GREAT the last six years, man you need haldol or something, anything but oxycontin right Rush? and then to attack the questioner validates your ignorance and stupidity, you would'nt say it to anyones face would ya, fvcking coward.

Bravo, a very astute observation.
Anyway, the easiest way to sum it up would probably be the following:
1. Mid term elections. For the first time in a decade the Republicans are fighting for their lives(or at least their jobs)
2. Bush has never admitted he made a mistake. Oh, that's not true. He did say it may not have been a good thing to say "Bring em' on". He said that years ago and just admitted it was a mistake a month ago. Perhaps his 29% -35% poll rating at the time was a factor. It has skyrocket into the stratosphere since then, all the way up to 37% - 43%, depending which poll you believe. It's sad that for any other president that number would be disastrous, but the Republicans are thrilled about it. By contrast, President Bill Clinton's numbers Never fell below 57%, for any reason.
Anyway, I believe that Bush truly believes he is infallible, therefore there was no failure.
Joseph Goebbels said "If you tell a lie enough times people will begin to believe it"
Bush lied, thousands died! Bush decieved, the nation bleeds!

Hey Svern, why do you lie and say your not a republican? Give it a rest. And tell me this, why did the 9/11 committee who Bush hand picked give his adminstration a D on national security? Why did Bush and Cheney refuse to testify under oath at the 9/11 hearings? Tell me, if Bush is so concerned with national security why didn't he address the border issue immediately after 9/11? Why are our ports and nuclear power plants just as vulnerable today as they were pre 9/11? The republicans control everything, so please don't give me B.S. about this being the liberals or democrats fault.
Osama still runs free, and what is Bush doing respecting Pakistan? What is he so affraid of?
Hey S, way to go, rather than answering my legitimate questions, you resort to name calling. Typical. Why shouldn't Bush answer questions about 9/11? Gee, I don't know, he was President during the worst attack on our soil right? And please don't give that I'm an independent B.S. Your just embarrassed to admit your a republican.

I guess we must have listened to different interviews. Clinton defending himself against something that did not need to be defended was interesting. If you really watched closely, he sounded a lot like Bush... He said, she said, terrorist and so on... The only thing tangible was the Clarke story but, he was getting screwed by the Clinton Administration also.
Regarding number 2, go back to number 1. Don't you think if fanatical islam was growing in the Clinton years that it stands to reason that it wasn't going to stop in the Bush years.
Get a job, read a book your imagination is working overtime.

Thank gawd I'm a Liberal.
President Clinton warned Bush about a 9-11 but Bush was in office for 9 months and knew with our intelligence that it could happen yet he waited for this and did nothing to go after the culprit responsible cause he was too busy getting Ladins family out of the U.S. to protect those bastards. Clinton went in for Ladin in August of '98 but missed him. Bush still sat and read his book upside down and did nothing because his a@s was safe away from the areas targeted. Strange how he was in Florida that day and Cheney of command was hiding but no one knows where he was either.
This is a Rad-con =neo-Nazi's Creed.......
I'm Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD Republican.
I like big cars, big cigars and naturally big racks. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid-level governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing compassionate. I think playing with guns doesn't make you a killer. I believe its called the Boy Scouts for a reason. I think I'm better than the homeless. I am not the real Slim Shady, so I think that I’m gonna stay seated right here in this damn comfy chair. I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.

I think Bush doesn't want to admit the fact that his Iraq policies have backfired. What you mentioned in your question has clearly underscored the fact that the Bush administration is not trustworthy of our safety. The homeland is still not secure and is vulnerable for another terror attack! It seems he's covering up his blunders so that the American people won't know about it. TOO LATE NOW!

Actually, I thought Clinton took a fair question and handled it very immaturely. It sounded like a lot of the answers in this forum. He could have answered the question and moved on, but when you 1) have no class; and 2) aren't used to taking hard questions from the liberal media, you react the way Clinton did.
What did you think of the finger wag? Did it remind you of another episode?

of direction it got here from 8 years of George W. Bush, inspite of c0n denial, blame shifting, tries at diversion, and pretending Bush in no way existed. Bush made a boat load of incorrect strikes -- Iraq "war" that become quite an extremely-costly invasion for oil, very own motives, and fiscal benefit for Cheney and his cronies all interior the call of "war on terror", tax breaks and loopholes for super Oil and agencies in replace for political favors, and as a puppet for Wall highway, deregulation of banking. The latter blunder unleashed the greed and selfishness that allowed banking to jot down a brilliant number of undesirable loans for residences human beings had no wish of procuring. As for background, it become Ronald Reagan and his “trickle down” “Reaganomics” that one and began the tumble. Like Bush, he created tax breaks and loopholes for the wealthy, and after his 8 years, we've been interior the hollow vast time. “Daddy Bush” didn’t want to yet become forced to develop taxes to objective and fix Reagan’s debacle. as a consequence, he in easy terms served one term. in the process the 8 years of Clinton, we made progression interior the restoration attempt. Then in 2000 Bush and the GOP stole the election. as a replace of sorting out for the rustic and persevering with the form that have been made while Clinton become in, this damaging excuse for a president and chief observed Reagan then went lots farther, pushing us to the fringe of something worse than the super melancholy. Little ask your self why c0ns and the GOP want us to overlook Bush, that's why they now blame President Obama for each thing. Hogwash. Watch the HBO action picture ‘Too vast to Fail”, which includes data, and you gets a clean image of how this residing house of enjoying cards Bush created almost sunk the rustic. And Obama become instrumental in combating that. Reagan and Bush have been Republicans, that's synonymous with greed and evil. i'm going to in no way overlook what bush did, and that i'll in no way have faith the GOP.

February 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, possibly with involvement of friendly rival al-Qaida) set off a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center, killing six and wounding more than 1,000.
Spring 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the Sudanese Islamic Front and at least one member of Hamas) plot to blow up the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the U.N. complex, and the FBI's lower Manhattan headquarters.
November 1995: Muslim extremists (possibly Iranian "Party of God") explode a car bomb at U.S. military headquarters in Saudi Arabia, killing five U.S. military servicemen.
June 1996: Muslim extremists (13 Saudis and a Lebanese member of Hezbollah, probably with involvement of al-Qaida) explode a truck bomb outside the Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds.
August 1998: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) explode truck bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 and injuring thousands.
October 2000: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) blow up the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole, killing 17 U.S. sailors.
Sept. 11, 2001: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) hijack commercial aircraft and fly planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 Americans.
How many since? OUCH does it hurt to get owned this bad?
Buh Bye
Consider your point MOOTED
EDIT:
Yes I concede that 9-11 happened during Bush's term. So I guess these guys got into the country, set up shop and learned to fly planes in 8 months?
You, my lady, are a MORON.
Once agin you have been MOO-TED
Buh Bye!!!
EDIT #2
OMG You are making this too easy. American casualties in Iraq consist of brave MILITARY personell. The deaths on 9-11 were American civillians. Get it?
No Math needed. OUCH!!
MOO-TED (for a third time)
EDIT 3
Sorry I am having too much fun with you. I am not a Republican so you can drop that pathetic BS.
And yes - ONE - United States Military life is too many. I have said from day one we should turn the middle east into glass.
Since you seem to care so much for our military fighting the animals OVER THERE. Certainly you can't disagree that a nice large nuclear attack would have solved this whole problem years ago.
Right? Or are you just full of sh*t like every other lib in the world?
LAST EDIT (I SWEAR)
Yea, that's what I thought.
STFU
Sorry one more for SWaggs.
Better question: Why was the Bush admin asked ANYTHING about 9/11? Do you honestly think it was set up in 8 months. Quit passing the buck libtard.
Oh and I am a registered independent.
Why don't you go try and solicit some more young girls
